Christmastime is upon us...

Hello friends and family, mostly just family I guess. I have figured out that a good time to write is during my Friday morning class...Survey of Christian Beliefs. I still take the notes and hear what he is saying, but alot of time they do discussions and well, i am not a discussor, so yah! But I didn't have class last week, therefore it has been about 2 weeks since I last wrote. They have been great weeks.

Last weekend I watched alot of movies. My laptop power chord was broken and my battery was dead, so I didn't not have a computer, therefore, I couldn't do my homework. So I went down to the aframe with some cross stitch and my theory and watched movies all day. On Saturday I was asked to dog sit for my friend cuz she was going toa wedding all day! I normally wouldn't do that cuz i am not a huge dog person, but this one was especially good. I will put pictures of the dog up, she is so small and her name is Honey. We watched tv, went for a walk, went to Starbucks, and just hung out. I love her. I went to the movie "Enchanted" too and it was sooo good! It was also really good because I went with a girl from my school. I haven't really done alot of hanging out with people from the school this entire semester, so it was fun to just hang out with her. And well, we had a good time and really enjoyed the movie. oh, and last weekend was a long one cuz we had Thursday and Friday off for US Thanksgiving. I didn't go to the states at all, nuts, missed out on the US feast, but it's all good. Lots of the people here are from the US so they all went home for the weekend, and then yah I guess alot of them went shopping on "black friday" i have heard crazy stories about that! YIKES! But yah, that was my weekend.

This last week has been good to. I had homework due on Wednesday, but other than that I have been slackin off. i have some big term projects due on Friday the 7th which I have started on, but i plan to do them this weekend! I hadn't really been doing devotions or spending time with God everyday this semester, i would periodically but not all the time. So i think that's the reason my semester has been so up and down (mostly down). But I knew what I had to do but i just didn't do it, and then I had a talk with my friend Becca and she's liek I just set aside the same time everyday to spend time with God and then I know during that time that's what I have to do. So I did that and I look forward to that time everyday, it is so great! I love it. So yah, this week has been really great because of that and i am learning so much. And I had my Worship Leading Lab this week with my favorite teacher Russ. He is so great! Wow, he is sucha good teacher. But we talked about like Intercession and well prophetic worship like we always do. And like not being afraid to bring worship into the community and how it affects community. So it was cool, and like through it I got so antsy. I just wanted to get up and go do these things taht we were talking about but I didn't know how to get them started and I was sitting in class. So yah, i love that class, it just inspires me sooooo much! I just wish I could take him with me to get things started, i am not a very strong leader and I find it hard to step out of my comfort zone but i guess if God wants me to do that, then he will give me the strength... But yah...so that was this week!

This weekend is homework! Whoop whoop! One of my projects I get to plan my wedding so it's all good. But yes, I am looking forward to Christmas. I have lights up in my room, mom sent me a little Christmas tree which i set up in my room and I listen to Christmas music all the time! I can't wait to go home too! YAY! But yes, I will sign out now and pay more attention to my teacher... talk to you soon! I will post pictures in a separate thing of the babe little dog!

sweet blog! Sounds like those were some good weeks. I have had a pretty down semester too (like a rollercoaster haha) so it's good to know that we aren't all alone in it. I wish that my room was all Christmasy!
