...

so. life is going to be crazy these next few days. and when i say crazy, i mean crazy. i have two tests this week, projects due, and other obligations....today i have class, leadership, study group, bible study, and lots of studying for a test tomorrow. eek. i thought i didn't push it all until the last minute, but i'm starting to see that i might have actually done just that.

s0-my next post will come wednesday afternoon. shortly after i come out of my first anatomy and physiology test. i cannot wait for that moment. just fourty-eight hours away! yay! this weekend was a fabulous weekend. seeing my family always makes me happy. we were playing ninja in the foyer area of our house as a family and it was truly magnificent. it just reminded me as to why my family is so wonderful. i also got to hear my dad sing a solo at church, a very enoyable thing i'm lucky i was home for :).

i didn't watch the superbowl. i know, am i american? and i'll tell you, i am. hah. i actually had a friend drop by on his way back home and we watched a movie and caught up. it was really nice. well-lots of stuff going on. trying to organize my month before i leave for nicaragua. still pray for me as i make financial decisions for the trip. i am super pumped to be used by the Lord in Nicaragua! okay-signing off for a few days. catch up soon.

but, i will leave this post today with a quote from john piper:

"self-forgetfullness in the presence of the Greatness of God brings us complete joy"
-God is not an ego-maniac. He desires for everything to bring Him glory (including our entire lives), in order that we may have our joy made complete. And God knows the only way that is possible is when we are totally glorifying Him. tough pill to swallow, get some water.
