Helllo spring break!

Wow it is nice to have a break from Geneva.. I love Geneva but it is so nice to not be there (: Stay tuned for some fun spring break stories!!!

Lazy Day/GOOD news (:

Also on Sunday- I was supposed to be studying for a midterm....

I applied for a summer camp job this summer at Summers Best Two weeks... it has been a long waiting process, but I found out yesterday that I was hired!!!!  What an answer to prayer!  I will be spending my summer in Somerset, Pa at a Christian Sports Camp, I could not be more excited!  Check the camp out!  www.Sb2w.org  I would appreciate prayer for transitions and exhaustion as the summer approaches quickly (:

On another note-break starts on Friday! AHH and i turn the big 21 pretty darn soon!  Im heading to the big apple to celebrate with friends and fam. (:  

Break is so close that I can taste it!

Wow break is so close... Spring break is EXACTLY what everyone needs!  The past couple days have been sweet (i havent been doing much studying or homework).  On Friday, we celebrated some birthdays... Ashlie and Tayler turned 20.  A bunch of people went to Pittsburgh to celebrate.  It was a lot of fun..because of student activities on the weekends it is hard for me to be available to celebrate with friends so it was nice to just go out and have fun!  Saturday was a lazy day, i should have been studying for History but instead Gretchen(my RA/friend)  and I found Titanic  on tv and spent the WHOLE day watching that and just hanging out.

On Saturday Holli and I put on a little activity for our friends (:  I'll give you a little background...  Holli and i have been talking about how we wanted to do something fun for a while, so at the beginning of the week Holli had an idea... It was called Dare night. we sent unanimous notes to some of our friends to meet us at a location to start the dare night.  We had about 15 people show up and play.. We had a list of things people had to complete and take pictures of... My team won!  It was a lot of fun and gave people a chance to hang out before break... there were a ton of laughs, hopefully people add pictures to facebook soon!  

Oh Sunday.. I looove sundays.. There is a small group of us that attends a church in Cranberry that we really enjoy.  I am really learning a lot, i am challenged and growing.  I am so thankful for our church.  After Church Diana and I decided to have a little birthday party for Stu, his birthday was last tuesday!  I am pretty proud of the cake I made for him!  (with lots of help from anna, one of my housemates)  It was fun (:  I have some great friends!

 

The icing made everyones mouth turn crazy colors!  (:  

Sea breeze.

Wow... I am thankful for thursdays, my weeks are jam packed until thursday.. i can finally breathe!  The concert last night was AWESOME every performer was impressive.. Tyrone's songs spoke to my heart though.  The whole night was a reminder of how much I love the atmosphere of live GOOD music.  The day was filled with chaos but I was surrounded/working with great friends!  Unfortunately I was too busy to take pictures but here are the lyrics to my fav. song from last night... Look him up Tyrone and his opener, Keaton are playing at the Hardrock right Now!  

Sea breeze 

She moves like sea breeze, swirling around me
The fragrance that she leaves hangs in the air
Soft like a whisper, she's calling me to her
These eyes have seen the most beautiful dream
We found each other, staring at the waves
Started talkin' couldn't break away
And made plans to meet tonight
Down by the pier, when midnight strikes I'm going to hold that dream near
Tomorrow, surprise o'er
She took my heart with one look in her eye
To a place that feels like home
These eyes have seem the most beautiful dream
Oh, oh

Just another day

today is just another busy/crazy day here at Geneva.... Although im a student, sometimes it's the least of my worries.. Student activities is putting on a concert tonight with Tyrone Wells and Joy Ike, it should be pretty sweet.  Hopefully i will have pictures to come later this week.  today... i am learning patience.  Im am learning that i need to have more of it and it something that is required of me.  Im learning to wait on God and trust that what he has in store for me in EVEY aspect of my life will be worth being patient.  

On another note.. it is a beautiful day in Beaver falls!  It is soooo nice to finally see sunshine, it has been a LONG winter.  Spring break is next week and i couldnt be more excited!  Classes get cancelled on friday so i have an extra day which I am not mad about at all!  I went for a walk today and it reminded me of how much I enjoy being outside.. We/I am planning a camp out as soon as it is nice out.  So that should be fun... again i have to be patient to wait for nicer weather... 

This is somewhat of a ramble but it's just other day in the life...  (:

Home sick for Mexico

Wow, I miss Mexico!  Mexico was once again incredible.... I have been thinking so much about my family there.  I know it is always going to be a good day when I wake up from dreaming about them all night long!  I cannot wait to see them again...  I leave you with some pictures from January... I couldnt have wished for a better way to start the new year.

Justice week/venting

Oh Justice Week, it is kind of crazy that we have to set aside time to concentrate on Justice. It should be apart eveyday btu here it goes. At Geneva we have Justice week, student activities teams up with other college organizations like IJM and Acting on Aids to put it together. I am so thankful for student activities because if I know for certain if i was not in Student Activities I would not be as affected by the injustices that surround us. We had a speaker come in, his name is Chris. He stressed that people, even Christians do not do big, huge, great things. We are not capable. In fact we do small things, but what is important that we do those small things with great love. then hats what ill do. Justice week is opening my eyes to so many different opputunities to do small things with great love. Love God and Love people... that is all that matters.Other that Justice week.. I have fallen in love with Daraja childrens Chior. I have seen them three times and everytime I see them they move me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtZmc2NbPeg Check them out (: They will make you cry if you have a chance to see them i would highly recommend them. Their joy overwhelms you. Other that my life has been pretty low key...and sometime its hard being at school it just gets to me. Its not as bad as it used to be. On a lighter note-I am ready for break! Thanksgiving break is so close but so far away. I cant wait to just chill and not do homework every waking minute of my day. (: 29 days till im sitting in sunny FL! and 40 days until im in my favortie place in the world. San Luis Mexico<3

Be a blessing. God is Love.
