WOW! How long has it been since I posted? Over a month! Sorry! I know you all checked blogger daily to see if I had posted anything and were disappointed. I am deeply sorry :) Anyways I just wanted to update you on some things that were going on in my life. So here we go.
#1) Winter Dance was February 12th. I was in charge and so that took up a lot of time. The theme this year was Under the Deep Blue Sea. I love planning things and the stress of making sure everything is how I want it is awesome. I love the day before running around like a chicken with my head cut off making sure everything is happening how it should. There is no sarcasm here believe me! I really do enjoy it. Anyways, everything came out perfectly except the back wall which looked like somebody (not naming names here) pooped on it :)
#2) School. It is sucking the life out of me. I seriously believe that the second semester of senior year is pointless. Somedays I have three classes. That's it. Three. What is the point of even going to school on those days. It stinks. I know I need to have a good attitude about it and everything but I hate it.
#3) Reading through the Bible in a year = FAIL!! Yeah I am on day like 21 maybe and its March already. I decided that even if I don't get it done in a year at least one day I will get all the Bible read. Maybe by the time I am a senior in college it will be done! Anyways I have always struggled with "taking notes" while I read the Bible. In my individualized reading class I just find quotes and respond to them so that is what I am doing with my devotions. I am finding references that strike me, writing them down and then responding to them. This has helped me a great deal and I can look back and see what verses were encouraging and stuff.
#4) Eighth grade girls. I love them so much. They stress me out with their questions that I can't answer, but they also make me stronger. They drive me crazy sometimes and we have to sit down and talk about things ( I really hate being an "authority"). Then they surprise me with opening up and being vulnerable with me. These girls have challenged me in ways I didn't think were possible. They have stretched me to my last nerve and then drawn me back in with a hug. I love them and I don't think they know how much they have made me grow over the last three years. I cannot believe it has only been three years. I am going to miss them so much next year. I have tears in my eyes already just thinking about it.
Things to pray for:
~My prayer life sucks right now. I don't talk to God hardly enough and when I do it is because I am struggling with something. ( you could also keep me accountable with this one)
~ God would provide money for college. I am in the process of FAFSA (actually my dad is) and filling out scholarship after scholarship. I obviously do not have a trust fund that is going to pay for my education, I really need money and I know God will provide.
~To trust God enough to know it doesn't matter what is coming. I need to let God have control of my whole life. I am a control freak. I will admit to that but I need to loosen my grip on it.
Thank you so much for reading a keeping me in your prayers :) If there is anything I can pray for you leave a comment and I will!
