| Hi everyone! I have AMAZING news! I"M ENGAGED! Rob proposed while we were in Oklahoma over spring break. He took me out in a paddle boat one morning and did it while we were out on the pond. I am soooo excited. We've set a sentative date: labor day weekend (September 1st). So now I'm busy, busy with wedding plans. There is so much to do. And I still can't believe that after the wedding I get to live with him and have a home with him!  !! | | |
| Hi everyone. Suprise, suprise, I'm back on Xanga...at least for now. There have been a ton of changes in my life lately and as I read all ouf your blogs, I see that your lives are changing as well. People leaving Liberty, people getting engaged....whew! I think that's good. Life isn't supposed to stay the same. Things change and we change too as we go through all these crazy, sometimes amazing sometimes horrifying experiences. I, too, am not at Liberty this semester. Just needed to get away...get a job...make some money and get on my own two feet a little bit. I was worn out from taking classes that I wasn't sure were taking me where I wanted to be going so I stopped. Now, I'm job hunting. I need a full time job with health benefits b/c once I'm technically not in school anymore, I won't have health insurance through my parents anymore. I've applied for some jobs at Centra Health. They actually sound pretty interesting and fun. I also applied at J. Crew. I have an interview there the week after spring break. I'm living in a house over near the old Thomas Rd.I likle it here. there are a few other girls that live in the house which occasionally leads to drama but I suppose that's to be expected in a house full of girls. Mostly everyone is really cool. I'm dating a guy, Rob, we've been dating for almost 6 monthes. He's great. He's been wonderful during this whole transition out of school. I'm so thankful for him. He's a Psychology Major, Business Minor. I learn so much from him everyday. Rob and I are going to Oklahoma for spring break to visit his family. It's a long drive but I'm looking forward to seeing them and to getting away from here for a little bit. Well, I think that's everything. I have to take a shower, touch up my resume, and go drop it off at some place that's hiring up the Rd. Busy, Busy! Yep, things sure are changing.... | | |
| hi everyone...i'm home after a
13 hour car ride that was supposed to take 8 and a half hours.
bad weather, got a little lost, made a bunch of stops...and added 4 1/2
hours to my trip. It wasn't bad though. I actually kind of
enjoyed it. Mary Beth was with me for the first 4 or 5 hours so I
had some company. It was sad driving home though and leaving all
my friends for the summer. Except for MB and Ashley who I'll see
in two weeks from yesterday. I miss everyone. I miss
Liberty. Home is tons different...which isn't completely bad but
it frustrates me. At Liberty we kind of get used to everyone
believing what we do and having faith like we do...so coming home and
having people dissapprove is tough. To some degree, I'm sad for
them, that they aren't able to live a life filled with faith and hope,
but sometime I just want to shake them and tell them THERE'S SO MUCH
MORE to life than what they think it is!
For those of you who don't know, I'm going on a mission trip this
summer. I found out a couple days ago that I'm going to
Romania. That's exciting. It's going to be a really amazing
trip. I know that so many lives are going to be changed--the
leaders', the high school students', the people we minister to...
I really am looking forward to it and it's only a month and a half
away. however, fundraising isn't going so well. 
I've got some support letters out there and will send some more out
probably Tuesday...I'm going to have a yard sale...and tomorrow I have
to go talk to McDonalds about getting a job there. But so far my
funds are pretty low and I need half of them ($1300) by June 1st.
I'd really appreciate any prayers. 
Well I am really tired so I'm gonna get going. I have lots to do
tomorrow. To all my Liberty friends: I miss you! I hope you
all got home safe. And keep in touch!
Goodnight.

| Ahh! I have soo much to get done. I have to do a ton of assignments by Monday for my Marriage and family class, I have to finish some assignments by Tuesday or Wednesday for Child Psych, I need to get my support letters out SOON for my mission trip this summer and then there all the meetings and dinners and everything that are going on--that I'm really looking forward to but, along with everything else, are making my head spin. Oh, and did I mention that I lost my planner that I usually write all this stuff down in? So this stuff is taking up extra room in my brain where I could be putting other things. (So if anyone reading this has seen a bag, embroidered with pictures of angels, with a notebook, Bible, and planner in it, could you let me know? I'm looking for it!)
I know that during this time God will keep me from going insane. He tells me he will sustain me, that he can and will give me peace. These are the promises that I have to lean on right now.
He is my motivation. He's the reason I can continue working so hard and keep going when there are so many things to do. I really don't understand how people who aren't Christians continue on, day after day because without God, I'd have no purpose. I remember back to before I was saved and I remember going through times of depression and I still experience feelings of depression sometimes even now. But now there's a difference because I don't have the feelings of hopelessness I used to. It's different with Jesus.
He's my sustainer, my peace, my motivation, my purpose, and my hope among many other things. And right now I need to go get some homework done for Him.
Wish me luck!
