So whats new? Well to be honest probably a lot!
The LORD has been doing amazing things this semester! First off, every Wednesday I meet with my suitemate next door, Dimetra and our friend Jasmine. Today being Wednesday we had our weekly meeting... Now, I LOVE these girls... they are an answer to prayer just like our meetings. No Wednesdays are the same.. The first one that I went to the power of Jesus was there and I spoke and prophesied over them (which is a true first for me)... Another Wednesday we just really sat there and prayed which was nice, another Dimetra and I just met and we just prayed for each other and spoke over each other.... This one we just talked, and answered two questions... 1. What do you think God has planned for you? and 2. What two things do you want to ask God for? We had some prayer, sang some songs....and just hung out.
The second thing the LORD has been doing is given me an organization on campus that I love. We meet every Monday night and it is held by a local church called New Beginnings. I went to their church freshman year once... They are pretty awesome. The music is great, and the messages are pretty awesome too. Its just great and I love it.
Thirdly, my academics. My parents know this, but I am so ready to be done with school... Im tired, worn out, and just ready to be done. I have a year and a half left.... ughhh. But I know it will flyyyyyyy by. Since I am so ready to be done I probably have become an even bigger procrastinator...which is not good. Even though I sometimes wait, more often than not, I still want to do my best and make good grades. Since I am a fourth year my classes are pretty much method classes which means they are classes where you learn how to teach which is very important to know....the problem is there is no more small assignments for the most part but a couple BIG projects that count for a big percentage of my grade and with these classes I have to have higher than a C- (not that I wouldnt strive for that, or want that...its just knowing that I have to have it adds more pressure somehow). So I get worried sometimes that I want get the grades that I need to pass...well just to let you know JESUS has been taking care of that. One of my teachers is very hard, I mean he is just hard, he just makes things hard...I dont know how to explain it but he does.... His classes are the two that worried me most....not just for the content that is being teached but also just him being the teacher. God has completely rocked my world when it has come to my grades. Last semester this teacher gave me a huge compliment (I take it as a huge compliment maybe because he just said it)... We had to present a reading lesson and after mine he told me that I had a teaching ability, that he didnt truly see it until then, or no he said he didnt know that I had that teacher in me (or something like that). That was huge. This semester I had to teach on how to teach first words to students who are deaf and hard of hearing and he told me afterwards that I had a natural teaching ability, and I feel like he said wow before that statement but I cant quite remember. Again that was a huge compliment to me... I ended uop with an A on that presentation and that is just one example. I have a huge paper due to DPI and I have to have at least an 80 on it, and when I turned in the rough draft I thought it was going to be horrible and I was basically going to have to start over... NOPE! I got a 74 which means I am only 6points away from the grade that I NEED!! WHOOP WHOOP!
I probably could go on, and on, and on but my wrist is getting tired...haha.
I am so happy with what the Lord has been doing, and so glad that I recognize that it is Him!
im still ready to be done with school, but I know that the LORD knows that and will get me to my graduation day on Mothers Day 2013!
PRAYER REQUEST:
That I will be content and happy in the NOW!
That I will get out of my comfort zone- which is a big problem of mine. It sort of scares me.
OOOOH and Lyndsey.... I dont know if you can tell from this but what you told me in the car that day on the way to Allysons baby shower is happening. (You know when we stopped at the Mebane outlets waiting on our families to get out of church :]) LOVE YOU!
