Workin it out.

I've been very busy since i've been back in the south. It feels good to be here and doing all the normal things, but i rarely get some real down time. Here are some things that i'm workin out

1. school work- classes are great, so far i like em a lot, i just have a whole lot of homework all the time. But that's ok... I'm up for the challenge

2. Internship- I have decided to go to california for my internship this summer. I am so excited about this because it's right up my alley in what I want to do with life. I get to live with 3 or 4 girls who have checked themselves into this ranch because they have substance abuse problemes, they have come from dysfunctional families, or they have been abused, etc. I get to mentor and disciple them and just show them the love of Christ. God has totally provided a great oppotunity for me here. I can't wait!

3. Volleyball- The team is awesome. I love all the girls. We get along great. We work hard and do our best all the time. I love that. I think this year is our best chance so far to win the banner. OCU is going down!

4. Homiletics- this is my preaching class... yeesh! I am the only girl in there, which doesn't intimidate me, however, this is going to be very stretching for me because i am not the "preaching" type. I am more of the small group sharing thoughts sorta gal. But I am excited to see what God can teach me through this experience. I have to preach once in class and once outside of class. Begin praying for me now!

5. Brother- It's been weird and awesome having Jonathon here. I am so happy he is slowly adjusting and that he is enjoying himself. I get to see him at least once a day. My biggest challenge is trying not to "mother" him. I always want to make sure he's OK and making friends and getting his homework done, and while that's all good... I know he needs to do it on his own. I get to just be the big sister, an example, and it's been nice to just watch him and look out for him. He's doing really well.

6. Listening- I'm working on listening for God's voice a lot more. I am trying to make my time with Jesus very intentional and let him saturate me. I'm also trying to develop a deeper prayer life.

So this semester has started off pretty well. It's gonna be a great one i think. I'm leaving you with some pictures from our Milligan game last tuesday! The End.
