hahaha to say the least tonight was the prefect end to a really really hectic week. man it felt so good to just laugh and not have to worry about studying for another crazy hard class. dont get me wrong i love love love being here and being able to take these classes and i am actually loving the major i'm in now which is better then last year to say the least lol. its just been a week of....getting into a routine and i also think that God was really trying to show me that this isnt going to be a piece of cake but if i want this bad enough and i give it my all he will pull me through and give me the strength to do it : ) He is an amazing and wonderful God. : )

haha but yeah so i sooo wish that i had pictures from tonight or that you could have been there cause i dont think i have laughed that hard in quite awhile lol. we just got to hang out and celebrate julie's b-day (happy birthday julie!!! ) and just be together as a bunch of Christian's hanging out. i love love love that this can just happen here. i love that God has brought me here and has placed me here. i can feel that these next three years are going to be amazing. but yeah so we got to celebrate her birthday and her mom and best friend came up from baltimore which was so niccce of them. how sweet : ). the fun really began when erin suggested that we play this game called...umm i think it was pictionary telephone. oh my goodness i have never laughed so hard. everyone gets 8 papers and the u write a phrase and then you pass them. the person draws a pic of that phrase. pass them and then the next person writes what they think the pic means and so on.. man did it get funny lol. and then i was getting so tire which is so unattractive lol. sorry to all who had to witness it haha. man i love you all messiah friends. please just know that you have been such blessings to me and have truly truly helped me to be so comfortable and love being here, you guys are amazing and thank you God so much for putting them into my life : )

God is amazing and everlasting. He can bring us through the "storm" and we can "see the morning" cause i did. even though my storm was something as silly as a stressful school week, just know that even if you are going through something that u think u cant make it through just know, please know that God is going to life you up and carry you even if you feel like you cant make it. He has blessed me with people to help me and i pray that u have people u can rely on and see God in too. night all :)

thanks God for the morning. : )
