January 2010

So I am really bad at updating but I am going to try and do a monthly review It might be easier. This is not in any particular order.

  • At the begining of January I got a letter that I qualify for National Honor Society. While I know alot of people recieve this I never thought I would. I was never really good at school so I love that I am doing well in College.
  • My weekends have been filled with hanging out with awesome friends. From movies to Ava's and girl chat sessions ( there are more twilight fans out there then people want to admit) I have had a blast. Where was all this fun when I wasn't trying to find stuff to do during Christmas break.
  • I experienced mediterian food. That was so good. I have practiced making cafe frappes and have cut out a little bit of Starbucks ( definetely a hard habit to break)
  • Africa trip planning is going well. I am sending out my support letters this week. Even with all the fear of traveling without someone I am close to, I feel like this trip is totally in God's hands. We are doing an informational evening on February 27th and TCC.
  • Ammy had to go to the hospital with some issues. They will be doing another MRI to find out exactly what is going on. It is a little scary but we know that we have God to rely on.
  • My friend got baptized. She has had a really hard life and it is so exciting to see her join bible study in Sept. and now be baptized.

With all the craziness that January has brought, I have also been learning some lessons:

  • As much as I want people to be proud of me and support me it is not about those people. I need to remember that God is the one who needs to be proud of me. I should be striving to hear him and him alone say well done.
  • People will let you down, they will hurt you over and over again but again it is God that will always be with you.
  • I will always miss my dad it will just be in different ways
  • Our world is full of pain and sorrow but there is always a hope in Jesus.

I know this is a really long post sorry. Just wanted to get it all down when I could.
