Since I've been at MC, God has worked in my life in so many ways. He is has put amazing people in my life. Directed me to an awesome church. And he put me in a great tribe. There is just so much to say I don't even know where to start. I guess I could start with the most interesting story.

There is this girl that I could not stand. I really did not like her. We met the summer of my jr. year at a camp. Then some drama happened with a boy my senior year and it involved both of us. This is when I really started to not like her. After that, we met again at a camp and our parents met and loved each other. We were both considering the same college, and we had a lot of the same friends. It was so odd. In the spring we found out we were both attending the same college, but I thought to myself I would never see her so it would be okay. On move in day a few doors down there she was. We both exchanged odd looks, and you could definitely tell there was some tension. For the first two months of school it was so awkward. It was like God was wanting us to be friends, but I could get over my selfish attitude to have a conversation with her. One day, I went in her room to see her roommate who I am friends with to get help on an essay. My friend happen to not be in the room so I asked this girl that I not like to help me... I was really trying. The next day we were working out at the same time and talked a little bit. That night she came in my room and we talked untill 4 am. It was so great to get all of those feelings out and now we are best friends. We both felt like God was trying to make us friends and I'm so glad that we are now.

There has been several more things like that where God has just placed things in my life. It is so great and I know that I am following the right path for my life.

community service

This week I did the community service for my essay. In all other previous service projects I have gained something from each experience. I love giving back to others and I believe it is very important. I was really excited about doing this service project. I love playing with kids and giving them special attention that they might not normally get. There is an undescriable feeling that I get when I see the smiles on the faces that I have hepl. Mississippi College believes it is important in engage in service learning. Being a Christian college, MC finds showing God's love and being a service to God and other people is a mission.

Thursday my assignment was to go to the apartment and play with kids. I was expecting it to be a little different. I didnt think it was very organized. There like 30 MC students and five kids. It was also very crowded. I honestly have to say I did not get anything out of this service project. This has to be the very first one that I didn't feel useful.

In my essay I plan to describe this experience but also talk about other service learning experiences that I truely did get something out of. I would love to try to do more service projects so maybe i will have a better experience than this past one.

New Essay

I was so thankful to turn in the Christian Education essay. It felt amazing to finially get rid of it. It was kind of a difficult topic for me. I knew what I thought Christian education was, it was just hard putting it into words. But as I was writing it, it did help me find out a lot about MC and my journey here. Writing the essay also help me remember why I came to MC, and helped me to appreciate it more.

What I'm expecting for the next essay: I love to help others. Mission trips and service projects have always been a big part of my life. I believe that God has given me so much and what better way to thank him then to give back to others, in hopes that they will be touched by God. There has always been this feeling I've gotten whenever I do service projects that I've never been able to experience at any other time. I am really excited about Thursday and being able to work with children. I am also really excited about writing the new essay. I believe I will learn more about myself and more about the reason that I came to MC. And I hope that the love of Christ will shine through me and that this service project will be beneficial to not only the kids, but me as well.

Yeah....

So much happened last week... and so much is going to be happening this next week. I think my week would be way more productive if I could throw out the little distractions in my life. For example my phone. When I'm studying it is always with me. Even if my phone is on silent I can still tell when I get a message cause it makes a little clicky noise and I completely loose my train of thought. Well if i put it away, I'm constantly think do I have a message? Is someone trying to call me? And other things along that line. Also I would really love it if I could freeze my facebook and myspace acounts where I couldn't get on for this one week. I have no self control when it comes to procrastination.


Last Thursday night was squeal night. I was really wanting to get in Laguna, but it looks as if God had other plans in mind. I got in KT. Honestly I was a little dissapointed, but trying to be completely optimistic I have decided to give it a chance. I can only pray that things will work out for the best.
