| It has been so stinkin' long since I updated this thing. I can't even believe where the time has gone. I'm right in the thick of Student Teaching. I'm enjoying it, but am stressed to the max. It's crazy how much work there is. I feel like it never stops. I'm also getting married in 95 days! Holy cow!! I can't believe it's that soon! That means graduation is 88 days away. It's scary how fast college has flown by. I can't believe I'm not going to have my roommate anymore. I'm not quite sure what I'll do without Leah. It's gonna be strange, but that's life. It brings changes, and we have to roll with it. Sorry it was short, but I've got to get to bed. Maybe I'll keep up with thsi thing a little more ofter...Maybe not. We'll see. | | |
| Trust His Heart
by Babbie Mason All things work for our good though sometimes we don't see how they could.
Struggles that break our hearts in two,
Sometimes blinded to the truth.
Our Father knows what's best for us.
His ways are not our own.
So when your pathway grows dim and you just don't see Him,
Remember you're never alone. God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don't understand,
When you don't know His plan,
When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart. He sees the master plan,
and He holds our future in His hand.
So don't live as those who have no hope,
For our hope is found in Him.
We see the present clearly,
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him. We sang this song in church last week, and it has been with me ever since. I know my plans for this summer, and that is it. I don't know what my senior year holds for me, and that scares me. I have a big decision to make about student teaching, and it still isn't completely clear to me. It's good to know that God has it all in His hands, because I have no clue what's going on. I don't know His plan, but I'm trying to trust His heart and plans. | | |
| Hey guys! My roommate is an amazing new artist, and she needs your help. Go to http://www. cornerstonefestival. com/content. cfm?pID=27 and vote for Leah Ashton. It's free to register. You get ten votes, and can only vote for a band once. Don't try to vote more than once for her or they take votes away. Help her out.
She's got amazing talent! | | |
| It's been so long since I updated this thing. So much has been going on in the past few months. I don't even know where to start. Wedding plans have been moving along quite nicely. We changed our reception hall from the Shiloh to the Fun Center. There are many more perks to having it there. I just ordered my dress a few weeks ago. I'm so excited to have that out of the way. The bridesmaids dresses are all picked out. We're not going to order them until October, but we know what we're getting. David and I stopped by Louis Tux Shop this past weekend to see what deals they had going on, and ended up getting registered there. They have a deal for free invitations, and I couldn't hardly pass that up. Those can get SO stinkin' expenseve. There were also other perks to going with them, but that was the big one. We'll be getting engagement pictures done in the next month, as long as weather is permitting. So plans are going quite well. My Romania trip is in three short months! I actually just realized how close it actually was. Holy cow! My heart is so excited to be going back. Continue to pray for the team and the people that we will come in contact with over there. God needs to be the center of this trip. I am excited to see what He has in store for us. Last night, Leah and I had a three way phone call with our old roomie Erica. It was very much needed. We got caught up on each others lives, and just chatted like old times. I sure do miss her. Pray for her as well. She's in the process of having her orphanage built in Africa. She'll be heading over in a few weeks to check on the progress. The ribbon cutting ceremony is supposed to be in December. Pray for safe travels for her, and that everything is right on track. Everything else is pretty much the same. Work and school. Spring Break is over. Now it's the sprint to the end. It's hard to believe this year is almost over. I'm definitely ready for warm weather, though. | | |
| I have been waiting for this opportunity to arise since I returned from Romania last May. It's finally come. The church that I attend in Anderson is going to Romania this coming August, and I'm going with them. I talked with Christy about the trip today, and I'm SO EXCITED about it. We will, hopefully, be flying into Bucarest, Romania and traveling to Targu Jiu, Romania. Most of our time will be spent with Gypsy families, which is where my heart has been for the past year. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to go on this trip at first, but knowing this has finalized my plans. It seems like I have had to change so many of my possible plans in the past month. I haven't known which way was up. I think this is why. I would think that I knew what I was doing for the summer, and then plans would change. God has a funny way of working out His plan in our lives. I know this is what He has in store for me. I feel so at peace about this decision. I know this is where I'm supposed to be. My heart is at peace knowing I'll be back. Praise God for His good and perfect will. | | |
