| I survived three finals in one day yesterday. Done. It's either an A or a B in those classes. I shot for the A's, so we'll see how that turns out. I have one paper (a big, important, massive, I-have-no-idea-how-to-write-it paper) due on Tuesday, which means I needed to start it last night. Instead, I went out to eat at Olive Garden and watched Alpha Dog. I love my priorities when it comes to class.
So I'm almost done. Saturday, I get my hair done. Sunday, I work. Monday, I work. Tuesday, I work and turn my final in. Wednesday, I work. Thursday, I work and then it's off to Tulsa for the beginning part of the weekend. And the latter half it's all about the Ropes Course with the missions teams. Can't even begin to tell you how excited I am.
So it's here. The end of the semester. It's somewhat bittersweet. Because in 18 days, I will be 22. Ack. Growing up seemed so cool when I was younger, and now I just want to stay this age for a little bit longer. I'm not ready for bills and responsibility all the time. | | |
| I think that I might finally become the person God has been calling me to be. That's probably the best feeling ever in the history of life. | | |
| And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And He set me on fire, and I am burning alive.
With His breath in my lungs I am coming undone.
And I cannot hold it in and remain composed.
Love's taken over me and so I propose the letting myself go.
I am letting myself go.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
I need to catch my breath, I need to.
I need to catch my breath, give me a moment now.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
You are my joy.
I'm laughing so hard
And I'm laughing so hard
And I'm laughing so hard
Sometimes it scares me just how wonderful things are. Yes, there are struggles. Yes, there are bad days. Yes, there are times when I have no clue what I am doing or where my life will take me. But for the most part, I'm joyful. There's too much good in the world to not be joyful. There's too much to live for to focus on the negative. That's where I'm at in life. | | |
| God is so good. Seriously. The past few weeks have not been the easiest, and even though it's now Spring Break, things will continue to be harder than I would like. Partially because of the still healing foot and partially because of other things. But none of that matters because God has grown me, taught me, and shown me so many things over the past few weeks. I've remained more faithful to Him in this time than I ever did before, and He has honored that.
Our God is an awesome, awesome God. I am constantly floored by just how much He loves me.
China is slowly approaching, and I can hardly contain my excitement. It's going to be hard, extremely hard. It's going to be stressful and busy and a million things. But it's all a part of God's plan, and what a beautiful plan it is!
I feel His hand on the trip every time I look at, think of, or pray for one of my team members. He is walking with us as we approach our departure. And it's beyond wonderful to have Him as our 10th (or 11th, depending) team member. | | |
| I broke my right foot in two places today. Two places. It hurts, and I am (hopefully) going to see the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to find out if I need pins in my foot or just a nice big cast. I think this is God's way of forcing me to slow down. Guess He decided I don't listen well, which is right.
If you want to do anything for me, either send me flowers (prettyness is needed to look at since I am stuck inside) or call me and come see me or something. I'm doing well emotionally and am making sure I have a sense of humor about all this. | | |
