New House

This morning my roommates and I all signed a lease for a house! We are all so excited and have no doubts that this is the house that God wants us in. We knew it was the house for us right when we first saw it and looked through it. And we were just confirmed even further when our parents saw it and they all loved it too! I leave for spring break on Wednesday and when I come back I will be living in my new house! That means only 4 and a half more days of living here in this house. I, along with my roommates, are all sooo excited and happy!

Good News!

So we looked at the house yesterday, and decided against it. It just didn't feel right when we met the guy and walked through the house, it didn't feel like it was meant to be our home. But today our roommate (the one we are all having problems with) informed me that we are allowed to end our leases early if we need to. I'm sure she said this because she is probably just as tired of us as we are her, but she said the reason was because she didn't want us to be bound to a lease through April 30th if we found the right house now. Which means, We could be living in a new house as early as April 1st! (my birthday!) And when you really break it down, the last week in March is our spring break, which I will go home for anyway, which means I could only be living in this house for 3 more weeks! It sounds sooo great right now that in 3 weeks I won't be living like this anymore! But we are just allowing God to take control of everything and show us the house we need and when to move out. That doesn't mean we aren't looking though, we pretty much are looking online 24-7 for houses for rent, and driving around during our free time looking at them and looking for other houses for rent. I am just so excited that this is FINALLY happening, and that I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Or from Psalm 23:4, I will get out of the dark valley! And VERY soon!

New Houses!

Today is such an exciting day! It's so exciting because today my roommates and I are going to look at a house! I'm sure we will end up looking at several, but the first one is just so exciting because it's so new to all of us and we are all in the same boat together. It will be fun to look at houses and decide together what we like and don't like. The house that we are looking at today is actually just right down the street from where we live now. Therefore, it's still close to the campus! From the outside it's a beautiful house and much better pricing than what we are paying now. We are trying not to get too attached to any house though because we don't want to get our hearts set on something if that is not what God has planned for us. I'm so excited to start this process with my roommates, and today is the first day =)

The Atonement Child

I just finished reading the Atonement Child, by Francine Rivers. It was a very, very good book and I enjoyed reading it very much. Francine Rivers wrote the book "Redeeming Love", which is my all time favorite book, so I decided to read another one by her. Although I didn't like The Atonement Child as much as Redeeming Love, Francine Rivers did not dissapoint me. I think the book is a very good representation of a woman's struggle when facing the issue of abortion. Not only thinking about abortion, but let's the reader hear both sides to the issue, and then ultimately says what God thinks about abortion. Each child is a gift from God, no matter how they were conceived, and there will always be a place for them in this world, I just wish everybody knew and understood that. I would definitely recommend this book to people, because I really enjoyed it. Redeeming Love is great too! =)

Tired...

I am tired of school already! And it's only the third week in! =( I don't know how I am going to make it the whole semester. I already have tests even, all in one week. Next week is going to be a very miserable week. And that makes me sad because it is Valentines Day next week. Oh well.

I can't wait to move out also. I have so much fun with 3 of my roommates and I cannot wait to live in a house with them where there is no unwelcoming feelings or any negative feelings when you walk into the house. I can't wait to decorate our new house with them however we want, and make it whatever type of house we want. It will be great and I can't wait to get out of here. I really hate coming home to my own home and having these negative feelings and feeling unwelcomed. And I really hate that myspace/facebook have to be a source for sharing our feelings with each other. We live in a house together, we should at least be able to talk to each other, and one of us isn't talking. It sucks. I just can't wait to get out of it all and live with Kathy, Emily and Casey (3 of my roommates now) who actually have enough roommate courtesy to try and live peacefully. So hopefully these next few months will go by really fast so we can get our new house!

Thank You, God!

I really don't feel much like blogging right now. But it is Monday, which means More of Him Monday, and I haven't done one in a while so why not. I will make this really really short. I prayed a week and a half ago that God would show himself to me since I was feeling kind of on my own these days, that God wasn't around much. And just in the past week God answered my prayer and has shown himself to me in so many different ways. The biggest one being my new bible study! It was a spare of the moment decision to join this bible study (Refresh), and I just absolutely love it, and the girls in it. It is an all girls bible study that meets every Wednesday night. We are reading the book called "Lady In Waiting" and the book is all about finding God's purpose for our life while we are waiting for "Mr. Right". It is exactly what I need right now! And it is so great that I get to meet and grow close with a whole new group of girls that I have never met before. We all come from such different places, and I am excited to see what God has in store for us this semester!
