I finally have the will-power to sit back and write a good to honest blog entry about my thoughts, prayers, and dreams. It's been a hectic semester so far here at school, but I wouldn't trade a minute of it. God keeps blessing me more and more everyday and I am still amazed at how much he keeps blessing me, especially as I give myself more to him everyday.
Class are making it hard to want to study. It seems like the more I study the more I struggle and although I can rock the short answer quizzes and essays, when it comes to multiple choice and true and false, I stink like poo on the bottom of your shoe. Sometimes I wish I had that logical brainsmarts just so I can make it through that portion of school. The boys downstairs have it....maybe I can suck out the brilliant minds of Edwin, Gabriel, and the Rittenhouse brothers. :) (Leah the Alien Brain Stealer).
Fireflies, definitely give me company tonight. I am up late once again reading over some study questions and talking to some amazing people online. You know, I don't really mind that much. It gives me something to hope in. Gives me people to take joy in. "Beneath the snowy veil, content like a panda, still breathing the mountain air..." Shelby, today is one of the days I miss my little sister and her insane dances to Owl City on long just the two of us car trips. You make me happy to have an awesome family.
"Take my hand, hold it tight, I will protect you, from all around you..." I sometimes feel like Phil Collins really knew that he was talking about. Not only is God always there for you, but he really puts people in your life to help you through anything. I am so thankful for the group of friends and people that I have met here at EMU. Our trip to the cabin was priceless. A small little cottage with 4 boys and 3girls sharing life stories, testimonies, and love. A love of a savior. I can remember the most priceless moments. Standing around singing, eating together around the picnic table and giggling, have all of us on the bed at once talking and it then breaking when Bekah sat down, fixing the bed..me laying on it...and then Austin and Taylor attacking me in my sleep and breaking the bed again, the long morning hike up the mountain to the top where we had the most beautiful and breathtaking service ever. If you would of saw this sight, you would definitely of had to have someone wipe up the drool. IT WAS A HECK OF A HIKE but when we got to the top, we all picked rocks, read the word, and sang praise songs. I felt like the Lord was sitting right next to me, holding my hand, telling me that he told me so on having amazing friends. ..."I thank God for [them] everyday" 1 Corth. 1:17
The more and more that I continue praying to God, the more God keeps placing things on my heart to pursue. Hopefully I have the strength to continue God's will, even at the sake of being hurt.
This music and theater ministry program idea is so great. The departments are so supportive and so much more than what Shepherd has offered me. They "give me hope for future..." and make me want to do great things for this world. As I continue praying, I feel like God will tell me what he has in store for me. :) I am so excited to see what he has planned up in this master plan of his. Patience....Patience LEAH. Lord, please keep mending me in the midst of this healing procelain heart. :)
