Broken

This is a quotation of what I posted on the other blog which I am contributing to.

I had another experience this morning that I just wanted to share. The last day and a half have been incredibly hard for me. I have been faced with some upcoming challenges that I was not ready to deal with. So as I approached my quiet time this morning, I had a list. I wanted to tell God exactly what was on my mind. (I was angry that He would put this challenge in my way when I was just finally getting some solid footing) In the minutes before my quiet time as I was in the shower, God dropped another bomb on me. He was once again breaking me heart. I had become proud of the progress I had made, as if the healing had been from me and not from God. God showed me that this upcoming challenge was to show me that I am not fully healed and that none of this healing has been from my own strength to begin with. While be humbled by God is a hard experience, it was amazing to lose my list as God granted me insight into his plan.

Just thought I would let the rest of my faithful readers in on the current events of my life.

Now, I will leave with a few songs (one of which, God used during my shower revelation)

Let It All Out

Beauty From Pain

Blessed Be Your Name

Friday

It's Friday! I woke up with a rather disgusting surprise in my bathroom, but it's all taken care of now.

Rally is tonight! I'm pumped!

Not much progress made on the case study yet.... but there will be a lot made as soon as I finish posting.

Case Study time... Wish me luck. It will take so long.

Busy

Busy Busy Busy.... These next few weeks are going to be long. However, three weeks from now, I should basically be done with all huge assignments for my Education Classes. Hooray!

But God is faithful. He has provided me all the time to spend with Him and get my work done!

I don't really have any funny stories this week. Except that Dawn, Stephanie, and I made a man on a tree out of sap and leaves, pinecones, and sticks during the fall retreat. I will post some pictures as soon as I get them. Too much time without something to do I guess.

Here's a fun verse though: Zephaniah 3:17. God loves you!

Wonderful

I learned so much about prayer and how to read the Bible this weekend. I am so very excited. I have now been able to implement what I have learned and I am amazed. I am so glad to have gone on the Fall Conference! I am truly blessed to be in the Navigators. I am constantly challenged and pushed to grow more in my faith! I'm a happy happy girl!

Amazing

I had such an amazing weekend. I have grown so much and I am excited for what the future holds. I will fill in more later.

Pray

Pray Please.
I'm exhausted and overwhelmed with emotion.
Please pray that I can continue to seek God in all my decisions.

Scream

I Scream You Scream, We ALL Scream For Ice Cream!

I went out for Ice Cream last night, with a good friend of mine! It was wonderful. We had a good time catching up since I have been away for a while and we talked about plans for next year and the summer! It was very good.

We also had a chance to talk about something that has been on my mind that I just haven't been able to figure out. It helped me to talk through it, even though she didn't really have an answer. But anyway, thanks for listening as I spout off my mind!

Tomorrow, I leave for a Navigator retreat! I will be headed back to CP immediately after the retreat ends, so CP people, I should be back around Sunday afternoon. Should be a great weekend of growing.

Cooking

I am being taught to cook by males. And not just males, but males who are not present. I am being taught to cook over the phone by males.

Now, if it isn't strange enough that I am being taught to cook via phone, I am being taught by males so I can cook for my future husband. Strange.

On the different, but still related note! I made a great chicken tonight!
Thanks Kevin and Dave!

Teach

Suspicions confirmed. I am not meant to be a teacher. I am simply meant to play with kids, not teach them. Alas Cory, I will never become Amy (from your office), because I will never be a real teacher.

Weekend

Happy Birthday Carrie! It was really great to see her! I love you Carrie! I'm blessed to know you and be in your presence!

It was a great weekend! I got to spend a lot of quiet time at home and I got to spend lots of time with a good friend!

Concussion Update: There is not much they can do. I definitely have a concussion. I am going back for a memory test to see how much of my memory I lost next Monday! Should be fun!

My parents safely got home from Texas. It was nice to see them both.

I had a strange experience today. I found myself at a church with someone I never thought I would go to church with. The experience was such a blessing. Truly shows the power of Christ. And, I think I finally found a church I will go to when I go home!

Ok, bedtime, I think. Night!
