It's been a month...... (almost)

It's October!!! I'm not terribly sure as to what I should write about so I think for now I'll just give a (semi-)brief update.

Life has changed a tad since fall break...on the way back to chicago from minneapolis my engine overheated and to make a long story short my car is resting in peace somewhere outside the city there and I finally made it home via bus. God was very gracious throughout this experience and He gave me great peace (for the most part...hehe) and showed me the desires of my heart and how I have ALWAYS felt in control of my own life. The phrase "no control" now has a totally new meaning in my life because I have none.

School has been going well for the most part. College life has really started to sink in. I lost 4 hours of dishwork at our cafeteria and after talking to management I gained 10 hours of stock work divided into Monday and Thursday (monday its from 7am - 12!!! AHHH!). So although this once again may not be my most ideal choice for means of funds I am content and I know its a good thing. I had my first day of stock yesterday (Thursday) and it wasn't too bad...I just need to bring gloves because I spend half my time in the freezer.

Nothing else is very new...I'm coming home next weekend for the hallelujah party and to spend some time w/ the family and friends. School work has been going grand as far as papers etc, I just need to catch up in some reading. We will have another wave of tests/papers the first week of November. :( I'm eager for Christmas though! I can't believe how fast its coming.

Prayer needs are and will always remain. Some of them are:
-Diligence in my quiet times (because of classes its hard to do in the morning and only gets harder as the day goes on)
-Patience in the walk God has planned for me. I always want to be able to see through the fog...but I know He knows whats coming.
-Boldness. Most of the time I like to sit back and watch people here and now that we've been here a little while some people are changing and I wish to remain strong and keep a passion. It's been hard though...I'm looking for some 1on1 accountability and/or a mentor so pray for me as I seek that somewhere.
-Joy, as I mourn the loss of an amazing car ;)

God bless you all and have a blessed day!!!
