Hey, Sorry If you tried to comment on my blog and couldn't before, i had some settings set wrong, unknown to me until an hour ago when my dad pointed it out. Hope your all having a wonderful day/night

This time next week i will be living in Colorado, i will be all moved into my dorm and everyone will be there. Thats an exciting thought.
I Keep thinking about the events that got me to the place I am

From growing up going to The Great Sacandaga Lake and developing a love of outdoors and skiing This love of outdoors that has made it so that every time I'm out in the wilderness, or even taking a walk on the golf course in my neighborhood, I literally never want to come inside (that is if the weathers perfect and no mosquitoes).

To going to skiing and how perfect that trip was, and how I thought for the first time, I never want to leave Colorado. A thought that has been extremely present on every trip out there this year.

To going to scotland and even though it was a missions trip, the biggest thing I saw happen on that trip was to myself. I became me and started trusting in God, i fell in love with him. My going to CCU would not of been possible without this trip.

To praying about CCU my senior year being so positively sure that it was the right school for me and so positive that I could never go to a school that far away.

To moving to Wichita and once again opening up the idea of CCU in my head.

And then the Day I was accepted, I will never forget that day.

To all the thoughts and dreams I have for my 3 years at CCU, i know these will be three years I will never forget.

It's been been a crazy crazy adventure, and I have treasured every step of it. I am so excited to see the second chapter of my CCU book and the changes, opportunities, and growth it will bring.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes (and communities and schools) to remedy this kind of poverty.

Thoughts?, comments?




*I added the () comment

So a weird emotion is going through me that I wasn't expecting before I left for ccu, because I didn't experience before shorter. See when I left for shorter I wasn't leaving as many friends behind and they were living in the same county as me so I knew I would see them again, it was easy to keep in touch with them. But this time its different much different. My great friends that I made at shorter (they know who they are) became like family to me , and well it's a little weird to think about going through college stuff without them, even though I know they are a short call away and we will meet again someday. And than there are many other people at shorter, who meant a lot to me. And well I don't know if I will ever see them again. And that's a weird feeling. I really feel like I'm starting a new chapter of my life, when I only started the last chapter two years ago.
But there is a glimmer of hope, i woke up today with such excitement about CCU. I know its where God wants me to be and I am so excited to see why. I'm excited to make new friends that feel like family, and for new adventures. I'm excited for the mountains, the mountains that have captured my heart.
I really can't believe it's only twenty days away

Some CCU Prayer Requests

SO yeah
I have been doing much updating on my blog recently
I think this is mostly because there are so many emotions going through my head
disbelief- because It's really unbelievable that I am actually going to ccu, it is purly a sign of how good God is and how he always has a plan for us even though sometimes the things he does might seem a little odd at first. .
Excitment - Because well I think the above description pretty much covers this. It's um well COLORADO MOUNTAINS ADVENTURE have I mentioned mountains yet. and then my room, my amazing room and the girls that will live there that already seem like friends. I can not wait to meet them in person. And then the chance to use my college career to grow closer and learn bout God, it's what first made me start to look at ccu in the fall and well I'm excited
Gosh I'm almost crying now I'm such a crybaby
Nervousness - I am scared to live far away from home. This is a huge step for a girl who came home everyweekend .I'm excited but this whole distance thing is making me nevous. But I know that God's in control and he is good.

So please be praying
For health and good travels - I'm wondering how this whole altitude thing really will affect me and then I'm driving most of the way there
For home sickness
For good close friends that will grow to seem like family, this has alot to do with the above prayer request. I know its what i need to not be homesick
and that I take advantage of every oppurtunity offered to me at ccu
and that I don't cry the whole first week there because I know i'll be so excited and amazed that I'm actually there. And well those two emotions usually bring tears to my eyes.

So wondering through the aisles of super target today, I for some reason found probably the weirdest thing I have ever seen in a grocery store...... the batter blaster.
Its pancake batter in a whipped cream can. and I must admit my first thought was this is so unnatural and I had visions of the Jetsons going through my head. But then I saw the word ..organic it's natural after all!!. And knew that I just had to try it. Organic pancakes out of a can who would of thought. SO I came home and made a couple and there actually quite good. batter blaster is a success!!!
