I Work Hard For the Money...

I started my first OFFICIAL job not this past Friday but the Friday before that. I say OFFICIAL because before I worked at Michelle's but I loved working for Michelle at her in home daycare and it wasn't really work it was more fun and I loved playing with the kids!!! However, I am now working at a daycare center let me tell you a lot different from an in home daycare. First there are so many rules and paperwork because its run by the state. It makes me very nervous because I'm afraid I will mess up. Also, I have to memorize all the kids names what their allergic to, their parents names and the two other people who are allowed to pick them up. However, I already love a lot of the kids!!! Even the trouble makers are hard not to love. When they go outside all I hear the whole time is Miss Jenna push me on the swing!! Its so much fun but SO tiring by the time I get home I'm whipped!! The boss is really nice but a little intimidating and all the ladies that work there are super nice I just hope I don't mess something up!! But I am super glad that I found a job for the summer when everyone who is out of work is having a hard time finding one!

In other news I LOVE being home and seeing and spending time with all my family and friends but I do miss my friends at school but it wont be long and I will see them again and they are only a text message, phone call, and face book message away so I talk to them a lot!! :)
God has really been teaching me to trust in Him in many ways! I cant do this without Him!! Sometimes I wish I could talk to Him face to face for just a little bit because I need some advice right now but I know He will help me on His timetable not on mine!
Sometimes I feel like such a chicken I wish I could be braver but with God's help and in time I know I can become braver.

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" Phil. 4:13

Trusting 101

I wish there was a class with that title!!!
My life is so unsettle right now its crazy! Who would of thought that after my first year of college I would feel this way! I think its just the transition from being away to being back home!! But there is a lot of stuff going on in my life and would appreciate the prayers right now!! I'm in the process of getting a job and Ive had some problems so I need to learn to trust my Lord and Savior that he has a plan for me!! Ive just felt super down lately but I know God will be by me every step of the way and I have amazing family and friends to help me out too!!
So in a way I'm in my own class called Trusting 101!!!

First Year Of College

Heres a few pictures of my First Year of college!!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

First Year of College....

... is done and over with!! WOW

Did that go by fast or what! I can't believe I am now a sophomore in college. This year was so hard but so amazing at the same time!! I am so excited for summer and being home with my family and friends but I left some amazing people!! I am going to miss them so much!! Some of them I will get to see over the summer so that makes me happy but others I wont!! :(

I am just excited to see what God has in store for me over this summer!! I am going to work at a daycare and these next couple days is for finalizing the process of that aka A LOT of paper work!! I came out of college a different person but I don't mean that I changed who I was and am but I am now a stronger person and have been put out of my comfort zone which has only made me stronger in my faith and who I am.

I have had so many good memories my first year!!!

I have seen so many different people with different backgrounds that have made me SO thankful for my family and the way I was raised!!

My first year wasn't all good though I had some hard days here and there and even some hard weeks but I knew my Heavenly Father was there every step of the way!!

I may have found something during my first year of college that will change my life forever but I will have to see how that works out all I know is that God knows...

In the end I would not trade my first year of college for anything!

Oh Harnish!

Okay so I have this professor named Harnish and He is the sweetest man ever!
I just wish he didnt teach math lol!
But he is honestly a good professor and gives plenty of help!!
I was so thankful for him this semester and he is just so funny lol!
Me and my friend Megan have many inside jokes about him but just in fun!
Im glad I dont have him anymore because that means no more math but Im also sad to not have him because he def. made me laugh a lot in math class ha ha.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdusk in your brothers eye...

So Saturday I woke up around 830 and got ready to go and spent sometime studying and then left for Lima with some friends to go to a pancake breakfast to support my other friend who is involved in young life. We ended up getting lost on the way there but with a little arguing, change of drivers, and directions from someone who lives in Lima we finally made it! The pancakes were good then we headed back without getting lost this time ha ha!! After that I went to go spend time with my friend Abby and one of her best friends from high school Kevin. Well on the way to her dorm something flew into my eye some kind of dusk SPECK and my eye starting gushing with water and Kevin was like are you crying and i explained to him what happened so the whole time i was with them my eye was watering and i was trying to get whatever was in my eye to come out but i couldn't find anything. So when i left and came back to my room to do some more studying it was still in there but it wasn't bothering me to bad well a little before 5 some of my friends wanted to go outside and toss the Frisbee around before dinner when I went outside the sunlight made my eye go crazy so I came back inside to try to wash it out. That did not seem to help so I just ignored it and went to dinner well at dinner it would not stop watering and my eye was all puffy. I think people thought i was crying. One person thought something "tragic" happened so i had to explain that something was in my eye and I couldn't get it out and that i wasn't crying. After dinner i walk to the store with some friends and bought some eye drops hoping that would fix my eye. Well that did not work either and all night my eye was gushing yes gushing with water and people kept looking at me weird because I was at the rec center with friends but I couldn't play basketball or volleyball because I could not focus my one eye. After the rec center we went to the park and my eye was still in a lot of pain so my friends told me I should go to the ER but I have a fear of going to the ER so I called my dad who knows of this fear and he said i should put more eye drops in and go to bed and hopefully it will be better in the morning. So that's what I did. Then Sunday I woke up and my eye was really really sore!! And I could not focus it and because I could not focus that eye I couldn't focus the other eye which made it extremely difficult to get ready for church. On top of that I was starting to get a headache but I did not want to miss church because it was probably the last time I got to go before Summer so I went and it felt alright during the service but it still hurt so I called my parents and they were going to come take me to the ER but then it started to feel better so they did not come and as of now its doing Good just extremely sore from watering all day and me wiping it!!
So watch out for those specks!!

Last Week Of Classes

Yes you read that right I am in the home stretch of finishing my first year!!!
I cant believe how fast it went!!
Looking back even though i had some rough times it was a good school year.
I have so many good memories of friends!!
I'm going to miss them a lot over the summer!!
And because Bluffton is a small school and you basically know of everyone its going to be so weird without some of the seniors!!
I'm so glad to be done with the school part however and cant wait to be home for the summer!!
I have learned a lot over this past year however and its made me a stronger person!!
But i would be NO WHERE without my Heavenly Father being there every step of the way!
So these last couple weeks are for studying for finals and spending time with my amazing friends!!
