Typical Me

So, like I explained in my first post....this isn't going to be easy for me to remember to do.

Every time I thought about blogging the past few weeks there was always something else that needed to get done, someone else that wanted me to hang out, or sleep to catch up on.

As promised, this semester has been incredibly busy and it's not really looking like it will get any better. I guess that's what happens when you have 19 credits, a job, a recital coming up (April 20! Save the date!), and various miscellaneous other tasks that seem to call my name all of the time.

Today in Bible study we were discussing how easy it is to get off of our schedule. We may be successful in scheduling time for God, but somehow once one thing changes, we forget. And once we forget once...well...it's easy to continue forgetting. That's not only how I feel about my devotional life, but about this blog as well. Ironic. I'm not taking time out of my life to do things that bring joy to me.

But, here I am yet again. A stressed student asking for prayers.
     1. For my continuous studies as they seem to never end and the first tests that will be coming up within the next 2 weeks.
     2. For my extra curricular to be enjoyable and to not add to the stress level.
     3. For God to use people in my life to help me even if I claim I do not want or need the help.
     4. For rest.
     5. For the anxiety levels to stay down.
Yes, there's quite the theme here...but, I can do it! God tells me I can do ALL things through Him!

Updates from when I last blogged (or at least the important ones I can remember):
    1. I got to meet Hope, the newest sister to Faith and Joy. They are family friends of the Copelands (yes, there are actually girls affiliated with the Copeland family!) I cannot wait to see Hope again....babysitting opportunities better come!
    2. A surprise visit from Josh! The guy actually got me!!! This will go down in history!
    3. Multiple viewings of Pitch Perfect and some awesome nails compliments of Sarah.
    4. A package from Mamma and Pappa complete with way too many snacks. :)
    5. A dozen roses from Joshua for Valentine's day....another record! This kid keeps surprising me. :)
    6. A valentine card from the one, the only, Danielle! I was literally tearing up when I read it. That girl is simply awesome!

Well, it's time for me to finish other things, but there was a short update! I tried to put in pictures, but failed. I will attempt to make that work next time. :)
