I'm home!

This past week was absolutely crazy with the sisters! I had a lot of fun and met some incredible people. And guess what! I am incredibly, deeply in love with Jesus Christ, He is quite the gentleman.
I strained my knee while I was on the retreat and with the injury I was able to spend more time with the sisters there. It ended up being just what needed to happen. (crazy how He always knows just what we need) :)
I hope everyone has been getting the rain that they needed this spring. It is slowly coming together here, the rain totals are slowly adding up to where they need to be. Have a wonderful week and I will remember all of you in Mass tomorrow morning. Peace and goodnight!

Almost there

It is a few days before my big trip to Nashville and I am getting the pre trip jitters, checking and double checking the information for it. Making sure that I actually got that flight confirmation number, do I have enough money to get everything that I need for the trip, what if this goes wrong, what if that goes wrong? And I really just need to sit back and let God take the stage. So, to help me and you guys do that, I thought I would post one of my favorite songs.

Not failing!

So, the one class I mentioned failing in? I got a C, which means I passed it and there is still hope left on this earth for me. I am exciting my trip to Nashville is coming up soon and I cannot wait to get going. I also have about a million other things to finish up before the trip but they can wait. I finally remembered to bring my coworker a DVD, and chocolate, and water bottles. Let's  just say it was a very long and late day yesterday. Getting the store all fixed up and looking pretty. Fun but late.
I am ready for the summer to officially kick off. I want the hot summer temps and I want to go buy a new swimsuit and bask in the hot summer sun. I want to go swimming and to feel the smooth cool water roll across my skin as I am completely immersed in the water. I am just a tad bit of a lover of summer.
Have a wonderful day and a blessed beginning to the weekend.

Finals are done!!

Finals are done and the grades that I was unsure about are posted. The other grade is not posted but I am fairly certain I failed it, so ya. And right now I am waiting for Yahoo to load so that I can get on and update my students grades. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and I finally have time to update the grades.

Other than that, I have been working diligently at my new day job and loving it, I get to work with shoes all day so it's all good. Just wanted to say hello, nothing too special or enlightening. Have a great day. I do have a real quick poem for you.

Training
To sword fight
To hit and clank and bang
To feel the thrill of battle
To fell your enemy
Oh,
But to sword fight

To fire a bow and arrows
To feel the sing of the string
To see the target and feel like a king
To breathe and move as one
Oh,
But to fire a bow

To pick up a dagger and go
To hide the weapons
To move quickly and deftly
To feel the quick satisfaction
Like sinking your teeth
Oh,
But to pick up a dagger and go

To feel the thrill of the chase
To defend your honor and race
To protect family, health, and well-being
To train as a prince for a king
To feel the thrill of the chase.

The year is almost over and I am feeling it.

I have this nifty app on my phone that helps me study with biology flash cards, only my phone has decided not to let me log into it anymore. So, instead I am writing right before the test so as to refrain from freaking out. It is all good, I have one more test today and then two tomorrow night and then I am done. Completely and totally done with the school year. And boy has it been long. From literally failing Calc 1, I'm a Mathematics education major, to nearly crying because my group of girls from English, we have managed to get the same professor and class both semester, are nearly completely splitting up. One is headed to a different college next semester and I might be headed out of state and some of the other girls are going their separate ways.

I think I've finally stepped out of Neverland and am falling head first into adulthood. It is frightening and I am unsure of myself. I no longer know for sure what is going on, except that God has control. And it might not all be okay but He is there and guiding my every way, so I know that what I am doing, even if I completely mess up, is forgivable and all part of the plan.

Just to commemorate the end of the school year because tomorrow night I will be way too tired to write, here is a clip of my new favorite recording of this song. I heard it first on Cranford and if you have not seen it you need to check it out. Just google or youtube search Cranford. And if it is any motivation, as it was for me, Tom Hiddleston is in the second season. Just throwing that out there, for all the Hiddlesisters. :)

The song itself is called The Parting Glass.









Have a good end to the semester and if your taking them, good luck on your finals! Mama Mary, pray for us!
