Life is so incredibly crazy it’s unbelieveable! First of all, I was the smart one who decided I could handle 19 credit hours!! Don’t ever do that..I don’t care who you are..it’s hard!! So I spend almost every free moment studying..which is what I am supposed to be doing now:) On top of that this week is recruitment! which I am so excited about!! I can’t wait to get new sisters!! but it’s a huge..HUGE..commitment of time and energy! so every waking moment starting Thursday that I am not in class I will be at recruitment..until Monday night!! Don’t except to see much of me again for awhile:)
On a different note, this year has been a lot tougher so far. I miss my family something awful..It’s hard being so far away. And I made a lot of changes in my spriritual walk this summer and Satan seems to be out to get me any way he can. Thankfully God has been good..and I have been able to make time for Him every day. My pastor this Sunday challenged us to spend the next fourty days listening to the Bible. So I have a cd of Matthew and have been listening to it. It is so amazing how much you can be impacted by listening. I can hear it replaying over and over in my head. I have also been reading a book called, “If you want to walk on water, you have to get out the boat.” or something like that..but it’s very convicting. I sit around all day and think about how much I want to make an impact with my life and change the people around me, but I think I am still sitting in my boat. I need to take that step of faith and keep my eyes on Christ. He is my strong tower and rock in the midst of life. I also found a church I love and a group of people who encourage me and keep me accountable!!
God is also constantly reminding me that He is enough..that I don’t need a boyfriend, or a bunch of friends, or a million things to fill up my time..He is enough. That is a daily lesson I am still learning.
sorry that was so scatterbrained..that’s kinda how my life is right now!! Hope things are going well for my few blog readers..I appreciate your kind words and encouragement!

This was a great post… especially the last part of not always needing things. We need to understand that we should be able to go without anything in life EXCEPT God. Well, you're an awesome blogger. Email me sometime, its in my profile… lata 'manda
