Well well, where to start? My trip to Waukesha was pretty much awesome! got to see alot of old friends and make new ones! oh and the best part was my sister of course! it was SO good to see her and spend time with her =) it made me realize how much really did change when she left.
Visiting the school was really good for me too, seeing as I am planning on attending... it was quite the eye opener. Life back in sunny florida is so much different than what it was like up there! what really surprised me was that Waukesha really is a great opportunity to learn but it isnt a guarantee that I will learn... i guess... like its up to me and God... not like I can check in and leave fully established in my relationship with God.
just a bit confusing there but its alright =) since getting back i have been pushing a mad rush to catch up with my school. its been going ok but is tiring me out. definitely ready for the weekend!
Lockin! thats this weekend! sweet! im really looking forward to it, hoping it will be an opportunity to let Christ shine through me even though ill be very tired =)this morning my dad was telling me that it will be like a strategy on a battlefield. He will be teaching youth group, Tim will be on a bus with his team, and ill be at a lockin... all of us have opportunity to be a witness for Christ if we get out of the way =) yay
thats all for now

Anxious
I would say worried, but its not really worry thats got me feeling this way. As in, Im not worried about flying or missing flights or figuring out what to do without anyone there... because that would be foolishly forgetting how well God is watching over me =D
Matthew 6:26-34 25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[d] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Sorry thats alot of verses but the idea its communicating is obviously that God will provide for us. So that means I really dont have to worry about these things. God will take care of it if I allow it. If I stress myself out to take care of everything, I may completely miss what he has planned for me. that would be awful honestly!
So I choose the word anxious instead, because though Im letting God take care of me I havent had much opportunity to be out on my own basically. Just thought I would share what I was feeling =)
