Just call me Homeward Bound!!!!!!... Almost....

Fall break is almost here!

I finished school on Thurdsay and since then life has been awesome!

1st off: Bible Conference and Fall break next week = NO HOMEWORK!
2nd off: I spend Friday at Shawn and Anna's house.
3rd off: Phil and Kathy came to town.
4th off: Bryce, Michael, Brock, and Tyler came to town.
5th off: My flag football team won their game today.
6th off: I AM GOING HOME WEDNESDAY!

I miss...
mom's salsa… and obviously all of her other food.
dad's hugs
Brooke's hair in the morning
Blake’s random movie quotes
my insanely ADHD puppy
the relaxing blue walls of my bedroom
wild Kansas friends
Kansas heat
having money
not having to do homework on the weekends
adequate amounts of sleep


... sorry for no pictures. I need to be a little more camera happy.

Just call me Slow Poke


Hey all!
Sorry it has taken me so long to put up a new post and here's why...

You know that post I uh... posted.... at the beginning of college about being disappointed in not getting a job... Well! I decided that with the time that I would have originally put into a job making money I would instead put into different ministry opportunities. Boy have I done a good job of getting rid of all my free-time! Haha!

Here's a snapshot of my week...

My weekday mornings and afternoons are full of classes, homework, and workouts. 

Monday - usually a free evening but I often fill it up with homework.

Tuesday - Journey group in the evening (This is a small group connected with the church I go to and I am actually helping to lead a group of college kids. As a freshman this is kind of scary)

Wednesday - I am a 5th grade AWANA leader at CBC. 

Rocking our AWANA shirts



Thursday - 8:08 (This is a college group of about 175 kids that get together and sing and listen to a speaker at guess what time... 8:08... you would be surprised how many people don't catch on to that)

Friday - Finally a free evening and I love it! I usually spend it downtown with a friend or just hanging out on campus.

One free evening we went to a Creighton volleyball game.

Saturday - In the mornings I go downtown with a group of kids and we do street evangelism. It's way out of my comfort zone, but I know how important it is and it will be very rewarding. I have the rest of the day off but I usually spend it doing homework that is due the following week. I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of homework most of the time.

Sunday - I go to Christ Community Church and usually get to sit with Andrea and DJ! In the afternoons we have inter-murals. Right now we are playing flag football and I am on a really fun team. Sunday evenings I have a group called Huddle that I attend. It's a meeting for all the leaders of Journey groups.

There is also usually some kind of student body activity on Saturday or Sunday night.

As you can see I really have no time to add in a job this semester, but I guess that is kind of what I wanted. It gives me a chance to trust that God will provide for me.
