Now what?

I applied to Moody...again.
Round two. Deja Vu of my senior year of high school. It's kind of cool to think about how different my application essays are from almost FOUR years ago. I would not change anything about the last three years. Life has been exactly how God wanted it to. I met the people I needed to meet, saw the places I needed to see, and experienced God in ways I will never forget. The amount of growth that has happened in my heart is pretty crazy. To think of what God has allowed me to experience since 2008 is nuts! So now what? Time for the waiting game! Wait & trust God knows what He's doing.

snow + tunes

I am at school right now, looking out this huge window in complete despair, due to what I am seeing .. for someone who already has a terrible case of the Mondays, this (being snow) is not helping! in my book, snow should only come around for a couple days before Christmas and be gone no later than January 5th .. it's scary to drive in, it eventually turns brown & ugly and makes the bottom of your favorite jeans all salty .. actually, in my book, a lot of things would be different - okay that's enough complaining for the day ... On the brighter side of things, I can't stop listening to Brooke Fraser's Albertine. Each song on the album is good .. an album that you can listen to in its entirety is a good album .. so yeah, there's my plug it's only like 8 bucks on itunes, so check it out.

MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE

I got into Moody Bible Institute.

only catch, not the Chicago campus - the Spokane, WA campus

So needless to say God closed that door.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6:34

I have a lot to write about, not enough time in a day.
This week/weekend has been crazy & stressful, in a good way!
All I have to say is, thank God for family & the state police.
This upcoming week is going to be even crazier though.
I am FINALLY sending in my Moody application.
And I have to take finals and go to work....busy busy busy.

life is good.

Moody?

words can't begin to describe what I am feeling right now...
I was able to visit some potential colleges and universities this week there were things I liked and disliked about all of them, but Moody Bible Institute definitely made it to the top of my list of options - for where I will soon be furthering my education. I was blown away by different experiences I had, as I stayed there for two days and nights. I was encouraged through the worship service, my friend Adrienne, and my youth pastor. The students and staff were amazing...each person I met was super friendly and noticeably in love with their Creator. Set right in downtown Chicago made for a beautiful campus and wonderful shopping! Testimonials - if you will, of the students there following God's call for them to be involved in different kinds of ministries were wonderful. So that takes me to where I am right now...I need to trust in God as I begin to make decisions in where I want to go to school and what I want my adult life to look like.
