Let Us Rejoice And Be Glad In It.

I can't believe it's here, it being the last week of school. The last week of my first year of college. Honestly, I'm a little but upset about it. This was, hands down, the best, most amazing, incredible year of my life. I've never been in a better place. And I've never been happier. I went from living the worst year of my life to the best year of my life. I'm going to miss this place. I mean, I'm acting like I'm moving across the country or something, which I'm not. I'm just going to miss living in my box. I'm going to miss having a roommate. I'm going to miss Humes Hall. (good ole Humes sweet Humes) I'm going to miss waking up 30 minutes before class starts. I'm going to miss getting lunch and dinner with all my friends. I'm going to miss just being on campus all day every day. I've grown to love this place to much, and yes, I'll be back next year. But I'm going to have to drive back here every single day. And I'm not going to get to wake up 30 minutes before class starts. It just stinks. I'm actually starting to get a little bit emotional about it. The other day I was  walking down the stairs to pick up Jess at the basement door and I got really sad. Like I wanted to cry like a baby. Dang, this really sucks. I'm going to miss being with Jess and Jane for all my meals. And being in a box with Jane all day long. I can't talk about this anymore...it's too hard.

Anyways, life's been great. School's been good. Powell's been awesome. My small group is the bomb. And I seriously have the greatest friends ever. And now it's about to be summer and I'm going to miss all my friends who aren't from here! Gosh, this is really sad too. Everything is so sad because everything is about to change again. I feel like I just started school! Where the heck is time going!?!?!? Last night we had our last small group for the year, and of course it was great fun. I just really love spending time with those girls. They bring out the best in me.

This is way random, but my sister has high school cheer tryouts Saturday and my best bud Courtney has UT cheer tryouts starting Friday. So I'm like fretting a little bit for both of them. I mean, I would never tell either of them that, but I am going to be a nervous wreck this weekend! I mean geeez! Two important people in my life are about to do something big! Obviously I want my sis to make cheerleading at Central just because she's good as crap, and I cheered, and I just want her to :) And duh I want Court to make cheerleading at UT! I mean how freakin' awesome would that be! Yeah, that's my best friend running through the T! Wwaaaaaaaahhhh! SO cool. She's going to make it. Love them both, so keep them in your prayers.

This week is our last YL club for the year, and it's senior club so I'm really excited to see how they do. I can't believe I've already been a leader for like 5 weeks now! That's so crazy. Time is seriously speeding by like a NASCAR race car driver.

Hahah, yes I'm becoming obsessed with NASCAR. Like, for instance, I'm wearing my neon yellow Bristol shirt right now as we speak. Perhaps I should post a picture. I think that'd be appropriate. Well anyways, theres an allstar race coming up in Charlotte and I've GOT to go! And I'm really pumped about it. I will seriously go by myself if I have to! I mean, it's only 20 bucks! Who could pass that up!?

Really sorry for rambling, I'll wrap it up soon. But today in my Jesus calling the verse were 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. I just thought they were really great, especially 17. Here it is:

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."

Sometimes I let the smallest, dumbest things tick me off and put me in a terrible mood, which then leads me to have an attitude and then I get in a fight with my mom or something...it's just a never ending cycle.  I wish I would just take those obstacles for what they are and realize they're only making me a better, stronger, more christ-like person.

If you really knew me you would know that I still have $160 dining dollars left that I have to spend by this week.
