I feel like a real college student! (think Pinocchio)
I just finished a paper. It's 4 AM. I have class at 8 AM. Rather than risk oversleeping and missing my classes in the morning, I am choosing to stay up.
Good thing tonight just happens to be Royal Wedding :)

{Blown Away}
I'm so blessed. I have friends and family who are beyond generous.
They're giving in service to the Lord, but I can't help thinking that these people believe in me and in what I'm trying to do enough to donate such large sums of money.
I'm shocked that they would consider me worth it. That they think I can do enough great things in the lives of others to warrant that.
I recognize that I'm blessed and I thank God everyday for putting these people in my life, who have always supported me in prayer and are now supporting me financially.
But wait. I can see Satan lurking. I can see him using this as an opportunity to make it all about me and how my friends and family view me. This is all about God. This is all about His kingdom. This is all about how He is able to work through me: an imperfect, fallen, human vessel.
This is not about me.
How humbling. How blessed am I!
Continue to pray that the support comes in. Pray for the support for the rest of my team as well. We are all struggling with trusting in God to provide. But if He wants to, it will.

Christ is Risen - Matt Maher
Christ is risen from the dead,
trampling over death by death.
Come awake, come awake,
come and rise up from the grave.
Christ is risen from the dead,
we are one with him again.
Come awake, come awake,
come and rise up from the grave.
O, death. Where is your sting?
O, hell. Where is your victory?

ADULThood.
We destroyed that For Rent sign (not literally, of course).
Alyssa's ballet moves killed it.
Why?
Because that house isn't up for no rent no mo'.
We be ADULTS.
We get keys on May 1.
Be jealous.
You only wish you were as cool as us.
Flea Market Friday for bedroom furniture?
Yes, please.
We're more excited than little kids at the place with all the inflatable bouncy things!

News
I don't know why I've been absent for so long. My school work hasn't been too bad, although these next few weeks are going to be rough.
I do have a few quick updates for you all though:
1. I need to raise $7331 in the next 10 days. I thank God daily for my home church. They are so supportive of missions. Thanks to them I have $1040. I have a long way to go...
2. I bought Chacos and I am soooo excited for them! They'll be the perfect shoes for Greece this summer and for ever after. Thanks lifetime warranty!
3. I'll be living with five wonderful girls next spring in a beautiful house after I return from Scotland. Casa del sexaaay! I love my friends, and I'm so glad we all get to live together. No brothel law will stop us (it actually won't; eight girls is the limit)!
