All of You

"All of You, Is more than enough for, all of me
For every thirst and every need,
You satisfy me with Your love,
And all I have in you, is more than enough."

I find that the more I grow in my relationship with the Lord, the more I realize my complete dependence on Him and in Him. The more I get to know Him, His heart and will for my life, the more time I want to spend in His presence and I need more of Him. I love falling in love with the Lord and seeing and experiencing all the things He has for me! I serve an incredible God!

The past few weeks have been to full! I like it when there is always something to do. I like when I am busy. There's never a dull moment, that's for sure.

School is going great! I really am enjoying everything about school (except having to wake up so early :-/). It is great to go to a school where a handful of friends attend. It's a nice treat to randomly see them in the halls, in the library or walking around campus!

This semester I am working as a teacher's assistant with my Mom. I help monitor the sixth graders and help a little bit in the 1st and 2nd grade class. I love getting to see all the kids and be a part of their week! They are all so cute and so fun!

The past week has been filled with so many great moments! I got to go to sporting events three nights in a row! That was awesome! Got to make a surprise visit! Got the grades for a few tests that I had taken! I also got to spend a lot of quality time with the people I love the most! I am excited to see what God has in store for this upcoming week!

Ciao,

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school. My schedule went a little something like this:

900 - 955 Sociology: Intro to Marriage and Family

1000 - 1055 Intro to Sociology

1100 - 1155 English Composition

1200 - 1430 Long break!

1440 - 1555 Quantitative Skills and Reasoning

1600 Go Home!!!!

And that's my schedule for Monday and Wednesday. Except on Friday, I only have my three morning classes.

God has been so faithful and has provided for every thing! I was able to buy all my books (6 different books) for the whole semester for $204.90! That is awesome because some books alone cost $100 or more! Praise God for His provision!

More of an update coming soon!

Bullet Points

In bullet points are the activities of this past week!

• Watching Cole and Coen Cardelli this week. Which includes playing chase around the house, listening to silly boy jokes, swimming for 100 minutes and lots of apple juice.
  

• Being sick with a sinus infection. Not very fun at all! Taking lots of medicine, drinking lots of water and staying in bed! But I did get lots of sleep and I am starting to feel a lot better! Just a few more days and then I'll be 100% myself!

• David and Sarah Van Akkeren came and spent the week at our house! We met the Van Akkeren's in California and it was great to see them again and spend time with them!

• Noah turned 12 years old! We had a great time celebrating and watching him open presents! He's not taller than me...yet. But he will be soon! It's only a matter of time now!

I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend! And that this upcoming week is wonderful!

For The Ladies

I stumbled across a website today and read this article and I thought that you'd enjoy reading this. What was so great about it was the bottom line of the article! I hope you enjoy reading this article!

What?!

Oh my gosh! It's already August! I don't know about you, but from where I stand, time has gone by so very fast! It seems like yesterday that I was packing up to move to DC. Now in two weeks I'll be starting school! Wow! I guess the saying, "Time flies when you are having fun" really is true! :)

I hope you all have been having a great summer and no matter how much time you have until school starts, I hope you enjoy it!

Whirlyball: Part II

Ok...
Whirlyball was canceled for me. So I didn't end up going. But I will explain this new game to you all as best I can.

Whirlyball is a combination of bumper cars and basketball, with a few twists. There are two teams on the court at once. You ride around a court in a bumper car and each player has a (as my brother put it) "plastic ball catcher/thrower" which is used to pass the ball around and shoot goals. On either end of the court there is a backboard with a 12 inch hole in the back. The team's goal is to make as many baskets/goals as possible in the 13 minutes of each round.

If you want to check it out, go here and see for yourself!

Maybe one day I'll play whirlyball for real! And then take pictures! And then you can see!

Whirlyball!

Tonight we are going with the Allen's to play whirlyball for Mr. Bill's birthday!
I have never played before, but I hear it is a ton of fun!
I'll let you know how it goes later!

Pictures to follow? Possibly.
