Life at school...loving it. Between classes, conditioning, homework, and hanging out it seems like one day just runs into the next and the days pass just as quickly as they come. I must say however that the time during conditioning seems to be the slowest time of the day, funny how that works. I don't think I have ever run as much as I have the last week or two, hopefully I am getting in shape, no I am getting in shape. Team bonding time, thats what conditioning is...it will all be worth it when we are getting on the bus to head to Soiux City...it will all be worth it! Being an RA is going well, it's a lot different..but it's good. The girls on my hall are great and we have a good time....

Two big tests this week, one was really hard probably bombed it, but hey it happens. The other, well it went pretty good..at least I think it did.

Here are a few pictures from the start of the year...

some of my favorite people....

a little bball retreat...

I am experiencing the heart and power of Jesus. I don't understand how when I am struggling or seem so faithless, he is still so faithful. I am headed to Denver this weekend with 10 of my peers to go serve and minister to the homeless people. I am expecting God to do big things, I am expecting to fall in love with him and his people all over again, I am expecting to find him in the smallest things and the lowest people. I am expecting to build relationships with the people on or team, I am expecting him to show up in mighty ways. If you don't expect God to do things, he won't. So bring it on, I'm ready. Or least I think I am.

I am starting a bible study this week with my mom. Experiencing the Heart of Jesus by Max Lucado, it looks pretty intense, but I am so excited to dive in and get started with my mom. She is pumped about doing it together. I don't think that excited is a good word to describe it, the fact that I am about to dive in and discover the power and love of Jesus with my mom, is awesome.

We were talking last night about how we won't ever think that we are qualified enough or good enough, we just have to go.

So just go...

back to school....

well it was the end of the summer about a week ago, so here is my update on my life.

Kamp...don't even really know where to start. I was praying all last semester that God would rock my world this summer, and he did, he was successful! Ask and you shall recieve I guess. The girls were great, we definitely had our share of struggles, but to see God soften and work in their hearts in the 2 weeks they were there was amazing. I told them that I think I learned way more than they did, which I think is a definite possibility. I am ready to go back, depending on where the Lord takes me next summer, maybe to Ethiopia with Erin :], hopefully the Lord will direct me back to kanakuk, I love being able to pour into those girls lives and just love on them, I can't imagine a better way to spend my sumer.

Now it's back at school, which I was excited for, but now that I am here and have just spent the last week with the most amazing people in Sterling, I am excessively excited. (yes I looked that up). But seriously, I have the most amazing friends and I am so excited to tackle the obstacles that this year will present knowing that we have each other's back. The Lord is going to do amazing things on our campus and I am so blessed to be a part of it.

Well I'm off to play my wii...later gators!
