I feel like I have neglected my blog, but I have been so busy I haven't had time to post. My best friend tells me that I am the busiest person she knows ... I know I stay tired all the time from all the business.
I have had a couple of big tests back to back, and today I have a pretty big muscle and bone test. I feel good about it actually, I have studied so much that I am pretty sure I got them. I have to get started working on my psychology stuff. I have neglected that class and my grade reflects that. I have also got to get started working on my research paper for Eng 102. It is the last assignment I have to do in there (Thank you God). I have a A in that class though, so I am liking that.
After class today I have to go grocery shopping, then tomorrow is Kids-Fest at church and I'm helping so I am excited. I'm not going to dress up though ... I am so tired of Halloween and dressing up that I could scream. Just another Holiday to help rot your kids teeth, thanks!
I am hoping my life will slow down a bit now that Upward is over. I would have volunteered for Upward Basketball but I have been stretched so thin and time is hard to find these days, and my Bible reading and studies have suffered from it. Like our pastor said, we fill up our calendars with good stuff (like volunteering) when we should be filling them up with great stuff (like getting in the word and getting closer to God).
Well I am off to do more studying (I want to get an A), so I hope you have a great, glorious, and blessed day! Don't forget God in your busy schedule today!

Prayer Request
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was trying to get a prayer walk (http://www/reviveprayerwalk.com) started at WKCTC in Paducah, Ky. Well as you know, I was told that we could "Pray at our own risk". I was also told that if I posted flyers about the date and time of the walk, that they may be taken down. I really thought they were just trying to cover their backs because they receive state funding ... I guess I was wrong because every flyer I posted or put on tables, was gone the next day I went to the college.
It looks like they, and Satan, are gonna fight this prayer walk I scheduled for Nov. 11, 2007. Guess what? I'm gonna fight back too. I'm gonna hang more posters/flyers, and tell more people about it.
Let's see what God does!

God Has Really Blessed Us
Last night at church we had to tell something about the mission trip we went on. I was very nervous because I don't do well speaking in front of people like that. I said something unintentional and made everybody laugh, which took my nerves away. I would have said something else if time would have allowed.
I would have said that God has truly blessed us with awesome friends, like "J" & "BL" When we went out to eat that Sunday night in NO, the restaurant was pretty expensive and I was about to freak out because we can't afford places like that on one income. I had tears in my eyes because I was truly worried. "J" told me that he would get the kids, and we could just get mine and Stanley's. I said no, but he insisted. That really got me choked up and then I got something in my eye which really got my eyes to tearing up.
It ended up that "J" payed for it all because the place added so much extra for the tip and seperate checks. Stanley and I decided that we couldn't let him pay for the kids or us because our bill had to be over $100. I was calculating what ours was and gave him a check for $90, and then realized that amount was wrong because our drinks and tip was probably more than I figured. It didn't matter though because "J" never cashed the $90 check.
I emailed him last week telling him to cash the check, then last night I told him again, he told me that they through it away. I told "B" that I was going to have to figure something out because I didn't want them to pay for our food. I don't know how to get them to take the money, but I got to think of something.
I just feel so blessed to have friends that are so self-less that they would offer to pay for and then pay for such a big food bill. I hate it that they did, but it just goes to show what kind of people they are. They are awesome people and I feel so blessed to have them in my life.
"J's" birthday is coming up and I'm gonna have to pay him back with his birthday gift. That is the only way I can think of that he will take the money. I'm thinking gift cards to his favorite restaurants :)

What A Blessing
This past weekend we were in New Orleans on a mission trip with our church. It was an amazing weekend, I really enjoyed it. We put on a block party for the Gentilly community and it was a blessing to be a part of it. The kids were so precious!
On Sunday evening we took a road trip to see the lower 9th ward, it was sad. One person said that our tax money paid for the flood wall like it was a bad thing ... I don't care to help pay for it, I just wish we could have before the hurricane hit.
We also walked down Bourbon street ... I don't know whose idea that was, but that is not the place to take a church group or kids. I could not believe the things we seen there. I guess it was good in a way, because we got a glimpse of what hell looks like. No really. I have never seen the "f" word on so many shirts in my life. Scary!

"Pray At Your Own Risk"
That is what I was told when trying to start a prayer walk at my college. That is ok, I WILL pray at my own risk ... I WILL take a stand for Jesus. Will you? http://www.reviveprayerwalk.com

Busy-Busy-Busy
I have so much going on this week that I feel a bit overwhelmed. I have a final exam in my Art Class I can take tomorrow or Friday. An essay to write by Friday. A test in Psychology I can take from Sunday to Wednesday. A lab test Tuesday, and I was suppose to have an A&P test on Tuesday too, but apparently they are not supposed to schedule lab & lecture tests on the same day, so we have been told lecture will move to another day.
I am also trying to get REVIVE started at my college. So far I have been told that "This is a state school and therefore we cannot promote religious events" ... HOGWASH I tell ya, pure hogwash! I am not giving up though. My Nursing advisor (Dean of Nursing) seems to love the idea and is going to talk with the leaders of the school, so I still feel good about it.
Pray that Revive makes it to WKCTC! College students need prayer too!

Learning What God Says
Sometimes something keeps coming up over and over again, and I feel like Satan is just trying to cause trouble, but then I talk with someone who tells me that the Bible says:
In Matthew 5:23-24
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
So I guess it was God.
