Shut Your Eyes

I'm prety sure that at this moment, there are about 4,000 college students still asleep, as today is what my school calls reading day: A.K.A., NO CLASS!!

Earlier this week, a decision was made for my sister and nieces to come live at my house for a little while. So, naturally, the youngest of the two very precious girls, slept in bed with me. Normally, I do fine, but last night, I just could not seem to get the sleep/wake cycle in control. Obviously, my body thought it was cool to be awake a one o'clock in the morning, with me knowing that I had to get up in just a mere four hours to drive the kids to school.

I now sit here, in the library of the school I attend, staring blankly at the hammock in front of me, thinking, "Should I go nap. Wait, what kind of sick people have laid in that thing. Does it really matter? I'm about to fall over... No, I will study, as originally intended." All this going on in my head, seeing that I'm the only student in the entire building, I'm sure.

I'm not sure how far the studying will get me, because I'm so exhausted, but at least I can give it a run.

For now, I will continue to stare at the hammock. Who knows, maybe I will get over the germaphobia and take a little napsy.

The Opportunity Arises

As of late, I have studying day in and day out. Now that I have a break, I can finally sit down and write.

An early summer has arrived here in good ol' Tennessee, and I must say that I am ever so excited. In two months, I will be landing in Honduras for another mission trip with my school. I am so glad that God has given me the opportunity to go again. This time, we will be there for around three weeks. Which means we can cover more ground and help more people with their medical problems. In case you have forgotten, here is the beautiful place I am returning too, and hope to continue to do so:

I am so excited to return. It is my dream to one day live there and teach.

Beautiful God

Spring has sprung here in beautiful Tennessee, and things couldn't be more lovely. As I look to my left, I see the beautiful sun, shining on the beautiful campus of the college I attend, and students hanging out, most likely deterring from homework and the like.

Lately, God has been showing me how beautiful He is. Not that I didn't already know, it is just becoming more real to me. Now, when I look out at nature, I don't just see trees, grass, and animals. I see God. He is in everything. He made it beautiful.

Easter is right around the corner, and I am so excited.

Uneasy Feeling

I often times wonder: "Where in the world is God leading me?"

Somedays, I wish that things in my future were clearer, instead of the fuzz that I see right now.

Then I think, "God's got this, so why am I fretting?" No clue, but I do, on a daily basis.

I'm not feeling positive right now, especially because I have yet to know what I will be doing after graduation in July. It's hard because my dad is one of those types that is all the time saying, "You have to have a job right then," or, "I'm afraid you won't get one." All I ever say back to him is, "I got this, do not worry about me. I know for sure that I will not get a job right off the bat."

I hate this uneasy, unsure feeling. Why won't it go away?

Spring Break

This has been one of the dullest spring breaks of my LIFE!! And that's a long time, because, so far, I have been in school my ENTIRE life, since the age of five. I have done homework just about every single day.

However, today, it is a bright 72 degrees outside, which is absolutely lovely.

This morning, I shaved my dog. Not a very fun task

This, my friends is PeeWee, my baby. His hair is shorter now, but I had to show him to you, isn't he precious!!!

He really did not like being shaved. Ha, who does?

Summer Divine

My Road by Nina Bankston

Sweet summer!! I am so ready for summer to be here! Normally I love cold weather, but this year, I am ready for sticky, hot summer days where just by stepping outside, you sweat. Call me crazy if you like, but I will not care.

Riding with the windows, wind in my hair, blasting my music is the only way it should be, forever!

So, SUMMER, I am begging you, Please, please, please hurry!

Forward

As you know, I spent my weekend with the youth group at my church at Winterfest.

The line-up was simply amazing:

Friday night: Leeland for worship and Jentzen Franklin speaking; Ricardo Sanchez closing worship

Saturday night: CHRIS TOMLIN for worship and Reinhart Bunkey speaking

Sunday morning: Reggie Dabbs speaking and Israel and New Breed leading worship.

God was all in that arena, that is for sure!! So many lives were touched, people were saved or rededicated to the Lord. It was an awesome experience.

I am moving Forward with my life, which seemed to be the general theme this weekend.
