What To Do?

Another day at LU....always busy, but I love the time in between activities where I can take a nap like I did today. :) In a little bit I am going over to go through this walk through that the school set up to raise awareness for Eating Disorders. It also counts a psych credit, so not to shabby... After that I think I will go get some supper then tonight I have a psych project to work on. I am not sure if I am going to campus church tonight or not, depends on what time I get my project done.

I am going home this weekend! That will be nice :)

Finally beautiful weather

O my word FINALLY we have some nice weather here. We have the windows here open, its so nice out! 

Thursday I went home and surprised my sister and mom :) It was so nice, I wish I could have stayed longer. I love being at home. I came back Saturday, and its CFAW weekend here so all the highschoolers were here. I knew alot of them who came and stayed on our hall. Ellie, Camille, Caroline, Autumn and Hope were here and I had so much fun with them. Yesterday night Autumn, Hope and I headed up to the Snowflex and were later joined by Ellie, Camille, and Rob and later Michael and Katie.  Today Ellie, Camille and I went to church and then after went out to eat. 

Right now I am studying Biology, I have a test wednesday and I have a feeling its going to be pretty hard.  I don't have too much due this week which is good. I am not sure what I am going to be doing, but at this point I don't really care :)

This lady sang this song in Church this morning, and someone sang it in convo a week or so ago. I loved the words:

I stand accused: there’s a list a mile long of all my sins,
of everything that I’ve done wrong.
 I’m so ashamed; there’s nowhere left for me to hide. 
This is the day I must answer for my life. 
My fate is in the Judge’s hands, but then He turns to me and says, 

“I know you, I love you.  I gave my life to save you.
Love paid the price for mercy.  My verdict: not guilty.” 

How can it be?  I can’t begin to comprehend
what kind of grace would take the place for all my sin.
 I stand in awe now that I have been set free. 
And the tears well up as I look at that cross, ‘cause it should have been me.
My fate was in the nail-scarred hands.  He stretched the out for me and said,

“I know you, I love you.  I gave my life to save you.
Love paid the price for mercy.  My verdict: not guilty.” 

I’m falling on my knees to thank You.
With everything I am, I praise You;
So grateful for the words I heard You say:

“I know you, I love you.  I gave my life! 
I know you, I love you.  I gave my life to save you.
Love paid the price for mercy.  My verdict: not guilty.
Love paid the price for mercy.  My verdict: not guilty.  Not guilty.”

To bed

Heading to bed.

God is amazing and faithful. He pulls us through when everything breaks and shatters like glass.

O yes

 

When my alarm went off this morning the first thing that went through my head was that no force in heaven or hell could get my body out of that bed. I didn’t get to sleep till 3 last night. But after I laid there for about 5 minutes I then debated whether or not I wanted to jump off my bunkbed or climb down the ladder. Climbing down is a pain because I have to step on my desk and then jump. Jumping is fun, because you think when you land its going to hurt but it never does. But Bre was sleeping on the bed underneath and I didn’t want to wake her. So instead I kinda climbed and half jumped off my bunk. Which resulted in me landing and hurting my leg. I suck hahaha. I went to convo and then took a bus back to my dorm (its way to cold to walk) I have spend the rest of my time doing NOTHING and it feels wonderful. I have some homework I could do but I will do it tomorrow :) Its so nice just to get some time alone and some time to think. For those of you who are at home I will probably be coming home not this weekend or the next (CFAW) but the weekend after that. I can’t wait to see everyone! I miss you guys so much.  Right now I am indulging in some pepperoni lunchables and some grapefruit juice. I know, its so appetizing isn’t it? Tonight our hall is dressing up and going out to eat and coming back to watch a movie. I am not sure if I am going out to eat because I do not really have the money but I know I will definitely watch the movie afterwards. :D

Food

 

Food :D I love it. I think a little too much. Its pretty much all I think about. Its my one true love. Okay not really. I know, I am loosing my mind. Actually I think I already have. :D

Yes yes

So I wrote a post yesterday while I was sitting doing a survey for one of my classes but I dont feel like digging it out of my backpack so I will write it tomorrow. Today was busy. Classes and group projects. I got to miss my first class because of a two hour delay this morning :D ooooosnap :) Tomorrow there is one to but any class that was in the morning was pushed to after convo and so all the other classes were pushed to. so after convo i am going to come back sleep :D i am so happy. My class doesn't start till 1:45 so that will be nice.

I am so tired of the cold and snow, I am really ready for spring. I feel miserable in the cold and I always have to bundle up and put my jacket on and off and I get all staticy....uggg.....wow I never stop complaining do I?

Peace

I love how everytime after I talk to God I just get a peaceful feeling. I know our faith shouldn't be based on feelings, but I just know that I have a peace and that NO MATTER what happens  in my life, I am a child of God and everything will be taken care of. Things like a psych test on the line of eternity do not matter. Illnesses, people dying, lies, dreams, everything....it will be taken care of and God will not let us down. I just have this peace that no matter what happens that everything will end up good. Even if I die I know that I will wake to be in His arms. God has a plan for me and in the end I know the ending is beautiful.

My day was pretty good today. I came back to school but had to leave poor Sebby at home because the roads were kinda bad. I came back and had a meeting on our hall with all the leaders. Then I spent the majority of my night at the snowflex watching the superbowl with a group of my friends. It was very nice and overall relaxing. I came back and showered and now I am just hanging out and taking it easy. I am really trying to keep a relaxed, happy attitude while I am here. I am trying not to get stressed about my school or anything because it really causes me to get depressed and my hair even starts to fall out if I get really stressed. I am asking the Lord to give me his undying strength to get me through this semester. I love it here though. Being surrounded by such loving friends and people who honestly care about you. There is always someone here who lifts you up when you need it. I am so thankful for my SLD Jillian who is my accountability, who challenges me and just gives me the best advice and comfort., I am so glad the Lord brought her into my life. I am also very thankful for my other SLD Amanda and my two RA's Hilary and Amy. The Lord has a special relationship with every one of them and I pray that I can be a leader like all of them are in the future.

Well its time for bed. Goodnight all :)

Breathtaking

I just looked out the window and the snow looks so beautiful at night....this couldn't just come from nothing...there has to be a Creator. I mean, I know there is. But others don't....but seeing this...is proof enough for me.

The eventful snowday

Its so nice not being able to have to get up and go to class on the weekends. :) I slept in till 11:30 today and then got up and got dressed and all that jazz. I sang Lips with my family for a while and ate some of the cake I made for my mom yesterday. After that my mom and sister and I got all bundled up and went out in the snow. I look like a huge purple grape. I had regular socks on and my moms fuzzy white and green socks. On top of that I put on my black and white rain boots because the snow was so deep. I had on a pair of jeans and my awesomely cool christmas tree pajama bottoms. Then I put on my moms GBC sweatshirt and her large purple jacket. I had one of those headband ear warmer thingys and my hood up. I look ridiculous. When we were out there I tried and save Sebby (my car) but she is so covered with snow its really sad and the attempt was pathetic. My sister went inside for a moment and when she came out my mom and I attacked her with snowballs, which then resulted in a snowball fight in which Lauren and I teamed up against my poor helpless mom and creamed her with snowballs :D We then went for a walk around our neighborhood, which was nice. We all have been hanging out for the rest of the day, I have been doing my math homework for a while and just finished. Everyone else has been watching tv, playing xbox, on the computer, or hanging out with Lee (hahah okay, just my sister). I have to go back to school tomorrow which I am not happy about AT ALL. I love school its just going to be a royal pain to drive there. I have to be back by 3 tomorrow for a meeting so I will probably leave at 1ish. :( I hope the roads are okay.....I do NOT want to go to classes Monday. We get hit up here with snow and ice so much worse then we do down in the burg. Not far :D

Math

Doing my math homework and not wanting to go back to school tomorrow...who wants to drive in this???? ummm NOT ME :D

Being lazy somemore

I feel so lazy. Its so nice though. I have been on facebook all day and I made my mom  a cake, so I feel like this day is someone eventful. Right now we are skyping Marcel who left us to go back to Germany :( Its so sad! We miss him so much. The snow is still falling. Its beautiful out.

Snow Day!

Wow so the weeks at school have been insane. Never ever time to just relax and breathe! We have had alot of snow, and this weekend we were told we could get TONS! So yesterday as soon as I found out my classes were canceled today I packed up my bags and drove home. Its been snowing since this morning, its so pretty out! Its so nice just to get away from everything. I love school, but its been extremely stressful.

I got to serve on Jury Duty this past week! It was actually very interesting and I got to miss school for a day, so that is always nice. I can't believe I got picked, I didn't think they would pick me once I got there. Ask me about it sometime and I will tell you about the case.

The snow is so pretty to look at but a pain in the butt to drive in. Hopefully the roads will be clear when I drive back on Sunday or Monday.
