nice boss!

So, the VP of Enrollment services gave his staff (including myself) a devotional book today in our meeting (that was not at because of other meetings) Anyways, I got a copy and read today- and so far it is just awesome. I have been sitting in on auditions of students for a worship band and hearing how God is moving and working in their life has given me time to reflect upon my own relationship with the Lord. When I was reading thru today's date in the "Teach me to Pray" book by Andrew Murray, there was quite the interesting concept that I hope to act out in my own life as a single, yet dating, christian, 25 year old woman. The title, "alone with God" says it all, but as you can tell, in previous posts, I have discussed how busy I feel my life has been lately and of course, the 1st thing to go out the window- is the time I set aside for the Lord. This text states that "human beings need to be alone with God...We need to be alone with God, to yield ourselves to the presense and power of his holiness. Christ on earth needed it. He could not live the life of a son here in the flesh without at time separating himself entirely from his surroundings and being alone with God....Alone with God, that is the secret of true power in prayer. There is no true holiness, no clothing with the Holy Spririt"

"The time will come when you will be amazed at the thought that one could suggest 5 minutes was enough" HOW TRUE! Sometimes I am like, man, if I could only have 5 minutes that would be great BUT personally, I cannot WAIT for the day I think 5 minutes is not enough.....I struggle to find that now in my life and yet, my heart ACHES for that.

so stinkin busy!!!

Life is sooo busy!!! I can't believe how crazy life has been. I like it- it keeps the brain from thinking too much or stressing out about 1 thing or another- you know what they say about Idle hands...so, life is good, just really busy. I don't really remember being this busy since I have been out of college. And maybe it isnt like, busy..just I have so many things I want to do- and get done and completed and my house is a mess, i have christmas cards to write, scarfs to complete, crafts I need to work on...just so much random stuff- but then, there is the BF going to costa rica and of course, like I have said before, I think abotu that a lot and make sure everything is getting done with that- so I take on his stress...

anyways, we have completed 4 days of wellspring auditions..that is NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my mind is sooo not musical and I have no clue half the time what people are talking about...so I am glad that it is over!

ticket to miami

We bought a ticket last night for the BF to fly to Miami and back when he is on his cross cultural! How fun is that?! It was a great accomplishment, now there is just the DAT test and Dental school to apply for REAL soon for him....it kinda stresses me out...but, I know that he will do a GREAT job accomplishing these tasks!

Anyways, we had a date last night, after I stayed to call, he picked me up and we went to the cougar den- where I got a GREAT little sandwich, not in my diet plan, but great anyways....and then we went to his room and hung out. I loved it! :)

Today at work shall be fun, later tonight we are going as an office to a hockey game in Kalamazoo- that shall be a GREAT time...we are taking our interns to thank them for the GREAT job that they do! :) Go K-WINGS!

Here comes Christmas! :)

This is Jamos and I at the office Christmas party on Friday night and then to the right is us later at Hanging of the Greens at SAU- we are holding candles and waiting for the campus to become illuminated by candle light and christmas lights:) FUN and FREEZING! we also got to go on a mule ride around campus...oh what fun...until the thing started to race the other mule riders and we were racing down the campus sidewalk (concreite pathways for Jamey) and everyone on the left side of the wagon got smacked with a tree branch....:)

Above is the CRAZY belt that weighed 20 lbs - with a motor and a battery attached to it...that inflated Chester...(that is a horrible picture of me..)

Here is Chester the Cheetah...the 9ft air-inflated costume that Jamos and I wore at SAMS club for 4 hours on Saturday to earn some extra cash flow....
