Don't you just love it when God puts people in your path that know just what to say to get to you to refocus? They may not even know they are doing it at the time, but there have been some words spoken to me that are still burning. May God give me the strength to do something about them, and may He continually show/remind me of where my focus is ( Read more... )

Finals are over!!! Tomorrow I will be on my way back to Texas. I'm looking forward to hanging out with my family with no worries of papers and exams. Lena Beth sent me and Amy a much needed package during this past finals week. She sent chocolate, and cards, and school supply stuff, and more candy, and a c.d. with a song that is very ( Read more... )

Bethany, James, and my Mom all came to visit me this weekend! But let me back track to Thanksgiving. I went to Missouri with Taylor, a girl on my floor, and had an AMAZING time!

For now I'm learning tons and I'm not gonna give it up till I ( Read more... )

So I've decided there is one very bad thing about living on the ninth floor of my dorm on the streetside of Chicago. It's that people think that when no one can see them, you (unfortunatly) can, which leads to life scaring incidences. For example I went over to my window to open it and let some air in b/c it is GORGEOUS outside, and then I saw it ( Read more... )

Well let me give it to you straight, school has pretty much taken up all my time. So that's why it's been a while. Well I have had a few fun nights, last week I got to see an opera. Micheal got really sweet deals on tickets and we were fourth row from the stage! I saw Cenerentola (Cinderella in Italian)by Rossini at the Lyric Opera house here ( Read more... )

I LOVE study reading days! Missions week was amazing. One thing I really appreciate about Moody is all the little celebration/annual activities. Vespers, Missions Conference, Spiritual Enrichment Week, and Founder's Week are what make Moody so interesting ( Read more... )
