Photo shoooooooot.
Still don't really know what's wrong with me - but I'm still sick!!! The first day I was sick, I talked to a nurse over the phone and described my symptoms and she said it was probably just a sinus infection from a cold I had last week so I started this nasal spray thing and taking advil and it helped immediately. But I'm still exhausted all the time and I woke up yesterday morning with an ear infection. Suuuuck. This whole week has really been crazy on my body. I've been sleeping minimum 12 hours a night and my whole body is just sore and tired all the time. Howeeeeever, last night Hali and I got to get out and get some pictures taken so I'm going to put up a few. It was so nice to leave my bed for once and get all dolled up and showered. haha. I was looking pretty mangy and gross.
It's fine. We're just models now. It's not a big deal at all.

Prayer
I'm not really sure what's wrong with me. I've been really dizzy and randomly collapsing throughout the week ever since Friday night. I've also had a really hard time concentrating on school and I've been falling asleep anytime I get the chance to close my eyes. (ie. prayer... haha) I'm heading to the doctor this afternoon and would really appreciate some prayer for wisdom and for energy to come back into my body so I can go back to work and finish up my homework due tonight and tomorrow morning. Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate it. Unlike times past, I will send out a follow-up, rather than just leaving you hanging there, praying for me... haha. Love!

life.
I feel extremely bad I haven't updated this blog in so long. My life has been topsy-turvy for a couple of months now and I just now have about an hour that I have absolutely nothing to do, so I decided to finally update you all on what I have been up to this semester so far. In early January I started working at the nursing home I volunteered at last fall, I'm a breakfast server for the 6am shift. Waking up this early is a little bit of hell in itself for me, but I'm becoming accustomed to it. I work about 20 hours there, plus I am still working at my aunt's restaurant, the Junkyard Cafe about 15 hours a week as a waitress for one week night and weekend breakfasts and lunches. On top of working both these jobs, I've been taking 4 classes at Eternity Bible College. I'm about to finish up my 3rd week of school.
Doing all these things has really made me completely reliant upon God. There is no way I'd still have enough energy to wake up each morning without Him. This however, does not mean I haven't had countless emotional breakdowns. It has been extremely rough, but God always pulls me through and never gives me more than I can handle. I'm so grateful to have the roommates, brother, and friends that I do because they've been nothing but encouraging and helpful to me when I know I haven't been the funnest person to be around. Also, un-saved complete strangers I've met at both my jobs have turned out to be some of the biggest blessings in my life, which in all reality is a very humbling thought to see how God can use people like that to totally lift me up out of the slums. My best friend Angie was even actually able to visit me 2 weekends ago for exactly one day. Seeing her and just taking the day off--getting our noses pierced together, venting, crying, praying, singing, hugging and just laughing uncontrollably all day long was literally a gift from God at the perfect time. There was one point in the day when we walked into this piano shop that was going out of business and I got to play one of their studio pianos for about 20 minutes. I finished one of my songs and I looked up and I just had tears welling up in my eyes, realizing but never having thanked God for everything in this stage of my life right now - love, music, art, beauty, family, friends and always enough money to get by. I became so ashamed then, realizing how much I had been complaining about work when there are so many people in the world who would kill to have everything "together" like me. I've been struggling to maintain this mentality in my head, to remind myself of it everytime I find myself beginning to complain. Maybe I'll write it on the visor in my car? Basically, moral of the story is - my life is really good and I need to be more joyful about how I'm going to go about living it.
Anyway, these are just some unorganized bits and an overview of basically what's going on in my life right now. Hopefully another update will come soon - we'll just have to see though :)

Mondate
First of all no, that is not a typo. Monday is in fact our roomie date day. Today I spent with Hali (pronounced Hailey, not Hally) accomplishing great things. For real though, we conquer the world every Monday. It's quite impressive.
Subs from Simi Sub and chocolate coated marshmallows from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.
Proof of my mad skills at using timers. Forgot to focus on US, because it is always about us. Always.
More proof... I forgot to press the timer button before I clicked shoot.
Gwappi and Lolly--Our troll names for eachother.
I love my Gwappi.
Counting Crows..... or chasing them =)
This particular Monday was spent at the park with picnic food and Owl City.

Friends
It never ceases to amaze me how God has brought me to this particular place in my life and how He keeps bringing old friends back into my life to be a blessing and an encouragement right when I need it the most! I've only lived here for 2 months and I have already seen:
Kristie Haynes
Rebeca Aulie
Eric Walter
Matt Hires
and
Charlie and KT Miears
Last night Mike and I got to meet up with Charlie and KT for dinner. It was such a needed "time out" for me. I had had a 35 hour work week, which honestly wasn't too bad. But the day before I had had a 14 hour work day where nothing went as it should, so seeing old friends was a total blessing!

Provisions
Just wanted to update this tonight before I go to sleep, before I forget what this feels like. Yesterday our rent was due for the apartment, so I got online to look at my bank account to see how much money I had and if I had enough to pay it. After I wrote the check I counted up how much I would have left to live off of and it came to be around 30 dollars - Barely enough to tithe and grocery shop before my pay check finally comes around. This afternoon after I got back from work and an afternoon at the beach with my cousin, I come into the apartment to find a check on the table from a friend of my parents whom I have never met before for $200 AND a 10 dollar bill from my grandma.
It's so CRAZY how God provides so abundantly for His children right when they are need and in the CRAZIEST of ways.
"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?"
God is so good.
