Computer Lab Technician

Computer Lab Technician- yup thats me. Now you all know that I am not the Queen of technology so you are probably wondering how I got a job in the computer lab at ACU. Well, that's easy, my roommates dad is in charge of it! What can I say- I got the hook ups. As far as my job description...currently it consist of sitting at a desk minding my own business & not letting anyone take food or drink into the lab. Thats about it. It's a good place to get my homework done! So as I sit here at the enterance to the once again empty computer lab I decided to take you on an adventure through the first week of school.

It satarted on Monday. Pretty easy day for me. I only have one class, Greek. Man was I in for a surprise. You see I had every intention of keeping up with my Greek over the summer, but like most of you my summer went so fast I really have to think to recall it. I say all that to say- I did not finish- or really even start- my summer reader and thus I found myself almost completely overwhelmed by the Greek New Testament that we started reading on the first day. It was a blessing from the Great Lord above that things started to come back to me as we were reading but to be perfectally honest- If I had to take a test and write out the Greek alphabet right now- I would fail it. I suppose I should study huh?

Tuesday was my first real day I suppose. I have 5 classes on Tuesday including a night class on the Gospel of John. My professor in this class is the oldest professor at ACU. He started teaching BEFORE my dad was born!!! Are you kidding me??? He has to sit down to teach- it's cool. He really is pretty cute. For those of you that know about my box- I would put him in it. My other classes are pretty cool too. I have David Wray for Education Ministry of the Church. I actually read a whole chapter on the history of education in the churches of Christ and found it interesting! Go figure. I have Reflections with Guilde, Reese (the woman), and Oglesby; Foundations with Oglesby and Participation of African Americans in the Restoration Movement with Robinson- he's a professor for the box too. It's cool that they are offering this special topic class this semester for lots of reasons but MOSTLY because it takes place of my Church History class! Praise the Lord. Funny thing, Mary Foster is in this class. Is it bad when your own child won't take you class because she thinks it's too hard??? Probably.

Anyway! That is basically what my schedule looks like. Monday & Wednesday 1 class and chapel Tuesday 5 classes and Thursday 4 classes and Friday 0 classes. All I gotta worry about on Friday is getting up for Praise Day in Chapel. I love Praise Day!

More News in my life. I am part of a 6 member team who has been recruited to teach the 8th grade class at Highland on wednesday nights. It's really kind of exciting. I can't wait to see what direction the Lord leads us in. If you would keep that in your prayers that would be awesome!! My other teammates are Randy and Jennifer who will be leaving in March to do mission work in Brazil, Chris Lair, Heather Randall, and Clint Askins. I think it's gonna be a great year.

Boyfriend news! He's great! We are going home for Labor day trying to work it out where our families will be able to meet- that would be cool! Pray that we have a safe trip next weekend!!

Everything else is great! God has really blessed my life lately! Praise God for his generosity.

Be Blessed!!!

Back to Life, Back to Reality!

Well it's back to school in a day and some hours!! It's been crazy! I have been here for 2 weeks and I still can't believe I have a house!! It's a little bit overwhelming to know that I am an upperclassmen in college but I enjoy it!

We just finished welcome week tonight! It was so much fun. I met a lot of new people and I got to know a lot of people a lot better! It was so much fun to be part of the planning of the week and I can't wait until next year to do it again!

An update on my boyfriend. He has been at LCU for about a week now and has auditioned for and made the singing group called Best Friends. He is one of two new guys that they took into the group and now he's gonna get to perform every where and be on a CD!! I'm so proud of him.
Anyway- I gotta go!!

Be Blessed!!!

Little Moments

I love that song Little Moments by Brad Paisley. It's on the radio right now. I can't wait until tomorrow!

Last night was a ton of fun. The Intern Farewell Party was great and a little bit sad but for some reason it didn't really hit me until I was leaving last night and said good-bye to one of my Freshmen guys. Sometimes you really don't know if what you have dedicated you time to doing for so long has actually had an effect on anyone until they tell you. That's how it was for me last night. I feel like I have done my job all summer and I know that this is the kind of job where you don't necessarily get to see the fruits of your labor but last night I got to and I felt like God has really worked in this church this summer. God is so good. .

Well my dad is here to chat with me so I'm gonna jet!

Be Blessed!!!

How 'Bout the Country

Well, my visit to the country was nothing less than amazing. Mostly because my boyfriend was there and I got to spend the whole weekend with him but I also really enjoyed everything. I love the small town atmosphere where everybody knows everybody. We seriously didn't go anywhere and not run into someone that Hugh didn't know. It was great. I have pictures documenting my visit to Austonio/Crockett. OH!!! I got to ride on the tractor!!! How totally cool! I have a picture of that too. So the country was everything I expected it to be plus some. Before I left Hugh took me on one of his walks and we prayed and it was the most amazing experience ever. There weren't a whole lot of starts out and a lot of cars drove by but there is nothing like walking in the dark with the light of the moon shining down and talking to God that will really convict your heart. I feel so blessed!

Everything else is going well too. This is me last official day on the job and I have worked harder today then I have all week. I am trying to get the song books done before tonight so that I am not rushed to do them tomorrow. There are 75 books left to do. I must say I am a little bit sad about leaving but I really don't think the reality of this being my last day has quite set in yet. Maybe that's because I have things to do until Saturday morning and maybe because right after I get done here I start welcome week stuff. Either way I don't feel like I am leaving yet. It's weird.

I'm gonna go help the girls cut the songbook covers! Hope everyone has a great day!

Be Blessed!!!
