I need to know that God has a better plan for me.
I need to know that it all happened for a reason.
I need to know that He will help me overcome.
I need to know that there was a reason why I was convicted on those things.
I need to know that there was a purpose to why I spoke up.
I need to know so many things.
But most of all, I need the faith of Jesus.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12

new boots, please
My feet hurt.
I've been walking around campus trying to finish my errands. I went to the book store to buy a thank you card for the Khoe family and maybe stamps, but the stamps came in a book instead of separately and I already had stamps in a book but I wanted them separate so I didn't buy them. Then I went back to the dorm to get my stamps and cut them up for my recommenders and after, I walked to South Hall to see if Ms. Law was there. She wasn't, but a schedule by her door said that her office hours are from 1-3 P.M., so I'll be going back there. Next, I went to Hole Memorial to schedule my organ practice times, but no one was in the office because it's lunch, so I'll have to go back after 1 as well. Then, I went to drop off Dr. Joseph's recommendation at his office and he wasn't there, so I had to slide it under the door. Now I'm in my dorm room and I just finished emailing Loma Linda for my Pre-Admissions Tests schedule. Hopefully I can take it Feb. 15 at 9 A.M. with Jenny and Nikki!
Ten minutes until 1. Then I have to go back outside.
I'm not tired just because of that. If I was, that would be really sad. But actually, after eating at P.F. Chang's last night, we went to the snow! Luke, Ashley, Tony, Mymar, Jenny, Nikki, Luis and I went up to Forest Falls around 9 P.M. and we got there at 10 P.M. We had so much fun throwing snowballs at each other and running from the snow plower people. It was so tiring and cold though, and we didn't get back until 12:30. Fun stuff though! The snow started falling harder as we left, and it was crazy just to look up and watch it fall onto the windshield.
Anyways, here's a picture of the Thank you card I bought for the Khoe family. I'm so excited because it's so pretty!

rain, rain
The rain looked like so much fun to play in!
Nikki and I were staring outside our window and talking about what would happen if we were mini-people (like from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) and what we would do if we were out in the rain. She said she would be holding onto one of the weeds so she wouldn't be pulled into the "current" of the sidewalk and drown but I told her I would be safe in the tree, hehe.
Yay, for rain! More WATER! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =]

my lab prayer
So I thought instead of blogging about so-called "emo" things (that's for you Jeremy, even though you haven't said anything like that to me but whatever) or random information about me, I think I'm going to blog about different illustrations/spiritual applications that pop into my mind or blessings that happened during the week.
Here's a beautiful blessing that happened to me last week:
On Thursday, I had three exams: Sociology, Anatomy, and Chemistry and my weekly anatomy lab quiz. I was not prepared for any of them! I was really worried about Chemistry especially because I'm retaking that class and I need a better grade.
I wanted to spend most of Wednesday studying, but the sleepy side of me took over and so after Morning Manna and breakfast with my LSU ministry loves, I slept for a couple of hours. Around eleven, I woke up and I started reading over Sociology. Then, around one, I got dressed and went to the Biology building to start working. I came in early to put grades into my computer and hang around in Daniel and Danny's labs.
I sooooo did not want to be there! I was so freaked out about my tests and I was telling Daniel, Danny, and Janine and Danny offered to work the first hour for me so I could study, but I told him that was okay. I wasn't sure how good that was going to look, especially since I asked Janine to write me a recommendation for Loma Linda! Danny wanted to help me out, but we couldn't be clocked in at the same time so he couldn't.
Coming into lab and greeting the students, I was so grumpy--the Grinch of Lab. I don't even know what I said to them (it wasn't horrible!; it just wasn't the nice, cheerful, bubbly me that it should have been LOL) but I was telling them how they should just basically do their best to work quickly in lab. Ha, I'm a great T.A. right?
Well, before their quiz, I decided to pray. I had been thinking about that the week before and I felt the Holy Spirit tugging me to pray with them, so I asked that whoever wanted to pray with me could bow their heads. I prayed asking the Lord to be with them during the quiz and during lab, and especially for all of us with our quizzes, and tests, and whatever we had going on in the week. Then, the lab went as usual.
Not only was I stressed about my tests, I was also stressed about the lab! Dr. McCloskey gave them a worksheet about the Hardy-Weinberg Theorem to work on and I remember that I did not do that great with that equation. I was scared of the questions they were going to ask me! I wasn't sure if I would be able to answer them.
But I thank the Lord for being with me during the lab! The students are so bright; most all of them understood the theorem and they got the right answers on their worksheet! Not only that, but my mood brightened and I knew it was because of that prayer. I wasn't as stressed for my tests during the lab, so I was able to just go around to the different groups and talk with them and whatever. It was great!
So that's my testimony of the week.
Other news:
I finished my Loma Linda School of Nursing application and submitted it! Now I have to print out the recommendation sheets and give them to my teachers, and submit transcript requests at GAA and GCC. Funn. oOoOo yeah, and study for TEAS! Blah.
annnnnd...I'm home. Alive. Dry. Not crying. For those that know the situation, that could possibly be a good start.
Yay, tomorrow is the LSU Winter Formal, but a few friends and I are going to have some fun on our own.

nothing to say
I don't have much to say.
This past weekend was such a blessing! I'm so glad that I went and I have no regrets on going.
But now, coming down to school, I have to face many challenges.
I've cried so much, hoping that the tears will cleanse my heart of all its hurts
but it doesn't.
I need You, Lord. I feel so alone, like I've never felt before.

hello winter quarter
It's my last day of break. =[
This upcoming quarter looks like it's going to be the busiest and maybe hardest one.
Take a look:
Sociology MTRF 9-10 A.M.
A&P 2 MTRF 10-11 A.M.
G. Chem 2 TR 1-2:50 P.M.
A&P Lab R 3-5:50 P.M.
Nutrition M 6-9:40 P.M.
T.A. W 12-3 P.M. (hopefully)
...joyous. It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't retaking G. Chem again. Ahh, when I looked over my powerpoints for that quarter, it was all the conceptual stuff! No math!
But I have faith =]
I've noticed that my grades and GPA get better as the quarters go by, and as the quarters go by, we've been more consistent in our ministry and Bible studies on campus. =]
Boo hoo still.
Break is coming to a close.
