I hereby resolve to only post blogs about anything when I am in a good mood, like I am right now. =D
I also have resolved to stop drinking soft drinks, period. Going on 7 days now, no problems, probably because I still drink coffee daily because it is amazing =D
So, I am in an amazing mood because I got the announcements on time, so I got the announcement slides and video made early/on time, and therefore my stress level for Cru tonight was amazingly low! It is so awesome how much simpler life is when everyone does what they are supposed to! Not meaning to put anyone down with that one, just saying, everything is better when everyone does what they are supposed to do! Which is really true in all things, which is a good place to inject one of my favorite Bible verses, Colossians 3:23. I will not be typing verses into here any more either, because I am a huge advocate of you actually using your own Bibles, or substitute of your choice (ie iPhone app, internet, etc.). So, setup was smooth, Cru was smooth, tear down was smooth, AfterCru was awesome at Steak n' Shake! Got to "buy" my good friend Garret a milkshake (it was free, I had a coupon =D). And to top it all off, because everything went so smoothly, I got back home before midnight, which is just unheard of!
Also, I am SO EXCITED about Miami Summer Project this summer! As of right now, I have raised $2455 out of $2950!!!!!!! I only have $495 left, which is 83.22% finished!!!!!! The craziest thing about that is that I name-stormed (Cru term for brainstorming names) over 180 names, was only able to procure addresses/locations of 85 of them, got out 80 of those letters, and have only gotten 18 of them back! It is just plain crazy. God is SO AMAZING!! People that I have never met are giving me support! Several of my friends' parents who I have never even met are supporting me! I owe it all to the Lord, I take absolutely no credit for this provision. This is really the only way that it can be, it is just God re-allocating some of his resources, because everything belongs to Him anyway. I am nervous about a few things in regards to living conditions and employment, but I am less and less worried about it every day, which I also give all credit to God for. It is just absurd how powerful prayer is. This past Saturday, 5 of the 6 of us from Cru that are going on summer projects this summer got together and just prayed for like an hour, and it was just the most amazing time. I prayed out loud for like 15-20 minutes of the time, and I could just tell that it was not even me talking, but the Holy Sprint speaking through me to encourage the others who have much more support left to raise than me. Also, as school gets more and more stressful leading up to finals, I just find myself praying more and more in relation to the amount of stress, and the stress, or at least my state of mind, just completely turns around. I am really far behind in my chronological Bible reading, but I have a feeling I will have time to make that up in the weeks between the end of school and Miami SP, and then on Miami SP.
Anyway, that is really all I have to say, I could get off into the little things that frustrate me, but that would be pointless and just make me angry, so, with that, goodnight!
