my break so far

been back since sunday night, trying to get set up to go to Rockhill El. to observe for my summer class. in the mean time, i feel unproductive.
ive not, not had something to do in a long time....its weird, and kinda nice.
Though ive enjoyed the rest and relaxation, im ready to get back to a schedule, to a day of substance.

the end is near...

One more week til i am back in Stafford for the Summer. only one more night working with Valley. Lots of things going on. In a wedding May 15th. Driving back to VA with the Cliftons. funny how God works things out! I LOVE IT!!
Prayer request on the plate... Have to come up with a way to pay for summer classes. My internship with Pillar is going to be used for a 6 hour practicum and i have to observe 50 hours in a classroom for a 1 hour credit course...tis nuts! just that 7 hours at $270 an hour is not easy to pull out of pocket (no financial aid). God's got it though, so im not worried. I have about $700 saved for school. so, join me in praying this to come through. I've asked if i can pay a little at a time throughout the summer, i dont think that will be approved (they have been pretty stern on the need for 100% of summer tuition being paid before the first day of the summer class), however, with prayer it could!!! im going to go talk with the business office on monday.

on life, life is going quite strange beyond all that. Trying to remain focused on the Lord. new verse ive been pondering lately is Romans 8:1-2.
Lets have a PTL session: God is really working in the hearts of my siblings. no joke. Its been really awesome to see Him working and im excited for the opportunities that lie ahead to continue talking with them and some of my old highschool friends this summer. Kinda freaky, but definitely amazing!
I appreciate your prayers and will see some of you soon.

Radio Awesomeness!

For any of you familiar to the Stafford Native, Justin Grack, you should show him so love and support every week day morning from 7-8am Central time (hour behind eastern) by tuning into WFBU radio. He is the new radio host. go to Baptistcollege.edu then click on the "listenlive" link down on the left side of the page.

its just fun when you know the person on the other side of the radio!

Packing Up and Closing Out

Its time to pack up the dorm again. im going to try to consulidate all my stuff. I need to find a place to put the big items, like my two storage bins and my fridge and microwave. Storage places are really expensive though, and everyone around here just takes all thier stuff home because most of them live really close by, or at least close enough to justify not leaving thier things. Im hoping i can pursuade a friend to let me leave some stuff in their appartment...(PRAYER REQUEST)

What is Becky excited about these days?
  • School is almost out
  • My last days as a Valley (cafeteria) employee are in sight!
  • Im in a friends wedding on the 15th!
  • Ill be driving home with the wonderful Cliftons on the 16th!!!
  • For the first time in 3 years i will be home for my Brothers birthday on May 17th, My dad's birthday on May 23rd, Father's day (whenever that is...june i think), my 21st Birthday, my niece and nephews 3rd(?) birthday, Grams bday, and SOO MUCH MORE!!
  • Interning with Pillar!
  • seeing all you amazing people!
  • The Lord still working in my Sister's life!

K love you all, bye!

K love you all. bye!

Aboriginal madness!

Semester is winding down here!
only my finals are left on the to-do list. finished a massive awesome paper last week with the help of some amazing people! (I love international calls from people i love!)
what was supposed to be a 12-14 page paper ended up being a 17. but it didnt feel like it took that long to type it. the concept of the paper was awesome and my favorite so far so i would like to tell you about it.
Earlier this semester i had to pick a people group to research and write a paper on. we then had to, for this paper, imagine we are going to live with them and plan out our first year there, how we would become immersed in and learn the Language and Culture. We had to basically have a month by month assesment of our progress. My people group was the Anangu Aboriginal People of Australia. (Think the movie Australia, the little kid and his grandfather).
I think im falling in love with Australia. Ive always wanted to go there, didnt know why. Who knows, maybe someday i will. for now, i will just pray for them. It was awesome to picture myself living amongst them for a year.
