My weekend

Had a wonderful weekend even though parts of it were confusing and emotional. I hung with another friend, as well my groupies from NWC and than ending the weekend with my bestie :)  I have missed them so much. We went on a historical museum boat in Excelsior, Mn on sunday and than went out to dinner. Our friend adam is the captain, so we had fun on there. I also spent the night, so it was plenty of time to catch up. It was full of fun, laughs, learning how to properly dance in the car ;), blaring songs in the car ride back to the dorm hall...I also bumped into friends i hadnt seen in forever, and I got the biggest hugs. I didnt think I would be that missed...it was a great feeling.

I also had a lot of time to think about things this weekend. I had to ponder some things that are going on in my life. It's good things but its also complicated at the same time, and there are diff things involved with it. God was faithful though an answered some of that pondering on Monday morning. :) God is amazing like that. Even blessed me with a job interview at Famous Daves that I had today, and that went wonderfully. The manager said i was a strong candidate for the job but if I dont hear back by next week i know I didnt get the job, so please pray. I really need a job, and I am really hoping it is working there...Enjoy some photos from the boat ride on sunday.

Some Thoughts

Lake Michigan

So this is our last day here, tomorrow we leave bright and early and head back home :) I am looking forward to it, i have been gone the last three weeks. Time up here as been great, fun, stressful, too much time to think about things. As much as I think about thinks I am realizing that i have to pray constantly about it, in time God will show me his plan for it, and I have to remember things will get solved in time.

My sisters and Me

I just found out that I didnt get into North Central...which was a huge disappointment, cause that is the one i really wanted to be in. I am still waiting to here back from the community college, but i need to find a job asap to pay for everything. Please pray that God would show me what to do because I have been so overwhelmed and stressed out with everything at me.

I am going to miss it up here. Its peaceful, quiet, time to think, beautiful, and i have some fun memories up here when i hung with my friend from college, we even called our other friend on skype and talked to the person for three hours :) It was tons of fun. I am looking forward to going back though cause a week from tomorrow my college friends are having an all day get together and i was invitied so i get to see all of them. I have missed each and everyone of them...i totally bringing my camera next week when we hang :)

One of my big worries with not going back to NWC, was that I would lose all my wonderful friends i made this last year when I was there. Talking to one friend, they let me know just because i am not going to be there doesn't mean i'm not still part of our group. It made my day, and made me realize that these friends I have made, are going to be my friends for life. I don't know what I would do without them. They are awesome, crazy, fun, sweet and just themselves and most of all they are real and on fire for Jesus XD

Anyways this blog was just a bunch of randomness that has been going thru my head with a bunch of other things that i dont want to type out....Stillwater i'm coming back home :)

Photos from today

Went to Lake Michigan, An Energy Plant, and a World War 2 Submarine museum. These are the pics from today. Tomorrow going into Green Bay and hanging with my friend....so excited XD

Arrival

So yesterday my sisters and I left with my grandparents and took off to come to Green Bay, Wi area...we left at 10am and didnt get up here till 5:30pm....Longest day of my life...it felt like the boredom monsters were attacking...lol. It felt great to get sleep last night, i had about 10 1/2 hours XD The night before I only had three, and couldnt fall a sleep in the car on the way here, so last night was amazing lol. We are staying at Foxhill Resort which is 15 miles south of Green Bay and 5 miles from Lake Michigan I guess (which we are going to visit one of the days I am up here)....Right now it is beautiful and sunny out here. I believe it is around 70 degrees out. I am sitting by the outside pool, and just soaking up some sun....fun stuff. Tomorrow or Wednesday I am connecting with my wonderful friend Sarah, and we will be going to the amusement park in Green Bay :) That will be tons of fun, and it will be fun to see her. I miiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss her so much. I only have internet when I am near the pool so I will try to get on when I can and update you guys withwhat is going and add some photos from this vacation :)

Life :)

So this is my first time doing a post on here....so excited to get this started. :) XD So life is stressful. A year ago everything was perfect, and now i have no clue where I am going to college, have all sorts of things coming at me, and hoping everything becomes clear soon. I am drawing close to God during all of this, which is a good, perfect and amazing thing. Going to church, reading the bible, and being in a bible study has been a big help this summer.

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."

Philippians 4:4-7 "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard  your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

These two bible verses have been very helpful this summer, and they have been a great reminder that I need to give it up to God. He knows the best path for me, and in time he will show that to me. I also am learning patience, even though its been a struggle this summer i am learning it.

These last two weeks, and this coming week are a vacation for me. I have been babysitting my two buddies these last two weeks. That has been priceless, fun, cute, and we just bond even closer than we were. This coming week I am heading to Green Bay, Wisconsin with my sisters Chelsey and Katie along with my grandparents. We will be there a full week. I get to see one of my dear friends from college, go swim in Lake Michgian, go to an amusement park, amongst other things :) I am looking forward to it.  I will update as much as I can so you guys know how things are going.

Love,
