::It's been a while::

I decided that since I had time between classes, I'd take time to update this mug. Wow, I don't even know where to start. Well, I guess I can start by saying that the Lord is good. His mercy, love, patience, and grace is hard for me to comprehend at times. Especially when I am such an ungreatful servant of Him who loved me and gave Himself up for me. I am not loving enough to others or Him for that matter, and it makes me wonder why He chose me to be His daughter? I can honestly say that He has done far more than I can imagine or be thankful for. It's amazing what new heart he plants in us when we believe on Him, and the new eyes He grants us. "Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind but now I see." I'm all up in the concerts this month. Earlier this month I went up to Souix Falls with Kelsi, Brooke and Becca to see Remedy. It was really cool. We were able to talk and hang out with the band after the concert. Super cool. Tonight Kelsi, Laura and I are going down to KSU for a Jeremy Camp concert. I super stoked for that too. Jeremy Camp has a great voice, and I really admire his ability to write and sing songs about his life that hit so close to his heart and experiences. One of his songs he wrote right after his wife died of cancer. He sings this..."I still believe in Your faithfulness....I still believe in Your truth...even when I don't see, I still believe." What a man of God. I actually improved in some areas of my schooling. This past week I got an 88% on my third accounting exam. Yeah, I was pretty happy about that. Just because I did so bad on my second exam, that doing well on this one was a relief! I think I might pull off a high C in the class! I just don't want to have to take accounting over. Man, but I think I'll have to take stats over...I really don't know what my grade is right now, but it's not looking pretty. Micro is good...I think I might pull off a B+ or A- in that class. I'm still working out for my health class. I like jogging. I don't know what prompted me to do so, but it's fun. I decided that when I have the money to buy new running shoes I'd like to buy a new pair. Speaking of money...well lets just say that I'm beginning to feel the weight of lack there of. I think getting a job at a bank, holding a waitress position, a possible internship at an insurance company, or maybe a retail job is what I'll do for the summer. Oh yeah, and babysit the two/three families that I currently sit. I gotsta save though. I really do...my savings account is going down...down....down. But I've thought about it before...I'm kind of glad that I don't have a ton of money just laying around or whatever, because then I would probably get all greedy with it, and want to spend it all on me...but I think being fruggle with your money isn't all that bad. Granted I have expenses for sure...I'm finding comfort in knowing that the Lord provides! Think about it, I could be living in a third world country right now with no school, no money, lack of food...but bless God for His gracious blessings in that we have MUCH to be thankful for living here in the US of A.
