Things have been better...
So hello all you out there...As you can see from my title, things aren't going so great. I am kinda down in the February slumps. We have had beautiful weather, but sometimes that just doesn't do it!
Last Thursday in Chapel I was finding it really hard to meet with God. And then we had this speaker that was horrible and he totally just discouraged everyone instead of building us up, so it really sucked. Ever since then I have done things I shouldn't have and I don't know, things are going down hill. Yesterday I got my outline for my midterm tomorrow and I looked it over, and I didn't know anything on it, so I got mad and chucked it across the room and then I went around my room and threw everything around. I cried, and then I had a nap, and then my friend came in and cuddled with me. I felt better after the nap but still not great. A really weird thing happened during my nap though. So Grace came into my room and shea sked if she could pray over the room because alot of the girls had been having dreams of like demonic things and stuff liek that. So she prayed and then we were talking. And I remembered just before I went to sleep I thought someone had come into my room, liek it felt like someone was watching me right over my shoulder and it was like I could feel them there. And I didnt' look cuz I was scared and didn't want to move, but then a little while later it was gone and everything was back to normal. So it kinda freaked me out. But then last night I prayed for a really long time just wanting Jesus to come have a sleepover with me cuz I was so scared and I needed to have him near. And he did and so it was good and comforting, I had a good sleep.
Today just started out brutal, I had theory and we are learning such hard stuff right now and I didn't understand anything we learned today! And then I was just in kinda a bad mood and people in the class were bugging me, and then I had choir. And everyone was just so annoying, the boys never stop talking and the piano player kept messing up and messing everyone else up. I love all the people there but today they were just relaly getting on my nerves. And so I just went back to my room after that and cried! I bawled. And then I wrote 2 songs, so i guess it was ok. But I just had so much bitterness and anger today and it wasn't cool. But I was actually speaking my mind which is good to do and helpful also. So I am praying hard that I will be close with God again and just get over this slump i'm in. Plus my car isn't fixed yet, and I need to find rides to the ferry this weekend to visit mom and dad, and I have a midterm tomorrow, quiz on Thursday, Songwriting on Monday-saturday! So it is going ot be busy and I get no spring break :(. So i guess I would like prayer for this....
Anyways, just thought I would give you the update. Thank you foryour prayers. I love all of you alot! :)

Has Springtime come?? I think so!
Yes, it is that time of year and it is sooo noticeable. The weather is sunny and beautiful and so are the people. Everyone is so much happier and feel liek they can get outside and do exercise and just be fun again! I love it.
It is midterm time also though, so that makes things a little stressful. I have a theory midterm tomorrow and that's a little intimidating, but I will survive. And next week I have another one. Thank goodness that this semester is a little lighter for me and I don't have any essays due or anything, it is just quizzes and weekly assignments. Tomorrow I am going to Victoria to visit Candice, Grandma Unger,a nd Rissy! i am so excited, i haven't seen them in so long! On Friday I have a bridesmaid dress shopping trip and then my church is doing a live recording DVD and CD so I am going to that, and then I am going to my friends birthday party! Everything is happening, but I love it, I would rather be busy than bored so that I don't get into trouble....ha, not that I would, but you know, hypothetically...
This last weekend our missions team went to Trinity Western University to a DRIME workshop. we divided up into 2 groups and learned 3 drimes each, so it was alot of memorization and it will take a whiel to get them down really good, but they will be good. We are going to be doing them in chapel here before we leave and then we are also doing them like on the streets, in churches, and all around when we are in Thailand. So we have to know them well. I am so excited though, I am not a big acting person, but I love it, they are so much fun! But yah...
I think this is all that is new or anything here. It is so sunny and beautiful and I thank God for that because it makes everyone happy and we can see God's beautiful creation, I LOVE IT!!!!

Days go by...
Hi all! Oh man i have so much to write on, so many things have been happening!!! It's crazy...
So I guess it was since last Wednesday I told the parentals about the car...as you probably all know by now I got in a bit of an accident and so i haven't been driving it for the past like month. That piled on with school, friendships, relationships, and everything else, i have been really overwhelmed which leads to depression i guess. Not severe, but its still there. So Monday was really bad and after Vespers in the evening we had our Thailand prayer meeting and me and Becca were the lucky ones who got to go in the "hot seat" this week. It was cool becuase people were praying for me for things they had no idea were going on and it was super cool. Then on Tuesday I decided i just needed to take the day off and sleep and just hang with God. I know that sounds like a wimpy way to say that I was just skippin class and wanted to sleep. But it really helped, it totally revitalized me and it was just good to sleep in God's presence. I would pray and then fall asleep and i felt bad but i know God was with me during that, so it was so comoforting.
So then is the popular topic of Lent right now i guess. So I put alot of prayer into this and i didn't know what to give up, but i finally decided on something due to the constant reminder from God. Well the first thing that I am giving up is makeup. This is extremely hard for me because i love wearing not, not because i think i need it, but because i just enjoy doing it. But i felt that God was telling me everytime i look in the mirror and see my face without make up on it I will be reminded of how he made each person beautiful and perfect in his eyes and that i need to focus as much time and energy on making my heart as beautiful as i usually try to make my face. It is working too cuz everytime i lookin the mirror, i think about it. And then the second thing I am doing (not giving up) and Candice got this from me, lol, but i bought this book and it is called "Give me 40 Days" and you make a list of the needs of others and your needs and then for 40 days you pray 40 minutes a day for others and in turn God will grant you the needs of your heart. So it is pretty intense but I think it will be soooo sweet in the end. Ha, and it was really crazy, made me laugh, that this past Wednesday and Thursday were Spiritual Emphasis days. We got ot chapel for 3 hours each day and there is a guest speaker and stuff liek that. Well, this guy came and he talked on making the heart beautiful....SO CRAZY!!!!! It is totally what i needed to hear so it was incredible. It was really challenging too and it made me realize i have some people that i need to forgive and appologize to and just things done...
So a guy is coming to look at the car today and do an estimate, that will be good. My friends are opening up to me more and it is beautiful. Me and Bri weren't doing that great last semester but she is acutally opening up and telling me things about herself so I am soo thankful for that, an answer to prayer. I am starting to maybe creep outside my comfort zone, i really need to just leep out and yah that's my biggest struggle right now. And yah everything is giong well. I too watched to superbowl, but i went to the States to a guy from the shcools house and it was fun. Super funny and great commercials, i loveit! And then after we played Guitar Hero and stuff liek that, so it was a really good time. So yah, this is long, so til next time...
