My Inner European is Spanish

Your Inner European is Spanish!

Energetic and lively. You bring the party with you!

Who's" Your Inner European?

Very interesting - The first time I took it, I was Irish (and apparently I 'drink everyone under the table' - I have no idea what that means, so I took the test over). So now I'm Spanish. This description sounds a little bit more "me", :) although others may have different opinion:) lol........ Anyway, this is amusing, I've always wanted to visit Spain.....it's destiny i guess .. {:P

Mercy

I am so stressed right now. I am making myself sit down and focus on something besides college because otherwise I am going to have a nervous breakdown. My life this week is like living in a blender. I work all day every day this week. I have had and still have projects due all week. I have an exam tomorrow and 2 more on Friday. Helloooo, it's only the third week of the quarter!! If the rest of Spring quarter is like this I'm going to go insane. I am having so much trouble praying about it other than "Why is this happening to me, God?" My devotion from this morning (I actually remembered to do it this afternoon) was Psalm 66. It really hit home for me. The author says, (vs. 8-12)

"Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to be moved.
For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
You brought us into the net;
You have laid aflliction on our backs.
You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment."

He blesses God even in difficulties because he know that God is merciful and faithful to bring him through. I struggle so much with this. I tend to blame God for everything that frustrates me. I notice that when I try to handle everything that goes on day to day, on my own, and I don't pray about it, I just get more and more stuck. Placing our trials before Jesus is such a relief, when one remembers to do it... "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."


Ok, when I started writing this post, I was feeling like screaming/crying because I was so stressed about everything that I have to do still today.....Now I am a bit more relaxed. Focusing on this passage kind of helped reorder my priorities. Praise God for everything- even work overload:) - Bring all my problems to Him - Let Him be in control, it works so much better that way.

noodles.....and stuff

I just realized tonight how wierd/gross noodles are...... Our youth group hosted a talent night for our church and Kayla, Rachel, Aimee, Gloria, and I did a skit. Aimee and Rachel were Kayla's and Gloria's hands. I was the waitress at the restaurant that they were eating at.... I'm afraid the food was terrible. We used Top Ramen pasta, but I had boiled it about an hour before, so it was like glue-y and cold - I feel really bad for K and G because A and R were shoving it into their mouths.... I laughed SO hard :D They were spilling water and noodles everywhere, but I think everybody thought it was pretty funny. I probably would have barfed if I were one of the people eating - for dessert they had ding-dongs with sprinkles - Amy smeared it all over Kayla's face and Rachel (as Gloria's hands) tried to feed Gloria's to Kayla, too. It was a lot of fun - Beth was there and it was good to talk to her again. I haven't seen her much, since she dropped out last quarter.. but she's on the right track again:) We're all going to a ball next Friday in BC. Rae's cousin's church is hosting it and it sounds like a ton of fun - I have to find time this week to buy a dress... which should be interesting because I work everday except the day of the ball......so we'll see what happens. Rae and Sarah are going to do hair and makeup for everybody - maybe - we still have to tell Sarah:)

Anyway... I should sign off, b/c I have to work all day tomorrow and still get home in time to finish my Econ online homework and go to Rev's surprise party......fun, fun......good times :)lol
