Completed Application
I actually submitted my STINT application. This is actually making me a little emotional. It means my future is in the hands of the Lord leading a few people. This is something I really want to do. It is also something completely different that what I have been doing. Wow, I can't believe it is done!! And I even had 1 day spare!!
A lot of nothing
Is it possible that doing too much of too little can be a strenuous activity? I haven't done hardly anything and my legs and tushy are sore. I find that odd.
Couch Potato
That is what I have been, and I don't feel bad about it!!! I got crocheting done!! Finished my pink scarf-- very pretty. I "no sewed" a blanket, and it is nice and warm. It is the type made of 2 different fleece materials and then tied together. I'm happy with it.
The question now is......to keep this nothing up or try to accomplish something????
Oh so ready for the weekend!
Let me tell you, this week has been insane. I am so glad it is Friday and I have no more classes. All I have today is a full day of work. I have no idea what I am doing tonight, but would be quite content just sitting on my couch crocheting. Hopefully work won't be too bad.
OYE......that's all I have to say
So Long my Friend
I am enjoying the last sips of my last mocha for a while. A sad farewell as my--peppermint, mocha with soy milk and no whip cream comes to an end. It really is my favorite. I love those things. TTFN (wiping tears from my eyes as I conclude this).
Fat Tuesday Dinner
What a yummy dinner I had tonight. I had a chunky monkey ice cream Sunday. I figured why not. I will not be able to have sweets (including Mochas) for 40 days, so I might as well go out with a bang, it being Fat Tuesday and all. Now the test comes. I want this to be a time when I really do grow closer to the Lord. When I want something sweet I will go to Him and He will fulfill all my longings.
Cheese with my Wine
I just need a wining (as in complaining) session. I went to my class today at 2:30 and looked at my calendar to realize that I had an exam in 3 hours. I didn't even have my book with me. I had put that class out of my mind, we didn't have class the week before and I missed 2 classes before that. Not good news.
Now I have a test on Tuesday, and hour facilitation of a lesson plan on Wednesday and a HUGE mid-term paper and homework due on Thursday.
I just need to kick my bum into gear. Get going!!!!!!!!!! Yet here I am on my computer.
Foot in the Mouth
Have you ever been trying to make things better and you make them worse? That has been me lately. Twice this week (probably more than that, but 2 I know of) alone I have put my foot in my mouth. I really upset people. I hate hurting people's feelings. Prayers for my sorority would be helpful.
Heart Issues
Why are issues with boys so complicated? Why do girls make such a big deal out of something that isn't a big deal. Why is the heart so sensitive?? Just something that is running through my head (and heart).
Is it a bit of s sign that I had just talked about how I wasn't going to do anything about a certain guy and then the next day I run into him somewhere. I hadn't seen him in a long time. Okay enough lamenting for one day.
Long Weekend
So would it be a real long weekend if I didn't put everything off until the last day? Other than making 3 scarves I haven't accomplished anything. So tomorrow I have a very long list of things to get done. That probably means I should get to sleep at more decent of an hour than the last couple of nights (3 and 4 am prospectively) I think I am insane and need to have my head examined.
I made a really cool long and skinny scarf that is made of a white and violet variegated yarn, I like it a lot. I also made one with a double crochet stitch. I like that stitch, it is twice as tall so it goes twice as fast. I now have a hooded afghan blanket to make and maybe another baby blanket. I figure it will soon be too late to give out scarves and need to make something different.
Single Awareness Day
So is it Valentines Day or single awareness day for those of us that are just that???
I actually had a really good day. Relaxed in the morning and bought some more crafty things. Yarn and fleece to make a blanket. I think went to a percussion concert. That was neato. I then got coffee and talked into the wee hours of the morning. It was a good day.
The Real Valentine
I think 1 John 4 is the real valentine, the whole chapter here are the highlights:
Dear friends, let us love one another for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God...God is love
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrafice for our sins.
Have a happy Valentines day knowing that we get to share love because of God's great love for us.
Nostalgia
I was getting a little bit nostalgic tonight. Thinking about some of the last things I will be doing. Then I started thinking about this last year and a half. It has been so amazing. There have been highs and there have been lows, but I would definitely say I have grown through it all. It has been amazing. I now know that I came to Fresno for a purpose. I remember a little over a year ago how afraid I was for what was going to be happening, now I can't believe how fast the time has gone.
Bible Study
Tonight I also started a new Bible study. Things went well. It was a small group due to people having some conflicts this week, but I think it will be good. We will be going through an Elizabeth George book. I am looking forward to it. We had a good time and shared our testimonies.
Goals
I have to get some things done this weekend. I would say my number one priority is my STINT application. I keep putting it off. There are some really tough questions on it. I just need to take the time to do it. I also have a bunch of school work to get done, oh joy!! I am so glad to have Monday off, it will be refreshing and I get to have dinner with a friend I don't see very often.
As well as spending too much time online, I have also been staying up way too late. Why do I do this to myself???
This weekend should be good, I just need to be productive. Friday night is another Rush event, Bunco/game night with the possibility of a scary movie since it is Friday the 13th. It will just be a good time to hang out with the girls, something that I am looking forward to.
Saturday I am going to look for pink hawaiiaan fabric to have put on a sweat shirt for a friend and maybe find something I like for myself. We are also going to go have the art work looked at for National Convention. I will have to mention that later, but I can't wait for convention, 150 ADX girls invade Fresno, watch out!!! :)
ok, ok nighty night
spending too much time online
I have been spending too much time online. This is making it so I do not get the homework done that I need to. I don't want to do anything about it. I am still online and have questions to asnwer at the end of a chapter and more stuff.
yada yada
Bad attitude goes good
I started out my week being in a bit of a sour mood. I have a lot going on this week and didn't want to face it all. I have rush MWF and am starting a new Bible Study on Thursday. I also came home from the Chrysalis VERY tired. So Monday morning I didn't want everything to happen, so I had a negative mood about it. Then I got a phone call from a girl interested in the sorority. That changed my mood. That is what it is all about, the sorority is really an awesome ministry. Bringing believers together.
It hasn't been that bad of a week. Info night on Monday went well, I actually did a little bit of homework on Tuesday night.
Tonight was really good. It was the Rush Bible Study. No rushees were able to make it tonight, they all had work or class or homework. I had been working on a devo on Unity. It was something I had come across that I thought would benefit the sorority. I was a little iffy about using it with rushees, but it had been on my heart. Then no rushees were able to make it. The actives just really had a great conversation and time getting into the word. We really went over some of the aspects of unity. Girls really opened up and it was so good. God is so good!!!!!!!
Now I have to prepare for tomorrow nights Bible Study.
Night Night
A week of late nights send me to bed early tonight. Is it a sad thing that 10:30 is early for me??
The Chrysalis is this weekend. Prayer for the girls involved.
Biblical Insight of the Day (or nights as it is)
From Hebrews 12:11 No Discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
I found this interesting- There is a real as well as linguistic connection between "discipline" and "disciple" and "discipleship". Just an oh wow moment.
Update on the Toe
I guess I get to keep it. In VERY broken english the Dr told me it is better to keep is and deal with it then to remove it, but I am free to get a second opinion I guess I get to deal with it for a while longer.
