Going Home

I've decided to go home this weekend. College is just getting stressful and dealing with people is too. I love everyone, just need a break. Plus, it will be good to see my Grandpa and everyone else and start getting stuff ready for Daytona. So no updates for the weekend. More on Monday!

A Huge Entry

I'm very confused as of now for several reasons. First of all, my Grandpa has cancer and has surgery tomorrow morning. I guess I knew it was always a possiblility from all of the chemicals that were used in the war, but it still sucks. There are tons of people lifting him up to God in prayer.... so I know that God's will will shine through, but I feel bad, because, for my own selfish reasons, I want my grandfather to know my children...and yet that's going to be so far down the road. I know that I need to trust that God will do the right thing, but it is still very hard.
Second of all, my art project is going through a setback called.... "the beads won't stay on the snake" Unless you've seen my project that won't make any sense to you, but it's frustrating. Oh well..time for artistic engenuity. (yeah..that's probably spelled wrong)
Third, I feel that certain friends of mine...who I thought really like me and considered me a good friend have stopped confiding in me and have stopped wanting to hang out with me. I'm not sure if I just make a bad friend or if it is because i'm "No fun" because I don't want to drink. I really don't know. I'm trying to hang out with Darren less...but when the girls won't hang out with me ... and I hate being alone...it's hard not to. I dunno what to do. If your reading this if you could pray for God to show me the way and comfort my heart.
Speaking of God, He is still being faithful and bringing in much needed support for my Daytona trip. I still have quite a bit more to raise and time is running low...but I know God will be faithful beyond my belief. Amen to that!
I have been pretty productive lately...especially yesterday. Not so much today, but definitly yesterday so I deserve a break right?
Tomorrow Mom is coming up in the AM. So I need to wake up early. I still have to figure out a class to take next semester because I schedule tomorrow. So tomorrow will be a busy day, but fun at the same time. It will be good having family up here... I need family right now. I'm going to miss them while I'm gone all summer... wow... but I know GOD will build "new" family-like relationships through the people at Daytona.
Also...exciting news! Heather and I are going to try our best to have a "Chicks day' this weekend and go see "The Prince and Me" together... I'm really looking forward to that!
Well I should go try to figure out that class. God Bless

I am convinced that I will make tonight a productive night. I am going to work on my English and Art Homework! Now if only I could stop procrastination. I also have to return videos tonight. Oh boy. Anyways. I suppose I should go. I opened this planning to write a lot, but I need to get going while I feel the slightest bit of motivation! Later Gators!

I'm trying to get my dad to come up and visit me... we'll see how that works out. Today has been a pretty good day. Art class was fun because I got to play with clay and plaster. I'm going to work on my snake now for my installation project. I just had my quiet time and I just want to say that it is amazing that God can speak to people in so many different ways. I also have to say that God has been faithful and true. Michelle told me today that many more support checks have come in... God Bless people who have given to my ministry! I'm amazed and in awe. God is so faithful and true. I am so excited for Daytona Beach...now I just have to book my flight!

I can't believe that I forgot to type in here my bestest news! I got a CA position! How cool is that. I get my own room in Hansen next year! I'm psyched.
I also am very excited that Daytona Beach is coming up so quickly! I can't believe it...and I'm so excited. Well I have to get some cleaning done...hopefully before Becky gets here for D-Time. Laters!

Well well...there are actually people who read this! I got a comment yelling at me to update this... now who could that be? Anyway... On to the last stretch of school. I just took a test in Art 283 and I think it went okay.... not spectacular...but okay. My support is still trickling in... God is truely using people in amazing ways. I just hope and pray that the rest comes in.
Speaking of money, the bank still hasn't refunded my 400 dollar theft situation, so that has me a little tense.... prayers welcome!
Well I'm off to do some philosophy then a walmart trip! GOD BLESS!

God is so amazing. I just finished reading Chapter 8 of Faith Is Not A Feelingand I'm just amazed. God provides in so many awesome ways, even when we have no fathomable way of knowing that He can. Amen to that~
Today was another beautiful day! I've been able to talk to a lot of people through AOL IM that I am going to Daytona Beach with (in 47 days). They all seem so incredible nice and just as excited as I am. This summer is going to be unbelievable. I'm really praying for the rest of my support to come in. I have raised about $1600 already, but there is still much more to go. However, I know that God will provide and be faithful. Just like God provided for Ney in her times of disbelief in the book, He will provide for all those who trust in Him.
I've been pretty productive today! I super cleaned my room and packed up my winter clothes. My room seems much more spacious now that I have a open closet now! I even did all of my laundry, including the sheets! WOW!
Now, unfortunalty, it is time to do homework and such until Bible Study. Also it's Darren's Birthday today... so Happy 21st Birthday hun if your reading this!!

Support Raising seems to be going great! I have many responses from people who say they will support me! God works through the most unexpectable people though!
Today I am going in to work to help a girl out who just needs a break.... My biggest debate is whether to walk there or drive...but I'm leaning towards the walking concept! YEAH!!! hehe.
Well leave me a comment! Love ya All!

Well. Today is another beautiful day, the sun is shining the wind has ceased and I WENT DOWNHILL SKIING! now I know that sounds hard to believe, but it was wonderful for my first time out! Jen (the girl I went with) even took pictures so I have proof! She was so much fun to hang out with!
Today I have CA group processing. I'm pretty nervous, but I just gotta be the great person God made me. I could use some prayers on inner strength right now so if anyone is prayin to the Jesus mention me please!=). Well gots to go write some support letters, shower and then off to group process! Laters!
