in about 44 hours i will be home in VA once again. sorta... i land at 10:10AM on Thursday, i will be off to my Grandma's for the night from there and then will be back in Stafford Friday. After that, well, thats just the BEGINING of the CRAZY!
I have alot of homework to do over break. and i hope to finish it all before Thanksgiving day because my sister Kimmy is gonna be arriving that day and i need to have my complete attention on that time!!! SUNDAY I WILL BE AT PILLAR FOR CHURCH SO COME!!!!!
on a different note, i have barely any winter clothes! i have 4 long sleeve shirts that fit and 2 pairs of pants... and a hoodie. considering this is more then most have, i am grateful, but i dont know how i am gonna make it in that 30degree mess up there! today it was warm and beautiful here in Florida, i have a feeling im in for a gianormous shock here soon!
Im excited to be where the leaves change (please tell me there are still leaves on the trees), see that firey scene as a fly into DC, and embrace those i love and miss with big hugs!
See you soon!!!

Anesthesia
Its a fun thing, truly.
The last thing i remember is laughing as they put an oxygen mask on my nose and attaching a bunch of wire things and an IV to my arm...When i woke up my mouth was full of gauze and i felt great, i tried to get up and do a bunch but the Nurse kept pushin me to stay put. when my friend came and got me they walked my woozy self out to the car and off we were to Publix (equivalent of Bloom) where i got to ride around the store in an electric cart chair thing. that was fun. Liz had to keep redirecting me so i wouldnt run into the shelves.
Apparently i decided to text and call some friends, leaving funny voicemails and texts that i dont remember ever sending.
when i got back to the Dorm, Liz took care of me and stayed with me. She bought me a slinky and some coloring books while they were takin my teeth out and so i played with those things while we watched the first season of Gilmore Girls.
today, since the numbness wore off, the pain was tough. but i watched Gilmore Girls and relaxed.
Havent eaten much in the last couple days but soup and mashed potatoes and a shake. oh and a sweet friend bought me Popsicles. I love my friends, they have really made sure i am Ok.
Liz was taking such care of me that she forgot to take care of herself and ended up getting dehydrated, so we were able to recooperate together.
All in all, the pain hasnt been too bad, the company has been great, and its really weird to see stitches in my mouth!!!

Revealed Ministry
There is a group of girls here who have started a ministry in the last year and a half. their focus is on revealing God's truth of His love for them, by exposing all the lies we believe in our lives to the Truth of His word.
Tomorrow night, God is giving me the opportunity to be a part of this awesome ministry by sharing my testimony of His greatness! Im excited and nervous, but realize that He will be the one to receive the GLORY because its only by His grace that I am who I am.
I would greatly appreciate that, until then, you all would pray that the Lord would grasp the attention of the young women who attend the event. Ask Him to show them the lies they have believed, bring them to the light and allow His truth to replace each lie. Also pray for the leadership and those involved in this ministry, may Satan have no foothold in our lives and absolutely no way to get in the way.
Love yall! THank you!

the bog
I am really struggling these days to stay on task and do my work. to be able to focus on my school work. There are a few reasons: my mind runs in thousands of different directions constantly and i have moments of laziness, and i get so distracted.
This is an odd way of attack, but its what is being used currently. i know, you are reading this saying, "Stop blogging and get to work!"
alas...i know what i must do and am finding it more and more dificult to do.
(though i realize how i despise the reprecutions from my procrastination and lazy attitude.)
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.7
I increased my jogging distance...or more so, the Lord gave me the ability to progress in my jogging endeavor. Instead of 1 mile, which i have successfully jogged twice, once this semester and once last semester, i was able to jog 1.7 miles. (and truth be told, i think i could have gone longer, but where i was in relation to where i wanted/needed to end at, well...that would not have been a timely endeavor so i decided to cut my losses and end the jog short. next time though :) It felt so good! i finally know how to breathe properly and i know how to stay at a pace, more importantly, i can now see the difference between my limit and my laziness!
Prayer Request:
Please pray with me that i would keep my priorities straight and that the Lord would create in me a studious, lover-of-learning mind set. I would also ask that i can remain focused and on task.
Life is crazy, but im loving what the Lord has been teaching me lately. He really challenged me a couple weeks ago. He showed me that i was not remaining focused on Him, and that in my heart, i was not complete in Him. WOW!!! talk about a smack in the face :) You see, i guess i had begun to believe that my life would be in limbo until "the man of my dreams" came into my life. The very thought that i have rejected verbally for so long was finding its way into my heart and mind and it was time to give it to the Lord. It was difficult to work through, but I truly believe that I am complete in Him. One thing to remember, this is a process. its not over, the world is full of lies, satan likes to throw them at us as we grow closer to the Lord in order to trip us up. It's the battle of mind. 2 Corinthians 10:5 is just the truth that we all need, it displays the action we need to take in order to cling to the truth of God.
"We DESTROY arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and TAKE EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE TO OBEY CHRIST."
