Lovin' Life

Wow, I definitely got distracted from keeping this updated! I will try to do just one praise a day, but there are several things that I want to share today.

7. I got a job today - and I start on Monday.... well for orientation. I start training on Tuesday!

8. I have been at my aunt's house for about a week - and I have enjoyed being with my aunt, uncle and two cousins a lot.

9. We get our puppy on Friday or Saturday! However, we haven't decided on which one quite yet. We're stuck between a brown one and a black one - both girls. Guess we'll just have to play with them and decide that way.

The countdown begins...

.....school is over in TWO WEEKS!!!! (#3)

..... I get to see my new chihuahua puppy tonight! (#4)

...... life is great! (#5)

...... My roommate and suitemates for next year are awesome - I love them so much! (#6)


I have been too busy to write every single day... but I will do my best to keep this thing up. In the meantime, here are some pictures from unit devotions on Sunday.

Our RA gave each of us a thing of play-do so my roommate and I played around with it and made stuff. This is a lion that my roomie made - she's so talented. :-)

She made me a banjo! :-)

And here's the lion playing the banjo. Ha ha!

Jesus Paid it All, All to Him I Owe

This song (Jesus Paid it All) is one that we sing in Chapel quite often. I have to say.... this song gives me chills each time we sing it - and just when I'm on the verge of tears, we sing the bridge which says "Oh, Praise the Who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead" over and over again. It's so powerful! Sometimes when I am stressed out about homework or school/life in general, I just think about this song. Jesus did pay it all, and I owe everything to Him. If I turn everything over to Him, I know He will take care of it all.

Almost every night before bed I am on the verge of tears because I don't feel like I can do this (be a nursing major). I allow Satan to attack me and tell me that I am not smart enough - but you know what? I am smart enough! I just need to keep studying, keep praying, and keep trustin' in my God! And that, my friends, is positive thought (er, thoughts) #2.

Now, how about a few pictures???

This is what my Saturday consisted of...

And Tony's day? One word: Xbox. (SO jealous!)

This is Maggie and "Octy" the Octopus (This thing goes with her everywhere!)

A few pictures, along with a few thoughts...

This is Maggie and a McConn Nalgene Bottle. The coffee shop here on campus (McConn) was having a picture contest - each submitted photo had to have this McConn bottle in it. It's a lot of fun to see what people come up with. I didn't submit any photos, but I still had fun with it.

The Three Amigos (Nursing Majors!!) - Me, Alicia and Katie
I love these girls!

Anyway....

I am challenging myself to write something positive everyday for a month. I found this idea online and think it sounds awesome! Soooo, I will start with today's positive thought....

1. I am smart enough to make it through this semester. Yes, it has been tough but I have God right by my side and I know He will help me. Being a nursing major is some tough stuff.... but I want it so bad! I know this will all work out just fine.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you unsearchable things you do not know" - Jeremiah 3:3

Just some random photos...

Um, no comment. :-)

Amy, me, Alicia and Katie. We were being goofy, as you might be able to tell...

Amy, me, Katie and Kayla - this was taken the first weekend we got back from Christmas break. The girls decided to have a slumber party in the TV room. That was a fun night.

My boyfriend's mom bought this for me for Christmas - and I think it's the coolest thing ever. It's a banjo ornament, but I don't think I'll ever hang it on a tree.

Coming Soon

I decided to start a little blog to post photos, write about college life, etc.... hopefully some cool stuff will be coming soon.
