Where's the Pause Button???

Do you ever have one of those days where everything seems to go wrong? Each step you take something more is discovered that pushes another needle into your side. Well tonight was and still is one of those days. I came off of a wonderful weekend with my family. Everything went right; I had fun, and was able to get tons of time to relax and just be free. But ever since I got back to Mankato, nothing seems right. Adam's birthday is today, so I began to try to figure out what to do with that, which ends in one friend not being able to make it and me frazzled from calling people a million and a half times. Then comes the meeting tomorrow about the Lake Party that I only remembered after being reminded of. With that comes the skit that needs to be ready for CRU tomorrow night, and the food that needs to be planned out for Saturday, and all the other plans for the weekend needing to be layed out. Communication, something that is so VITAL in the continuation of any type of relationship, falls at my feet when I get a call and hour before I am supposed to have Bible study telling me that I am not going to be in her Bible study, but in another. I was supposed to be told this awhile ago when the decision was made, but that obvioulsy didn't happen. Oh and with this other Bible study that I am now in, I don't even know what day or time it is meeting, and what is worse is that neither does the person who told me I was in it. I haven't even said anything about my homework, which by the way blows big time! I don't know where to being with my Geometry homework. I am really getting scared that math really isn't where God wants me since I am having so much trouble with it lately. I have never had a problem with it, and with in this last year they are the hardest of all the classes I have. Tonight, when I walked out to get into my car, I could barely get into the door because of how close the guy next to me parked to my car. On top of that, the whole outside of my driver's side door is covered in pop from whoever thought it would be funny to through it there. This is just driving me nuts that my day has been turned around like this. I know that I really shouldn't be worrying about all of it, or stressing out, because God has a plan in all of it and it isn't to see me get hurt. But why me, why tonight, why???

A long time coming...

It has been forever since I have written anything on here! I can't believe that the last entry is from when I was in France, in JULY! Well here goes it. So much has been happening to me the last month, so super exciting stuff, some not so great. I will begin with the present and hopefully be able to fill in the past later. (And no that is not I will write about tomorrow last night Ms. Banfiled.) So last night was the first CRU meeting of the year, and I have never seen so many people excited for the Lord in a while. I had 9 girls come with me to the meeting and they all had an awesome time. I just can't believe the wonderful oppurtunity the Lord has given me this year to seek out followers and begin relationships with them. And many of the girls that came with me, asked me about going before I got the chance to even ask them! Also I meant Sinikha, who is a super awesome christian girl from Finland. I really hope that the Lord takes all these relationships further; which I know will happen. This year is just going to bring a change about this campus that no one has seen before. And the that change is going to be for God; what a wonderful time to be living here!!!!
