Romans

So I am reading through Romans, which holds my favorite passage. However, today I found one that might become a tie.

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

What an excellent set of instructions.

Anyway, I just finished my quiet time and check to see what all is due tomorrow and I found an assignment I was unaware of that is actually due tomorrow, so now I have the incentive I needed to get started with my homework.

I'll leave you with a teaser for the Barn Dance post which will come as soon as I get enough time to get all of the pictures up. This is a large percentage of the girls who are involved in my Bible study!

Heffalump

So my Mama got me Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie. It was the perfect short little Halloween movie to put me in the Halloween spirit. I just love Lumpy and his British accent.


Cute. Thanks Mama. We'll watch it the next time I am home.

Pumpkin

I carved a pumpkin last night as the after Rally. It was a lot more fun then I thought it would be. Anyway, I carved two face on one pumpkin. One on each side. Everyone else's were amazingly creative and pretty, but I just really wanted some faces. So here it is.

I had to use a flashlight to light up the pumpkin because I didn't have a candle yet. The pumpkin actually made it through the night outside, so I am hoping it might actually make it to Halloween. I think I did a pretty good job considering I haven't done one of these in a long long time.

Well, its time to start the homework! Have a great day everyone.

Ten

Well, the doctor has confirmed it. I have officially had ten concussions before I have turned twenty-years old. Sad.

But the good news is, because I am young, there has been no major brain damage. My brain has healed itself and is still functioning within the normal range.

However, this Doctor appointment and Mom and my silliness, has brought up a fun costume idea. I didn't think I was going to dress up for Halloween, but now I think I will! Stay tuned for pictures!

Wisdom

I am blessed to have wise council.

Wise council makes for a wise Kimi.

Thanks Travis, Laura, Dawn, Christine, and Amy!

Rage

I am so done with this Block 3 Crap! I am furious! How dare they try to pry into my personal life! Back off! I'll start taking care of myself, when the stupid homework allows me to!

Sorry to all of my readers. I am just sick and tired of the Elementary Education Program.


Oh, and I forgot to say that I put a staple through my finger today and it hurts like none other!

Testing

I have no idea how to do pictures, but I am gonna give it a try. Let's see how this goes.

This is Mr. Sappy. Mr. George Goo Sappy. Created by Dawn, Stephanie, and myself.

Dawn and I with our new friend!

Some of my favorite Nav girls!

This is my current favorite pictures of my brothers and me.

We are on a ferris wheel. Kevin is scared because our car keeps swaying because of Cory and I.

Looks like I did a good job! Hooray! There will be many more pictures in the future!

Sleep

I have been so sleep deprived recently. I will finally be getting some sleep tonight! Hooray!
I have finished all of my major Block 3 assignments and I would say I am about 75 % through all of the work and the semester is just half over.

I am going to bed tonight at nine. I am super excited! It will be a relaxing night and a pretty relaxing weekend because I should be able to get all of the word done Friday! Yay!

Not much going on in my life right now, at least nothing that really matters long term.

I'm excited for another weekend! For the first time since I have been at Purdue, I am looking forward to the weekends! I have Navs on Friday, usually some hanging out Saturday night, and E-Team on Sunday! Should be another wonderful weekend!

Oh, and I get the results for my memory test on Friday. Should be ok though I am not noticing anything else that hasn't been here before.

Well kids. I think that is it. I think I will read a little before Gilmore Girls, then it is off to bed! YAY!

Ugh

Ugh. That might be all I have to say. Ugh.
So much homework.
So many thoughts.
So little time.

As I look at my blog I realize that I do so many up and downs every week emotionally.

So, I'm sorry readers for hearing the up and downs, but at least you can look forward to the next up.

Anyway, the Barn Party was amazing. Seriously, it might have been the most fun I have ever had at a dance. So much fun! All the fun of dancing, without drama or pressure! Amazing. It is wonderful to be asked by men to dance! Truly a fun experience.

It is great to be surrounded by mature Christians and learn from them. Thanks Dawn for the prayer last night. I will talk to you as soon as I can.

So, I thought that talking about the Barn Party might perk me up, but it didn't work. But, as soon as I can figure it out, there will be some pictures of the barn dance up. Along with pictures of my apartment for those of you who have not seen it yet.

Time to get back to the homework... Have a great Sunday everyone!

Blessed

I am a blessed woman. It feels strange to call myself that, but that is what I have become.

I have women friends who are invested in me. Not only in my life but in my faith.

They push me and challenge me to walk closer with God.

I am truly blessed to have these women in my life.

I am blessed to have a family who loves me and who seem to all be on high alert when I knock my head. (By the way, I think I am concussion free this time!)

I am blessed to be able to see God actively working in my life daily. I am blessed to see Him fixing scars and wounds I could never even hope to heal myself.

I am blessed to have a friend who sticks by me and has always been there when I have fallen to my lowest point. Who always is there to give me a hand up.

I am blessed to have been forgiven of my many failures and shortcomings, and I am blessed that God has also taught me to forgive those who have hurt me in the deepest way.

I am blessed, friends!

It is an amazing thing to count your blessings.
And as the song goes,

"If you are worried, and you can't sleep,
just count your blessings, instead of sheep,
and you'll fall asleep, counting your blessings."
