I have survived half of my first week back to school. It's going okay for the most part. I'm doing pretty well with studying actually. I have a big Anatomy Lab test on Friday that I'm a little worried about, but not too bad. Feeling pretty confident about this one...hopefully getting the grade to prove my confidence. ;)
So God is still doing some crazy stuff in my life right now. I'm a lot more at ease with all the stress that I've been dealing with. I have to admit I was beginning to get a little doubtful and weary, but God proved faithful...He always does. Thanks Jesus!
Summer is getting closer everyday...I can almost taste it! I'm going to be working as a summer missionary in St. Louis with International students and other mission opportunities. I cannot wait to see what God does this summer! Only 6 more weeks of school after this week!
I should probably get going because I have to work on a paper and want to get it finished before the caffeine in me wears out. haha.
In Christ,

*Sigh*
So I really don't want to go back to Bolivar tomorrow. For some reason, I'm just totally not thrilled about school at all. I am pretty sure it's because of all the work I have to do. I'm thinking about maybe dropping a class just so I can concentrate better and make sure all my grades stay up. Also, since I know I'm transferring, I guess that is adding a lot of stress. My Bolivia team fundraising is also stressing me out a little as well. I've been praying a lot about all of this, but I'm having a hard time just givin it all up to Him. I want everything to just fix it on my own or if it could fix itself that would be nice too. But....I have to have faith that God is in control. He knows what will happen with all of this and He will take care of me.
Spring break went by too fast. I didn't really do much. I got to shop a little, but didn't buy much. I mostly hung out watching movies and caught up in my t.v. shows. I also had to study some because I have an A&P lab test when I get back to school (UGH!). I ate and made some really good food like THAI! Oh I wish I could eat that everyday.
I may not be posting much in the next few weeks. I'm trying to stay away from internet totally unless I really need to use it. I mean, I only checked facebook like 3 times over break which is like amazing lol but I realized how much time I waste on the internet...I am going to be studying a lot instead because I really really need to make good some better grades. They're not all terrible or anything, but definitely need to improve. Anyway, should probably get going because it's my last night and I have stuff to get done before I head back tomorrow. I'm also going to make sushi with my mom...yummy!!
God Bless

IS IT BREAK TIME YET?!
So I have been completely overwhelmed with school. I have had a ton of tests, and I'm not finished. Luckily, this will be our last week and then we have spring break! Thank God! I'm so ready to take a break....ugh. Anwyay...life has been decent other than the stressfullness of college work. I have gotten to do a lot in the last weeks.
On the weekend of February 27th, I went home and took my friends Christina and Katie to a conference called Engage. It was a lot of fun to hang out with them in my hometown and worship Jesus together. I got to meet some cool people, and I learned a lot too.
Then, last weekend (March 6-7), I got to lead my first Disciple Now in Steelville, MO. It was a great experience! I lead a group of 6th grade girls with my roommate. They were so funny and full of energy! I wished
I could stay up all night and still be able to be all hyper the next day too. Haha yeah I guess you could say they made me feel old. One of the highlights of the weekend was getting to lead one of the girls in my group to the Lord. We had an invitation at the end of our service Sat. night and she came up to me and said she wanted to be saved. I was thrilled! It was definitely an emotional night to say the least. I could write a lot more about that weekend, but I will refrain for now and move on.
This weekend was good as well. On Friday, didn't do anything except watch movies with my girls all night and eat junk food. Oh, and we wen
t to a show here called "Battle of the Air Bands". It was great! Yesterday, I studied and worked on my paper, then I got to hang out with my friends. My friends Tricia and Jennifer came in from St. Louis for their spring break. We watched a couple movies--one of which was "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". It was definitely one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen about the Holocaust. Then today, I went to 2nd Baptist church in Springfield with my friends. That church is huge! I thoroughly enjoyed the service though. The music was awesome, and the message was touching. The pastor spoke about how when life crashes, we have to be able to still turn to God and know He is there watching over us and guiding us.
