Hello, it's time for another late night update.  The time is now 2:22.  How cool is that?  Anyways, I had an OK night. I spent over four hours working on the Homecoming Cheer for west.  Ugh, I don't want to see the color orange ever again!  But, on a super positive note, I got to see an amazing movie while working on these signs.  It's call "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."  SO GOOD! I don't want to say much about it cause it will ruin it, but you MUST see it. 

I hung out with Jessamy today.  It was so wonderful. I love her so much and miss her a ton.  I take so many people in my life for granted.  We collected spiders for her science experiment.  It was really fun just to be outside and talk, laugh, get freaked out by spiders, ect.  hehe.  The apple orchard is in the plans for tomorrow, if the homework can get done.  The apple orchard may have to be a reward. 

Ok, the coolest thing happened just about ten minutes ago.  I was looking online for song lyrics and free MP3s to download (whatever Bethel covenant).  And I opened the My Music folder and I found a TON of songs that Matt gave me last year.  I just started to cry.  It was so overwhelming just having all those songs, I was so excited and grateful and thankful for that music.  It was so crazy, it was like I couldn't even take in how much having all that music meant to me.  It was the greatest gift I ever could have asked for.  So Matt, if you ever read this, thank you so so so much for the music. 

Now I just want to stay up and listen to music all night.  There is so much here, I can't even take it all in!!!!!  And so, I will leave you all tonight with the most thankful heart, and I wish you all a very very lovely day!

Today has been good, bad, crazy, busy, fun, exciting, and exhausting.  It's  one of those roller coaster days.  This morning my field experience was awesome.  I love the teacher that I get to teach with. She only graduated three years ago so she is young and I love that.  I am with her for two classes. One is a group of eighth graders that are horrible, the other group is a seventh grade class and they rock.  They are so excited about art!  it is really fun to watch. 

This afternoon I just worked and had class, all day I have been having to constantly remind myself that God is in charge has an amazing plan for my life.  And that Iwill only become stronger because of pain.  I am praying that I stay focused on Christ, seeking him so earnestly through the hard stuff, through the waiting period and learning how to be patient and wait for him.  I love Psalm 37. 

This afternoon I got some potentially incredible news!!!!!!!! I might be headed back to Sweden! This time as an Au Pair (a nanny for a Swedish family!!)  How amazing would that be??  That totally made my day a lot better.  Then the stupid photo lab sucked, but what can you do? sometimes art works out sometimes it doesn't. Today was definately a NOT day. Now I am off to Bible study.  Oi, if anyone reads this, I would really appriciate prayer right now.  Just that I would focus on the task at hand, and not WORRY!! God has my future in his hands, and that is the safest place of all! And about Sweden too.  I want to go so badly, but I don't want to go just to run away from the pain here.  If God wants it, he'll make it happen. Ok, Bible study time.  I love you all!

I hate hearts sometimes.  I hate it that my heart can hurt so much.  But I love it how God can give my heart peace, even when I don't want it. 

"Never under-estimate my Jesus!!"
