3 Good Things

#1 - I got one of my dance costumes for my SDW piece - someone must have been very ontop of their game in sending it so quickly to me, so thank you :)


#2 - I had four people instead of 2 people at my bible study - I think it helped that I sent out an e-mail that morning of letting everyone know what is happening this week in the CCCF, thank you Lord :)

#3 - One person came to my program - I advertised the day of and the message got out to one person, in which we were able to bond, so I was very tickled because we got to write letters to my brother and his buddies :)

3 Good Things

I returned from my RA staff meeting and my Hall Director explained that she is taking positive psychology. She will continue to interpret everything that she learns in class and apply it to our RA meetings, in which I am super stoked about!

Anyways, it was explained to try an exercise where we have to write 3 good things after dinner and before bed. Then evaulate each one and come up with an idea as to how it started such as ex: My cousin is going to have a baby - I know that God will help see her through on this one

So, I am pretty excited to try it and lower my negative thoughts and build my positive thoughts because it applies to every one, it doesn't matter how rich or wealthy you are. Everyone needs it and everyone makes a choice :)


#1 I got my packet with info to start my trip to Salerno, Italy! - God has really shown me a lot and He will continue to work through me with helping me with all my financial things, such as Fundraising for this trip, because He is awesome like that :)

#2 I got Senior Project Ideas - I met with a wonderful Psychology Professor and he gave me some suggestions of how I can approach my Senior Project since I want to incorporate the brain :)

#3 My brother wrote on my Facebook Wall - I haven't talked to him in months and I get to see him around my birthday, I am praying that everything goes well and that I will be able to see him :)

I am thoroughly enjoying all this positiveness and it works a lot especially since my Junior Year is going quite fabulous, thank you Lord!

Off to catch up on my reading for the Bible, God's words are super-duper-awesomeness!

A Dream.

Lately I have been struggling with trying to figure out what I do with my senior dance project and I have some great ideas, I am just not so sure if I am keen on them or not. I want to be able to do a project where I will be really enjoying myself from the start to the finish.

Last night I had a dream that I had a glimpse of my senior project and it was weird, like most dreams usually are. But I was actually kind of intrigued by it, there were a lot of people in my piece and I can' remember who, I just remember they were from Cedar Crest and possibly somewhere else as well.

I remember that there was this one acting scene, really short and all these people that were in it had to pair up in two's and read the lines over and over again. Each time they would read it they would have to change it up a little bit and do something different every time. I remember being partnered with a woman who had blonde kinky curly hair and I am pretty sure she goes to Cedar Crest, but like I said it was pretty fuzzy.

We did this scene over and over again, it was on this huge stage and it was like a double stage with just a think piece of wood in between. But I remember looking out into the audience and seeing all of the performing arts directors from Cedar Crest. I remember them commenting how it was good and that it still needed more work, but that I was going somewhere with it. I also remember the lighting being really dark and grim.

Anyways, that was my dream or what I remember of it. I am hoping that the Lord will help my creative mind in so many ways in that way that I am able to come up with a good Senior Project and that I will keep having hope  in him in so many ways, because I love performing for Him :)

Inspiration...

Day 1 - Trust

I trust Luke.
I trust myself.
I trust the Lord.

Luke and I are trying this thing where we don't talk on the phone, text, or post on each other's walls on FB, because we want to slow down our feelings towards each other and focus more on God. So every time we think of each other, we have to think of God in place of thinking of each other :)

I would definitely have to say that we established this Monday night (1/31/2011) and so yesterday since there was no college :) I spent time thinking about him, but instead of I thought of the Lord and started catching up on some of my bible reading, it was pretty fab!

Since we didn't have college yesterday, I still held my bible study group and our topic was "Trust" and so our whole focus was on that passage [Interruption mode - "Come on Get Higher" by Matt Nathanson just came on pandora and it is making me think of Luke and I am laughing because I know why God is doing this, yeah I love the Lord because he makes me smile :)] Anyways, so the focus was on Trust and the infamous passage "Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto thine own understanding" -Proverbs 3:5

I realize that with the simpleness of not talking to Luke for a week will be a challenge, but also allow me to focus more on the Lord and trust that He knows exactly what He is doing with Luke and I :) It is a nice feeling, because I like focusing more on God sometimes when I haven't been recently and I must say that I have missed going on a date with my man the Lord :)


I trust You with all my heart Heavenly Father,
lead me,
guide me
direct me,
I am Yours,
Forever&Always
<3

Salerno, Italy

On January 28th, I received a call from one of the project director's for Campus Crusade for Christ who told me that they wanted to speak to me!

I called Luke last that night and was freaking out, because I was so nervous as to what they were going to tell me. Then I told him I couldn't call back on the 29th of January because I have this weird thing with 9's. Luke told me to suck it up and get over my thing with 9's and call them back to find out if I got accepted or not. Yes, I listened to him because he was right and I was just being ridiculous.

I called back on Saturday January 29th and so many things were racing through my mind such as "what if we aren't on the same time zone" "what if it is too late and they gave it to someone else?" ....yeah I was freaking out just a little. So, I took a deep breath and called back...no answer, so I naturally started freaking out again with a zillion things racing through my head. I then took a deep breath and said a simple prayer and a few minutes later I get a call...they called to tell me that I was accepted into going to Salerno, Italy!

When I heard that I was going to go to Italy, I cried and cried and just couldn't stoop crying because the Lord blessed me with a dream that I have wanted to do for a long time! I have wanted to get out the country, but I have wanted to go to Italy for a long time as well. I know what makes it even more awesome is that I get to help plant seeds and reach out to others and let them know how awesome the Lord really is!

The Lord has a lot in store for me, he answered a dream of mine, but in return I am reaching out to others and so the Lord and get to go on an adventure together :) I am pretty excited to spend some time with my man the Lord :)

As a start I kind of need a passport first, which I have scheduled to get one on February 17th at 1:00 pm. I need my ds-11 form, birth certificate, 2 personal checks, a passport photo from either Walgreens or Walmart and then the appointment! I am just praying everything will still go as planned and I will be keeping everyone posted as to what I am doing for this in order to fundraise :)



I am excited to get my packet and excited for the start of my adventure!...Thank You Lord :)
