Squeakin' By!

I have only four- pretty much three- weeks left of college. I got back today (Monday) at 12:30, so that's half a day, then I'm leaving on Wednesday in the middle of the day, so I just have one full day of this week to be here. I'm so excited for Easter, the family's having a cookout at Mamaw's house Sunday- very exciting, I can't wait!

Let me catch ya'll up on a few things:

I'm going to be able to get credit for a full year of college, and I only have to take one final in Biblical Foundations! That's a good deal for me. I just have to turn in a paper for Hebrews, and just show up the rest of the time. I'm moving my stuff back home slowly, so the transition back home will be effortless. :) Then when I get home, I'll have to get rid of some crap I don't need. Not looking forward to organizing all the STUFF.

oh! Got some new Keens! Little River Trading Company had a 20% off sale...I hit that up! Now bring on summer, I'm ready to do some hiking! I almost thought about buying Vibram Five Fingers...that's next on the list. Along with some white Toms. New black Chacos?? Hiking boots?? oooh I know rock climbing shoes! or new Asics...gotta have footwear for every activity ya know. Got the cowboy boots for riding too. Barefoot covers the rest. :)

Anyways...

I visited Cornerstone Church of Knoxville two weeks ago--loved it. I was impressed with the whole thing, the preaching, music, prayer, was all very Christ centered. It was great.

Then, I went to a new Bible study last night--loved it too! It was fantastic, so I'll be going back again--they meet on Sunday nights and Thursday nights. I am pretty durn excited about getting plugged into a group again...since I haven't been in a year or two. Looking forward to see what God's gonna do with this group! They also want to start a church plant, so I'm praying about how I should fit into that. I'm not new to church plants...it can be frustrating but really great sometimes too. I was also greatly encouraged last night by the conversations I had with my new friends I met! I've been bummed out about Blount County churches lately, and realized that I shouldn't be that way, and now hopefully I can be involved and not be so negative now!

I think that's it. Oh- had my first blood test today...that was exciting. I didn't pass out...I barely felt the needle. I think I can stick someone else with a needle, but watching it stick me is not very fun. I START NURSING CLASSES IN ALMOST THREE WEEKS!!!!!

Boy, I need prayer for a lot of things. I've been stuck in a mood for a week, and I need to get out of it. I hurt my leg running (as soon as I get to where I want to be, I can't run :( stupid stress fractures slow me down) So that hasn't set well with me, I'm a horrible patient. So now I'm resting my leg and apparently my arches are causing the problems when I run. So frustrating. Grrrrrrrr.

Christ needs to be the center of my life, not everything else. I'm struggling to remember that. Nothing else is really that important.

Well, Self Defense class is next tonight, so I guess I'll close! Goodnight
