and yet i have time to blog =)

these days.
when i'm so busy that i feel like i don't have time to even sit down and think.
make me so very thankful for long walks back from class!

"so i cast all of my cares upon You.
I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet.
and anytime I don't know what to do,
I will cast all of my cares upon You."

i'm thankful for good friends, family, upcoming breaks, growing pains, and Jesus:that He's there and makes it worth it.
that came out soudning cheesy. but i'm worn out and it's so very true. =D

"oh how i long for that day"

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

"give me one glorious ambition for my life...to know and follow hard after You"

just wanted to let you know my interview went well today; it was encouraging to talk to the director about different things. i'll found out after spring break who made the group. it was really nice to talk to him though and hear about the team...i'd be really excited to make the team this year or even next year. i really hope that's where God's taking me. so thanks for praying and please keep praying that God will give wisdom in the decision making and that his will will be done.

i have a question. and i've been wondering about it for a couple weeks now i guess. but if you have wisdom and insight to share on it, i'd love to hear. i want to know why it's okay for me as a christian to buy two pairs of shoes when there are people starving and people who haven't heard about jesus and it is possible for me to live with just one pair. there's more to the question than that, but that's kinda the simplest way to put it i guess. i wonder. and it confuses me. any thoughts?

hope you're enjoying the beautiful weather! happy monday!

so i love ludlow falls...

i pulled out the camp applications to fill out tonight....looks like thats how i'm going to spend my summer! it's exciting! i'm having a hard time being motivated to apply right now though, because i want to be at my kids kamp. i really want to be there. but the good news is that i should be at family camp. so i don't really have anything to be upset about =). and maybe i'll even get to be at kids kamp too...who knows =). my mom talked to me about it today though...so i'm going to apply. should be much fun...i've wanted to do this forever!
tomorrow i'm interviewing for a spot on the Discipleship Counsel next year. if i get it i will be leading a group of the girls who lead bible studies on campus. if i don't make it i'm planning to be one of the leaders who are being led under a DC member again. either way would be wonderful! please pray that God's will will be done there tomorrow and as our Ministry leader makes choices =D.
i got to do cedarmania this weekend, and go to a surprise bridal shower for my DC leader from this year, and celebrate for bethanys bday, and go to Sunday School with Miss Judy and the boys, and go sledding (even though i only went down once ;D). twas much fun, but i'm sleepy still....time to head towards bedishness.

some of my very favorite people when we went out for bethany's bday supper =)

sophomore year hospital run #3

jen got very sick and very dehydrated last night.
we talked to my RA and then i called campus safety and then the ER then 911 and they came and took her in the ambulance around 2:00AM.
they even let me ride along which was very nice especially cuz it was really snowy and we couldnt take student cars out.
they got her on some IV and drugs and then released her, so the two of us got home around 5:00 this morning...
it's an interesting story, and i'll tell you about it sometime if you ask =).
but she's feeling much much better today! hooray!
and i had gotten a lot of sleep the night before but i was exhausted that afternoon and didn't know why so i had napped for almost two hours which was great cuz then i had plenty of energy to have a good old fashioned allnighter with jen at the hospital haha. God knew that i needed sleep even when i didnt.

i have a sleep addiction i think. i want more all the time.
