Back by popular demand...

Ha...ok not really popular demand but nonetheless, I'm back baby! I've felt so busy lastely and by the end of the day when had some time to blog I either didn't feel like it or just went to bed. Where do I start? I'm officially a college student again!! Can you believe it? I've paid for my classes, bought 3 of my books and got my student ID. I'm giddy with excitement and that's just strange. Crud, does this mean I'm going to be a nerd? In all honesty, I hope so. I have a desire to learn and move forward with my life. I'm striving for all A's...and that A does NOT stand for absent this time. :)

With the bible study we've been doing, "no other gods," God has shown me what I've been putting before him and how I've not been trying to see things through His eyes. That's my prayer now, that He will give me His eyes so I can see things with more understanding and love. Compassion for others has increased as has conviction of my poor attitude with people who get on my nerves. Be careful what you as for! My patience for others has even increased some so that's a plus! I'm trying to enjoy life and making a choice to do so every day and be thankful. God has me in the place for a reason and I'm choosing to be happy about it, no matter what place everyone around me is in. It's really neat to stop and look around and see how God has been weaving the parts of our lives and how it all clicks. He really does care about our day-to-day.

Disney World countdown...34 days!!!! I am so looking forward to that trip with my awesome family. It will be entertaining to say the least.

Until next time...

Will you pack me in your suitcase? I'll be quiet...but ....I don't know-I might be one of those people getting on your nerves, LOL.
You go girl!!! I see you following in Ken Richmond's footsteps and making the dean's list everytime. You'll raise that GPA in no time.
love you,

Terri, you know they make you pay for checked baggage these days, and we are cheep so we only paid for one! So, if you think you can fit in a back pack, come on! :)

Jenny, I am so proud of you and know for sure that God has great plans for you! Even if it does mean being a nerd for awhile. :)

Jenny!

I just love you, girl. I remember thinking to myself during your prayer request at bible study the other night, that you have this great big, wide, deep heart. It was very easy to see that you hurt when others hurt. You've cried with me before, and I know you've stood by others in their times of hurt and grief as well.

I'm so glad the study has been meaningful to you. Remember, when conviction is there, condemnation is not!!

You make me proud!!

Jenny,
You are such a great person! I love getting to know you better. I can totally relate to the whole changing the A's from 'absent' to and actual 'A'!! I've been there and believe me, when you are excited about going back to school it is so much more fun!
Disney sounds like a great time - maybe next year... (Sigh)..
