You Hold Me In Your Hands

I AM STRESSING OUT!!!!!

I leave in six days for Virginia Beach and I still have a lot of money to raise. Sure, I still have like 7 follow-up phones calls to make as well as 9 'yes' responses to helping me, but I am still in the dark with all of that. I have no idea how much I will have by the end of the week. This is really scary. I have to pray more. I am doing a horrible job with trusting that God will come through. He calls us not to worry and that's all I am doing. Ugh......

Break Away From Everything

Shout out to my peeps!!!!

I am on Summer break and I could not be happier right now. I thought that leaving school was gonna be this depressing moment followed by consistent days of depression. Yes, that is how sad I thought leaving school would be. SO GLAD I WAS WRONG! Being back with all of my friends not having any worries is absolutely great. My friends are so amazing and I don't know how I made it at ISU without any of them by my side. But that is part of growing up. Gotta leave the people you love at some point even though it's gonna suck. But being back is such a blessing and is something that I didn't even know I needed.

LT in 10 days!!!!!!! How amazing is that? I am so ready to go and do amazing things. I am kinda getting back into my old ways of being lazy with my faith. I really want to go to Virginia beach while being strong. I don't want to be in the weak state that I am currently in. I am just glad that God doesn't give up on people. Otherwise a lot of us would be in trouble! 

I love how God can use things to show you what was there all along. I just want all of you to remember that sometimes good things can come out of the worst. It is just how it works out sometimes. So the next time you are feeling down about ANYTHING, remember that there is always more to come. Expect the unexpected!!!!

Sorry for jumping around..... There are so many things that are running through my head that I continue to bounce back and forth. There are MANY things that I could still say but I am gonna shut up and leave this post as is. I mean, it is 2:06 AM. TIME TO WATCH A MOVIE!!!!!

That is all I have for now. Keep it real :)

No, I Can't Let Go of You

It has been way too long peeps..... So what is going on in my life now?

First I will start with the end of school. So I go home in like 4 days and I am both excited and extra sad. I am excited because of LT! I can't wait to spend the summer growing in my faith, getting to know the others that are going with me, and just being in a such an awesome place as I do both of those things. It is gonna be a great summer and I am ready for it. But I am really sad too. Why? Because I am leaving so many people. ISU has become my home. I mean, when I go back to Skokie I LOVE seeing everyone but something doesn't feel the same. So I am gonna miss so many people from school. And of course I am gonna miss that special someone. Yall know who I am talking about. Ha. I would say that it's affecting me for real. Just the thought of going the whole summer....... Yeah, just a lot to handle. But I know that God will help me get past it and give me a heart that is completely set on Him.

So, speaking of that special someone....... Ha. Yeah, things are good. She obviously knows and there is a 90% chance that she will be seeing this post at some point. I don't post these things to make you feel awkward (even though you're not an awkward person)! Just for the record. But yeah..... It has been like two weeks since she said she didn't return the same feelings and I have come A LONG way. I am doing so much better. I am completely satisfied with our friendship and just glad that my feelings for her really changed nothing between us. Things are just great right now. Sure, there are times when I am feeling down about it, but we all go through things like this. I truly believe that I get so down because my feelings were so unexpected. I really thought that God was calling me to her because something was meant to happen. I guess that's what happens when you go all in. The more you sacrifice, the more you have to lose. But anyways........ It is something that I can handle (right.......). If you ever want the full details of what I have been going through, just ask; I will most likely be willing to tell you.

So what else is there? Since it's been a while since my last post I feel like I need to post a really long one. Hmmm..... So it is finals week and I am once again sick for the second straight semester. Like really? Right when I'm about to take 4 exams? It's whatever. I am gonna tough it out and soon I will be home (joy and sadness). I am sitting here writing this and it is currently 2:49 AM. I mean, if I'm sick, shouldn't I be sleeping???? I'm dumb and I accept that :)

So I guess that is all I have for now. I will try to keep up with posting sooner so I get important things written. I will def keep you all posted once I get to LT. I can't wait to share everything that God is doing once I'm there.

NIGHT YALL!!!!!!! =D
