‎"He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed" -1 Peter 2:24

Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

spring is here!

This picture is from our website but is pretty accurate of how campus has been looking lately. The weather has been wonderful which really helps keep me in a good mood! :-)

As most of you guys know, I was sick last weekend and am still trying to get over that. I have a bunch of stuff in my chest still and soccer has been really tough this week. But I am definitely feeling much better now and am very happy about it. It's impossible to keep up with everything when you're sick...and in college, at least at Covenant, when you miss a day or two of classes and you can't do any schoolwork for a few days, you get SO BEHIND! I have been playing catch up non-stop since I've felt up to doing schoolwork. It's been crazy and I still feel like I'm sinking in over my head. But I'm going to use this weekend to catch up on everything and maybe even get ahead. These last few weeks of school are going to be tough to press through, but can you believe I will be a SENIOR in about 3 weeks? I can't. Where has the time gone?!

it's official!

My friend Courtney drove me to Nashville last night for a "surprise"...I got there and my mom, greg and the kids were waiting at the Cheesecake Factory for my birthday dinner! So this picture was taken there, with my first alcoholic beverage, of age.

Courtney and I went downtown to try and see if there were any places open that looked worth going to but on a Tuesday night there wasn't all that much to do. So we just drove back to Chattanooga, but I am looking forward to celebrating with my friends this weekend back in St. Louis!!

well that was quick...

2 posts ago I was beginning the countdown to my 21st birthday and now it's only 4 days away. How does that happen? Where does the time go? I guess that's what everyone's thinking in regards to my birthday coming up. Where has my life gone!? I can't believe I'm almost 21 years old. What's after that?....nothing exciting, that's what.

My spring break was great. Good to be home. Good to see everyone. Good to be with my friends. I wish the weather could have been a little better while I was home, but it was still a good break even with the unexpected snowfall on Monday.

Up next: I'm just trying to get through this week (including my bday :-)) so that I can come home again next weekend! I'm driving home on Friday afternoon so that I can celebrate with my good friends from back home. My roommate here, Emily, was going to come back with me, but she has volleyball practice. And I was going to have my old roommate, Courtney, come back if she could but she's in season right now with softball so she has 2 games on Saturday. So...it looks like I'll be flying solo! Should be a fun weekend though. :-)

I hope everyone had a great week!! It's been beautiful here the past few days which always puts me in a great mood. Today between work and class I had 2 hours to just sit outside and eat my lunch. It was WONDERFUL! Couldn't ask for a better day. Have a great weekend, everyone! Love you all.

future teacher...haha

kind of blurry but I have a job interview thing tonight with different principals from all around the nation...some from Colorado, Florida, Georgia and even someone from Pakistan. Should be interesting! I'll let you know how it goes! It's tonight from 5:45pm-9pm. 

and the countdown begins...

21 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

long night ahead

I have 5 scholarly journal articles to read for my "essentials of instruction class" and a one-page "response" for each of them including comparison to class material....all due tomorrow at 1pm.

The catch is I have an 8am presentation (which is why I'm just now starting the 5 article write-ups) as well as a class at 9:30a that I have to go to also because we have an exam on Thursday. Should be a fun night. I've got my cup of coffee ready to go....won't be getting much sleep tonight. :-/
