It's been a long time...

since I last posted. I am at home in MT now for a week which should be really nice. I am looking forward to the time to relax and just not be stressed about school for the moment. I do have some homework to work on and process but not much. My dad is having surgery on the 31st so it will be good to be home for that as well. I don't really want to go back to school right away after that but I suppose that I have to and don't really have a choice. We just had midterms at school so the semester is half over which is wonderful but it is also scary... the last part of Spring Semester seems to go way faster than any other time of the year and I have papers and projects and presentations to do for school and I have graduation plans to make! So much to do and I know it will end up being stressful decision making too! But I am glad that I am almost finished with school and am so happy that I will be home for Student Teaching next fall!

He spoke right to me...

I was in church yesterday and the pastor was praying and he said that someone needed to hear that Jesus loved them. Than he said something along the lines of you may have recieved some bad news but remember that Jesus loves you. I swear he was looking right at me.

Now this week I recieved some of the worst news in my life so this was really touching to me. I don't really want to write about what that news is here but would ask for your prayers. I'm going through something scary but I think it is going to be okay. I'll let you know!

Prayer

" Lord, I don't know who he is. I don't know where he is or whether I've even met him. But I ask You to bless him and to protect him. I ask You to take care of him, provide for him, and keep him pure. Thank You Lord. Amen"

I don't know where this came from but think it is great.

Bummed

I am really bummed about something... I was chosen by some education faculty to be a mentor in the peer mentor program this spring. I was told tonight that I will not be an active member in the program at this moment because there are not enough mentees to go around. This really sucks because this is my last chance to participate in the program. It's not like I have another year in the education program. I'm finished... there is no more time. That's my disappointment of the day. Sorry to be so down.

Good things did happen today... like I know how I am getting all of my stupid credits done now! It's all covered and planned out. Yea... a little bit of stress is gone.

I've Decided In My "Old" Age That Roundup Is...

Not So Bad!

Okay so I was reading Tim's blog and heard the news that they (Tim and Nicole) are moving to MN, possibly. There was a comment from Becca saying that there move could be worse... moving to Roundup. Now I'm not "dissing" Becca's comment but I have recently decided that Roundup is not such a bad place. It is a place that seems to grow on me as I grow up. I love our church and all of the people in it. They are so warm and loving and I love going home to see them. They care about me and what I am doing with my life.

I love my family... they have grown on me too!

I love the school system... for the most part.

Its not such a long drive to go to Billings plus that gives you an excuse to get out of town. Living in a big city I never get out of town because everything I need is here. Which is not such a bad thing but it is nice to leave once in awhile. Maybe I will feel differently about Roundup when I live there again but I think that things are looking up for the town. I am so excited about the Youth Center that they are working on! Keep it in your prayers... I believe that God is going to do awesome things with it and I can't wait to see what they are!
