As requested, here are some pictures!!


This is me at the beach...illegally sitting in the lifeguard stand!














Me and Amber our last night of SuperWOW.

Back-to-School Blues

So long sweet summer...

Even though school doesn't start until the 28th, it feels like summer is already over. I just got an email from a professor. This semester is going to be rough...

There is so much I have to do and I'm sure not enough time to do it!

finish my independent study...be at volleyball practices and games...study for and take the GRE...finish my proficiencies...find out about and apply to grad schools...go to a million weddings...

whew! It makes me tired just typing it all. Even though I have so much to do, I have to keep a few things in mind...

1. God is God and I am not. Meaning, that I am not all-powerful, wise, perfect, and true.
I MUST remember that.

2. He has a purpose and a plan for my life...Jeremiah 29:11

3. It is ok to not understand and I don't always have to have all the answers...Isaiah 555:8-9

4. RELAX

5. Don't procrastinate!

As much as I'm dreading the start of a new semester, I know that it is the beginning of the end- my last year of college! What I do this year will dictate where I go and what happens next year...there are important decisions to be made...and as scary as that is, it makes me a little excited!

So here is good bye to a great summer and hello to a new beginnings!



"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58

Update

As I cannot sleep again, I will do a brief recap of the week:

• preseason volleyball = 2 practices aday...we'll just say I'm logging in lots of clinical hours before the semester even starts...(but my CI and the girls are great; so far so good!)
• photo shoot...I bet you guys didn't know I was a model! SHOCKER! (don't really believe that because I'm not one, but I will be appearing in a brochure for UNF)
• CPR and first aid recerticication...can't wait to get my new card!
• doctor's appointment concerning my knee = it's healing great! I can even start jogging! WOO HOO!
• my brake lights are not working...boo...but I am getting to practice my hand signals
• I start back to work at Borders on Monday...actually looking forward to that!
• I FINALLY ordered tickets to see Jacks Mannequin and Copeland...so pumped about that!
• bought new shoes! faux Vans from Target...black with white starts...LOVE them!

That's all the exciting (and by exciting I mean mundane) things I did this week...

There is more I'd like to talk about, but I'm starting to get sleepy! YAY!

Just a little verse to express my happieness at being released to run...

"I RUN in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free." Psalm 119:32

Halleluia!

ZzzzZzzzZzzz

do you ever just lie in bed, wishing you could go to sleep?

thoughts running through your brain, one after the other after the other...

why? why? why?

this is new for me. i usually have no trouble sleeping...

and i don't like this at all.

i can now sympathize with those people on the sleep medicine commercials...

not being able to fall asleep = no fun!

and it seems that these bouts of insomnia come at the most inopportune times!

here is my current thought...thanks to my dear friend cindy...
"I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me." Psalm 3:5

good night to you...

...and hopefully soon for me...
