Home at last

I am home...well my other home, good old Rohnert Park. I made it here after all day of preparing to drive here, then actually driving here. It was a long day but I'm happy to see my family, I missed them.

I've been relaxing since school got out and it has been soooo nice...no homework, tests, papers, work...nothing...I am free, for the meantime. Crocheting has become my relaxation lately...I've been doing a lot of it, mainly to make Christmas presents but it is also very enjoyable.

Sunday at the Stirring was really good. 1. We had the kids Christmas performance...they all got up on stage and sang Christmas songs and did hand motions. It was so cute, and it went much better than last year...no kids jumping off stage or fighting on stage.

2. The message was really good. It was about making time for relationships out of your busy schedule...the busy part doesn't apply to me so much because I'm not that busy...but the part about building deep friendships did. I want to go deeper with my friendships...i don't want to be a shallow person with surface relationships. I want to really connect with people and learn to love deeply. I feel like I am so self-centered and everything I do revolves around me, but I don't want that. I want to focus on other people and building relationships and pouring into people. I want to love unconditionally like Jesus loved. I find myself being judgmental and pushing away from people. I don't want to be that kind of person. I want to be broken...I want to break for other people...I want to be broken of myself...I want to have Jesus' heart for people. I don't want my selfish heart but Jesus' loving and passionate heart.

I want to be fully broken by Jesus.

FINALS have arrived...

Finals week has arrived and is now almost over. I have completed 5 out of my 6 finals and my last one is tomorrow morning. I feel pretty confident about the finals I have already done, now I'm hoping I get overall good grades.

Something I am very excited about is that I got accepted onto the Kenya summer mission team for this coming summer. I am so glad I got accepted and now I can't wait to go. I know there is going to be stress involved with the whole trip but I think it will be well worth it to be able to go to Africa. I've never been on a mission trip before and I am anxious to get a feel for it, and I'm also relieved to get out of America! I want so badly to live in another culture, and I will finally get to do that.

So yay Kenya and boo finals...but Christmas break is almost here.

School=LAME

I realized I am not doing good in some of my classes...that is not good seeing how it is the end of the semester.

I failed a test...didn't turn in a few homeworks...forgot about the take home test...was absent a lot...and had no motivation to get my work done. Aaah shoooot. That's all I can say.

The stress is just beginning! FINALS next week and I have so much to do...a lot of extra credit to get my grades up.

Oh and the fun begins...why did I procrastinate???
