Ponderings

Well, I've officially accepted an acceptance to a college. I'm not sure if there's a better way state that, but if there is no one ever told me! :p

But since I've mailed back my rooming information sheet and signed Honor Code, it's all set in to a different level of reality. Like I mean, it feels.. "real" now. Like there's nothing more I can do to slow time down, it's coming whether I'm ready or not. I keep getting this intense desire to go through my boxes in storage, even though that's virtually impossible to do since I don't think our exchange student would overly appreciate me taking over her room for a week. :p Which makes me at least want to put it on a "To-Do List" but whats the chance I'd actually -FIND- that To-Do List come summer? I mean really? It would end up in a pile of school papers that accidentally gets thrown away I'm sure, or something of the sort.. knowing me.

This spring seems to just be pilling up, I really need to get a job, but at this point I'm not sure I have time to! My Youth Group is headed to Puerto Rico come Mid-July! Please be praying for us as we attempt to fund raise about $1000 dollars a person... Youch. But we can do it, With God all things are possible! :) We are already putting into motion the dinner theater to be held the 2nd weekend of April, we are all very excited about putting on another play!

I've also been putting in a lot of hours at the Library lately, I seem to get myself pulled into a lot of volunteering, but I love it! I love all the time I spend at the library, it's also been fun seeing the teen programs grow and expand since we first started meeting a few years back.

School is as always an all consuming presence in life. My hope and desire is to be completely done by May 14th, as I will be graduating that day! My open house will take place that morning and the actual graduation ceremony will be after that. I think my mom would like a large more "Traditional" type thing, I'm just glad that I'm not making any speeches. :p It's already embarrassing enough as it is... :p

As this spring rushes past I hope to treasure the time I have with my family and with my brothers, and that maybe leaving won't be oh, so horribly hard? No, leaving will be hard, and I guess that's good. I love my family so-so-so much... :)

In Christ I stand

Seasons come and seasons go - Most of the time

The following is a statement from our daytime/weekend weather man.  "Keyc Mankato Snow Facts about our notable season: Since November 1st, 84.5 inches of snow. That's nearly 30" more than what we had last year (56.5", which seemed like a lot!) We've had snow on the ground since November 13th. That's nearly 4 months of snow... 1/3 of the year! -Meteorologist Mitch Keegan" Now don't take me wrong. I LOVE winter. It is by far my fav season. But most of our seasons aren't normally this long, we have lots of "in-between seasons". The truth? I'm tired of having to wear sunglasses anytime I'm outside to not be blinded by the sheer whiteness of everything. I'd like to see some green, and wear a t-shirt without a hoodie. pretty please? Oh And well.. even with our 25 foot dikes they're really worried about flooding. :( North Mankato is well below the dike line and there's already talk of people moving stuff out of the...

I Believe In A Lie

Everyone has a lie that plays in the back of their head so often that they don't know when they started believing it, or where the lie came from, it's just a recognized fact. My lie is that I am alone in the world.  I don't think anyone ever told me that I was alone in the world, or that it was my job to protect myself from the universe, but it is most definitely how my brain has functioned for as long as I can remember. Wherever I've moved or whoever I'm around, this lie follows me. As I've gotten older I have come to a place in life where I recognize that this is a lie, and some days I can even not believe it. But still, this lie persistently lives in my head. I think I can say with confidence that this is a lie of the enemy that I will fight the rest of my life.  Recently, this lie has been winning more battles than I care to admit. Let me explain. You see, throughout college, God was pushing me and molding me. Part of this molding was le...

I battle not against flesh...

" Finally,  be strong in the Lord and in  the strength of his might. Put on  the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against  the schemes of the devil. For  we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against  the rulers, against the authorities, against  the cosmic powers over  this present darkness, against  the spiritual forces of evil  in the heavenly places. Therefore  take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in  the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore,  having fastened on the belt of truth, and  having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and,  as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up  the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all  the flaming darts of  the evil one; and take  the helmet of salvation, and...
