So I decided to switch to WordPress…I just like it better. So here we go…

Some days you just a chance to take a step back and look at your life. You see all of the issues and faults, but you see more of the beauty of it. I guess it partially depends on how you view your life. I view mine in utter amazement…how did I ever deserve the privilege to be so blessed? Maybe there’s something about relaxing in a comfy chair on a Saturday night, listening to Keith Urban and having nothing to do, but life is good.

This past week was stressful. I had 4 tests in 3 days, 2 of which I didn’t know I had until this week. It was crazy, but God proved faithful in getting me through it. I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to let school stress me out too much. If God can save my soul from eternal death, then He can help me get through school and any trouble it can bring up. I’m not saying that He will enable me to pass every test I ever have (well…He may..and I wouldn’t be opposed to that), and I’m definitely not saying that I’m never going to study again. I’m just saying that I’ve decided that school is too stupid for me to get stressed about. It’s just not worth it to me. I’m very anxious to be out of school, but 5.5 semesters to go…

I love my job. Oak Leaf is such a great place to be and getting to work there has been awesome so far! It could really be a 40 hour/week job as there’s so much to do, but I do as much as I can. This is what I want to do with my life (at this point in time) and what a great place to be at! I’m still getting to know a lot of the students, but the one’s that I’ve met recently are awesome and I can’t wait to get to know them better! We’re working on some big things coming later this year and into next year…I just can’t wait to see where God takes all of this. He’s already doing great things…I’m just glad to be along for the ride.

So today I found out that one of my best friends is engaged. Ty’s the first of my close friends to get engaged and it’s a different feeling for me. I didn’t expect to be so excited, but I am really excited for them. I guess I just didn’t think about how much it would impact and excite me. I sound like a girl, but it’s so cool to see a couple get together and grow closer to each other, fall in love and eventually get married. I love Megan and Ty and I don’t think there are many other cuter couples so it’s exciting all around. It’ll make me feel old that I’ll have a married guy in my band, but we’ll actually have a real band wife then. And maybe we can have slumber parties at their house…and Megan can cook us dinner! Yes…this is going to be good.

Now to finish watching some college football…
