What's new? So much!

So it has been a very long time since my last update. My apologies.
Let's see, I'm going to do like Ashley Grant and just list some things that have been going on in my life. (Ashley, I tried to comment on your blog, but it won't let me...)

1. Passion 2010 was absolutely amazing! I want to go to India someday and meet the Dalit people.
2. My moma turned 50 in January. Me, Ben, and Sarah went to Mobile where she and Daddy were for a convention and surprised her. It was a lot of fun and we got her good!
3. School is intense. No, correction, life is intense. I have 18 hours of class, Practicum twice a week, and babysitting 3 children 3 days of the week. I never knew 2 classes could require so many projects, papers, and group work. Elementary Education is NOT a cop-out major like so many people believe. It's hard work.
4. Spring Break is coming up, thank the Lord! I am going with MSU's BSU to Chicago. This is completely out of of element. How? Because there are 10 students going along with the 3 diretors. Out of the 10, I know 1 person, Carlye. We're having meetings each week after BSU to practice sharing our testimony under 90 seconds and making sure we know the Roman Road. Whoa. I'm so excited to see Christ work in us and through us that week.
5. March 4th, I'll be going to the FedEx Forum to see George Strait, Reba McEntire, and LeeAnn Womack in concert. I'm just a tad excited about that. ;)
6. I will be spending the summer in Orlando, Florida. I'll just leave it at that, because I'll go on and on about Florida.
7. I have decided to be a family group leader next year at BSU.
8. My family is amazing. I cherish every moment spent with them.
9. I'm finding out who my true friends are.
10. God is working in me like never before. I look forward to my quiet times with Him everyday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I spend time with Him in the library inbetween classes. I am so blessed to be able to be in public, read His word, and pray and not be persecuted.
11. My sister, Sarah, will graduate from the W as a nurse. It's been a long road for her, and I'm so glad she's found something she likes and is finally going to be out of college! Haha.
12. I worked my very first DNOW February 19-21 in Agricola, MS. Ashley Farris and I had a group of 9 10th graders and 1 11th grader. I have never seen a group of girls with such a tight friendship and a strong, devout relationship with the Lord. It was overwhelming and humbling and incredibley amazing. I can't believe I've never worked a DNOW before. I loved it. I talked too much, but that's nothing new. ;)
13. I'm ready for next year.
14. I love it when people call me when they are sick or just need to talk. I don't know why, I guess it makes me feel needed. One of my friends was having a tough week, so I made a special delivery to her house to cheer her up. Another friend was getting under the weather and was also having a tough week. Again, I made another drop off just so he would smile and get better. No one asked me to, but I do those things. I like taking care of my people and trying to make them feel better. I'm worried about that aspect of my personality for this summer, though. Children will be there with terminal illnesses. I'm not going to be able to make them better. However, for the week that they are there, I can be as goofy and silly as possible to make them have one amazing week of no worries. I am also going to pour the love of God in them. I'm excited.

I guess that's about it. The weather has been absolutely beautiful lately. My God knows how to make me smile, just by sending sunshine and stars at night. I love that He knows me so well.

I hope you are all doing well. I miss you all! I haven't seen anyone in a long time. Someone please have a party soon!!
