Keepin' It Short

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet because I'm tired...

Today was looooong. And rainy slash snowy and very very gloomy. I slept til 10:30 and I was still so tired all day today. Classes were okay. I had chemistry lab..... Let's just say I've never hated a lab worse than the one today. It seriously took all 3 hours. I was so frustrated. But after I went to McAlisters with Jane, Jess, Maelena, and Chelsea. And afterwards we went to Quest. So that all made up for the terrible lab. Quest was so great, as usual. Lindsay, a Quest leader, and YoungLife leader, and YoungLife staffer, talked to us about contact work. When and if we become leaders we will be doing A LOT of contact work. I mean basically you go into a new school, high school might I add, and you totally put yourself out there. It's a crazy situation. But she talked about how when you go into that school, you go in with an identity of Christ, not as you. It was really cool the way she said it. We go in to a high school of lost, broken, confused kids and show them how much we love Jesus, and how they should too. I still can't get over how AWESOME that is!

Anyways, I saw Jesus today, and it was just really cool. So I thought I'd share. Lately I have been thinking a lot about money. I hate using my moms money for everything. I mean I'm 18 years old. I am very capable of having a job and making some of my own money. And also I know that I want to live somewhere next year that isn't home...which will cost money. I can't rely on my mom to always pay for everything. But today one of my teachers from high school, Mrs. Pratt, texted me during my treacherous lab and asked if I could babysit for a friend of hers. I know it's not like an actual job, but one, I love kids, and two, it is making money. I'm just hoping that this family and their kids will like me and I can continue to babysit for them. By the way, let me add I'm not just doing this for money. I really do love kids, so I think it will be something super fun to do, and I can get out of the house for a little while. I'm just really excited, and I think Jesus knows how money has been on my heart lately. He's a good guy that Jesus is :)

Night, friends.

If you really knew me you would know that I do not know how to study. And if I actually do study I wait til the day of usually to start.

(I say this because I have a chem quiz Friday that I haven't studied for at all)
