| Hey guys!!! I'm graduating in a couple of days!!! This Saturday to be exact! WOW!!! Never thought these days would come! Anyway, I don't have much time to say anything, except, I won't be checking xanga for much longer because I don't have the internet at home. Right now I'm focusing on graduating, and packing to go home! I'm excited but also scared beyond all belief!!! I'm not really sure how to react. But I love all of you, and I'm praying for you, and I hope to come and visit!

| WOW!! I haven't written in a long time! Well, a quick update ~ I am engaged, getting married in May 2008. Finals are over, and I'm waiting to go home for Christmas. I want to be home so bad, and having to stay on campus until all the girls in my dorm leave stinks! But, I do get free meals... that's a plus! I got a new job in the DCP office on campus, and I graduate in May! Exciting stuff! I miss all my friends already when I think of graduating! I have a feeling, that when I'm free, I'm going to be on campus! (hopefully)  I also start my directed teaching next semester, and I'm psyched! The kids in my placement are awesome! I've had a chance to interact with them this past semester in my practicum!
I'm content in where God has me right now. But I do need some prayer! I'm so tired of the immaturity on campus! It is so hard to love some of these people! Those that have no respect for leadership on campus. They themselves want to be leaders, but don't want to do the work envolved! A big part of being a leader, is taking responsibility and stepping up to the task! If you can't do that, or you don't want to... back off!! Cause you will not make it as a leader. Start showing respect for those who have stepped up! Cause those people deserve more respect than you do! And if you were in their position, which you will never know what it is like, you would demand more respect than you are showing! And if you ever get to that point of being in someone else's shoes, remember how you treated them and how it feels now to have people doing the same to you! I guess I'm not the only one that needs prayer. This campus needs it too...

| So I need to write something new, but I have no time. So maybe I'll write something later!

| How insane is this???? I'm back at school for my final year, my
sister from Pittsburgh is moving to Lancaster, actually the Lititz
area, my other sister is married, another one of my sisters has a new
job, and my finger is weighed down by the most gorgeous engagement ring
I could have prayed for. God is blessing my life and those around
me for no better reason then that He is God! I don't know if I
needed the reminder, but God has truly showed me these past couple of
weeks that He is God, and I can trust Him through everthing. I
mean I didn't know how much more I could actually trust Him when Justin
told me I would have to wait longer for the engagement ring. At
that point I didn't know what to expect, and I was trying to figure it
out myself. Good thing God doesn't give us what we think we need
or want. As soon as I decided that this engagement wasn't mine to
control, Justin got a deal on a ring, and asked me to marry him.
I love that God dangles things in our face, to get us to release all
our cares, and than all of a sudden he gives it to you. All of
you who don't have older siblings this won't make any sense to you but
this analogy might make alittle bit more sense. It's like an
older sibling, taking your favorite stuffed animal and threatening not
to give it back, and you jump and jump to get it, but they keep doing
that hand lifting thing whenever you get close enough. So finally
you give up and realize you have no power over what they do. They
get bored then and give it back. That is a funny way to explain
it, but that is what I feel God has completely done for Justin and I.
I love this idea of being married to Justin. The ring he picked,
and the way he proposed is amazing. I feel so happy, and light
headed. I do need prayer though guys! Even though we are
not going to get married until May 2008, I'm already distracted between
work, school, RA stuff, and now an engagement. I'm having a hard
time concentrating. I'm fighting every urge to go online, and
look for dresses and such. I would appreciate the prayers.
I mean this isn't a bad thing, but Justin and I don't want and actually
can't buy or pay for anything until after Christmas. That's also
another prayer request. We are both still in school, and the
bills I'm afraid are not getting any smaller... That would almost have
to be a miracle. Oh God, Thank you for the amazing life you are
going to give Justin and I. I can't wait to see how you further
your kingdom through us!!

| Today is my last day of class. I just gotta power through this exam, one last assignment, and a ten page paper this weekend. It's not going to be fun, but God has a plan for me, and I'm excited to start teaching full time next week! I love my job! Pray for me the rest of the summer. The family is good, and the problems at church aren't presenting a problem right now. It's been a blessing to watch my dad react to the whole situation, and I've been praying with him through it! Praise God for the time to bond with my father! I miss everyone so much, and I have a feeling I'll be ready when school needs to start up again! | | |
