Finals!

I have finals today. I pray that I do well. Tomorrow is King's Island and then we go home saturday morning. I'm sad about leaving some of these people behind. It gives me some comfort to know that I'll probably be going to school with them for about three years of my life. I met a guy name Jared here. He's nothing like my brother, but he's very nice. I need to finish getting ready for today, but have a wonderful weekend.

?

Do you ever wonder why some people just aren't sensative and try to find a joke in everything? This is the first night that it pained me so much that I actually cried. I can't imagine what God's doing. I need to pray for them. I'm glad that I have an awesome God that understands my heart.

You'll never guess what! I had a xanga for about five minutes because I was showing someone how to get one here at school. I just deleted it though. I don't want to go against the wishes of my mom. I went canoeing this afternoon for the very first time. It was so much fun. :) I need to go shower now, but have a wonderful week!

I can't believe that it's past 8:00 p.m. already. I'm trying to do my reading assingnment but I can't keep focused so I'm taking a break. I'm going to try and go to bed early tonight. Sleep is calling out to me. Actually it's not as bad a sit sounds. Cedarville University shuts down really early. The bookstore closes at 5, the cafeteria closes at 6, and I think the library closes at 5. They do have the hive open a little latter than everything else during the regular school year though. Just in case you're wondering, the hive is a place where you have junk food and coffe and listen/watch things like the jazz band perform. It's a romantic place if you have someone to romance to or it's a neat place to hang out and talk with friends. I must go and finish my homework, but until next time!

P.S. I now have a roomate and she's super nice.

Well I have arrived at Cedarville University. Right now I don't have a roomate. They're trying to get me one, but I might have to be a loner for the next few weeks. My parents have left, and I miss them already. I'm really looking forward to my classes but I'm not sure how racket ball's going to go with my foot being injured and all. Have a great week you guys. Love you lots!

Emergency room visit

Three more days until CU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll never guess what I did. Yesterday I was working in the yard barefoot and stepped on a nail. I thought I had stepped on a rock, but then I tryed taking it off my foot and it wouldn't budge. I gently tryed pulling the nail out, but it wasn't moving so mom called 911. Five firemen and two paramedics came to the house. I got to ride in the ambulence and they treated me like a princess. So after about two hours of waiting in the E.R. they gave me at least six shots in my foot to numb it, an IV, and some other shot in my arm. Thank the Lord they were able to get that nail out. I'm now hopping around. I've learned another leason this week. Don't walk around outside barefoot.

FIVE DAYS UNTIL CU!!!!!!!!!!!

God is so amazing and awesome. Before the school year ended (even though I'm still doing school), I kept asking God that He would provide another job for me for this summer. Well that didn't work out, because I'm under the age of 18. So the Lord provided me with a few extra hours at the library. In the Meantime, I asked a man and his wife from church if they needed any help at the mission that they work at. They needed a lot of help. But I'm going to be gone for four weeks this summer. So it didn't seem like that was going to work either. It looked like God had shut the doors, so I stopped praying. Wrong thing to do! Today at Bible study, the lady that works there walked up to me and asked if I could work on wednesdays starting next month, helping out with the pre-schoolers. It just so happens that when this program starts, I will be home from CU. Also, I don't work at the library on wednesdays and she's fine with the fact that I'll be away at Aletheia for a week. MY GOD AND MY FATHER IS SO GOOD!

SIX MORE DAYS UNTIL CU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some one told me that I was pretty while I was at the good 'ol library working. That made my day! Here's a free tip for you: never mess with your mom's jewelery because it might break. That's what happend to me on this fine afternoon. I unclasped it and a pearl fell on the floor. Now I must pay to get it fixed. I'm getting my hair done tomorrow! I'm really excited about that, because it needs getting done. I finished the Brio devotional Want more?_ Love. I would highly recomend that book to any girl. God blessed me tremendously through it. I must go get ready for be. I have a lond day tomorrow.

Until Your Love Broke Through
~By Keith Green and Randy Stonehill

Like a dreamer that was trying to build
A highway to the sky
All my hopes would come tumblin' down
And I never knew just why
Until today when You
pulled away the clouds
That hung like curtains on my eyes.
I was blind all these wasted years when
I thought I was so wise
But then You took me by surprise.

Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
And I was lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until Your love broke through.

All my lfe I've been searching
For that crazy missing part
With one touch You just rolled away
The stone that held my heart,
Now I see that the answer was a simple
As my need to let love in
And I am so sure that I could never doubt
Your gentle touch again
It's like the power of the wind.

Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until your love broke through
And I was lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until Your love broke through.

I took the S.A.T. yesterday! Now I don't have to worry about taking it again until the fall. My parents went to a marriage retreat this past weekend and I stayed with my "aunt" and two other girls. One of the girls was around my age and her little sister is about two years old. So we went to church with my "aunt"this morning and a whole bunch of people kept asking me "is this your little girl"? Just when I think my age appearance is getting better, someone comes and pops my bubble. Summer school starts in a week from tomorrow! I'm really excited. Then when I come home Aletheia will be starting in less than a month.

The Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in Him. (Psalm 32:10)

Happy June! Can you believe that the year is almost half way over? I now have a cell phone. One of the songs from The Sound of Music is what my ring sounds like. So, if you would like my number, let me know. I just received a recipe exchange from one of my friends. I'm supossed to pass it along to six of my friends. So I thought that it would be neat if I sent it to those who live out of state. SO if you live in IN, CA, PA, VA, NC, or SC, you may be one of the privileged few to receive this exchange. Twelve more days until Cedarville!
