I cannot believe that it is already half way through February!! It is amazing how fast time goes by. I say that every year and it seems that every year it goes by faster and faster. I wish life would just slow down! Yeah right huh?
I figured Id give the monthly update… (this is for Jan. & Feb.)
School is going great! My classes are all pretty easy. I haven’t been overwhelmed with them so far. I have been spending a lot of time with the girls on my hall this semester, which has been a blast! The leadership team has been such a blessing. God is continuing to stretch me which is extremely nerve wracking at times but I know it is very much needed. He has been teaching me to trust these girls with sharing my heart. I haven’t had a really close friend to do that with in so long . The girls in my prayer group are really starting to get comfortable with each other and they have started sharing their hearts with each other as well. This last week I did the “take out the trash” theme and we all wrote down things in our lives that weren’t pleasing to God, that were sinful and holding us back and then we all threw them in the dumpster together and I prayed for each of them and then for all of us just to leave all the trash in our lives in the trash and let God take care of it. It kind of sounds lame explaining it on here lol but it was such an awesome experience and it was nice to know that everyone of us had some things that we were struggling with. We are never alone.
My RAs just asked me yesterday if I would consider being an SLD (spiritual life director) for next year if I come back…which is the leader over the prayer leaders..so it is a step up. I think it would be cool so I am filing out the applications this week and will be going through a few interviews in a couple of weeks, so we will see where this takes me!
Boys- nothing new here =) I think Stephen and I have finally got this friends thing down! I call him only when I need help with my electronics that are never working right (stupid Apple!) and he only calls me when he finds something out that he wants the details of and yells at me for not telling him even though we don’t really talk. Haha its fun times for sure! lol Boys at school are still ridiculous. Taking time for myself and not having to worry about it has been fabulous. ---Valentines Day however, won’t be the same lol I don’t have any new stories yet this semester =) Thankfully!
Church- still haven’t found one that I really like. I’ve just been going to whatever one I feel like for that Sunday. I think this Sunday I am going to try our campus church service, I’ve never been before. There is one more Assembly of God church about 22 minutes away that I just discovered so I think I am going to drive out and check that one out soon.
Work- I have a job offer to be an assistant to an elderly guys who does the accounting and financial side of about 7 or so businesses around the area. The problem is that he is looking for someone to commit year round. I’m not so sure I want to stay here all summer. I don’t think I could, at least not this summer.
In the mean time, I am working at Super 8 motel. LOL –as a housekeeper. It is interesting to say the least =) My first day the head lady of house keeping kept telling my I was slow. “you too slow Hunny, too slow. Gots to pick up the pace, you too slow.” I’ll get it eventually. Haha. It also takes everything that I have not to say “Housekeeping!!” Like David Spade does on Tommy Boy!!! Im just waiting for someone that I know to come stay so that I can!! OH YEAH, and today, I went to turn on the faucet in the bath tub to rinse it down, and yes, the shower was on. I soaked my head. I just sat there and laughed at myself. Im just glad no one was around to see. =) oh brother.
God- God has been so amazing this semester. He has really been teaching me to trust Him and to let Him deal with all of the fears that I have. It is so easy to get overwhelmed and worrisome about all sorts of things and He has been teaching me just to relax and let Him handle everything. Spending time with God has always been a struggle of mine but this last month I have definitely improved and it is AMAZING what a difference it makes when you start your day off right. He has been blessing me with amazing new people in my life and great opportunities. I am so excited to see how much I’ve grown and where I will be at in my walk with Him at the end of the year!
Well, that was A LOT all in one so. Im out =)
