Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

Ok, funny moment of the week:

The dorm was quiet, everyone was gone to various places and I was relaxing.
I thought I heard someone knock on the door while I was in the bathroom, so I quickly opened the bathroom door to go into my room...
...out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a figure wearing a black hoody.

I jumped sky high and gasped...yup, that's right, so shocked I couldn't scream.

Who was it?

My roommate's hooding hanging on her closet door that was open. Wow.

So, exams are finally done!! Man this was a rough semester... I'm never putting that on myself again. I'll miss working with the health clinic, but not the added stress on top of classes. Exams went ok. Today's I'm not so sure about. If I get a B in the class cause of this exam I will be very VERY mad. It'd be sad to make it this far in a rough semester to let it slip on exam week cause I was sick of studying...

I have never had a shot hurt that badly! The woman put the typhoid in my right arm and the tetnus in my left arm so I could take my exam after that. Typhoid only hurts some people....I'm one of those people. My arm swelled up and has been horribly in pain. I can't even feel the tetnus in comparison. Hey, but its over right? The lady who gave me a shot was nice though. She had a cool accent that I couldn't place. I kept meaning to ask her where she was from...

Man, I should post more often cause by the time I post I have so much to say that I say none of it....lol. Yea...

I don't feel adequate to be going on the mission trip to Honduras. I feel too ... weak? But I guess that's exactly how I should feel so that God can use me. He's definitely been confronting me with the sin in my life lately. Pray that He will give me the desire to change and the help I need to do so.

I learned a lot from this semester. I learned I could handle more than I thought, I also learned my limits. I learned what I value most (because when you have only a little bit of spare time, how you use it says a lot) and I learned where I fail and need to change. I learned the value of the small things to someone who is struggling. Tea is wonderful. I learned to I need to stop looking at the now and relax and see the big picture. Everytime I think its bad, someone is going through something a whole lot harder. You can never know what is going on in someone's life so always treat them with that in mind.

And the most important thing is relationship and love.

Yea, all stuff I knew or should have known before, but this semester I related to it all in a tangible way.

I am:
stubborn, perfectionistic, stick to preconcieved ideas of people and let them get in the way, self-centered, greedy

And most of all a work in progress. Forgive me, but God isn't done with me yet and I have hope and joy and peace in that.

I learned the meaning of peace over the last year and a half. God has been showing me peace in various ways and various scenerios. Really cool.

Real cool thought that's been on my mind: God has us in this specific moment for a specific reason even if we think we messed up (or even if we did mess up)

Haha, my roommate, Josh and David eat came back with a pack of cookie dough. Earlier while baking cookies I gave them cookie dough and made them all crave it. Haha, spreading the joys of sugar from one end of the hall to the other =-P
