All is well

Well we are nearing the end of term 1A - they are still trying to switch everything over - there are people leaving in may because they came last may and so they have to be able to graduate before they go home and so then we will start another term after that that will go until july and then i think they are just going to have 2 semesters and maybe only one intake per year i thought they said, but it might still be two, sometimes they have so many announcements in chapel i don't remember everything!!! things are good - i have a test tomorrow and then one more assignment to do which is due in a week and a half - which we've already done most of it in our tutorials anyways - Liz comes in one week from today!!! so excited!! I really like it here, i'm really learning alot about what i like about the church and the way they run the service and what i would want to do when i go from here - i think i want to do the degree though which is another 3 years! craziness - i really feel like settling here for a while that there is alot i'm learning here - there are so many opportunities to serve in many areas - and after getting my leadership assignment back i'm really trying to narrow things down and focus on where i want to put my time in and manage my time well - i've been getting up at 5:30 am to go to the gym, i love it so much, it feels so great to get up and get it out of the way! one of the things i've been learning is that i'm not consistent, i want to do everything but i never seem to really follow through on anything and anyone who knows me knows that i'm not the quickest to get things done when asked - right mom and dad! sorry - so i'm trying to be a person who finishes what she starts - i've wanted to work out consistently which is hard when school schedules are different every day - so i think the morning thing is really helping - i've also really wanted to memorize scripture - so what i'm hoping to do is write out scriptures on cue cards and instead of listening to music while at the gym i'm going to go over my scriptures - and so i did it today so far - so lets just hope i keep going with it - it's awesome to be here where you are in chapel every day almost and hillsong women, plus powerhouse plus 2 weekend services - you end up hearing a lot of the same scriptures over and over which helps get them into your spirit! i'm really blessed to be here right now, thank you to everyone who helped me get here and who continues to pray for me - it's such an amazing environment and i never want to take it for granted - yeah so i'm trying to prioritize things as well so i get enough time for me to do the things i want and i think i'm going to try to take like 2 full days out of each month just for me, to read and journal and reflect etc - i'm believing for a job as well - i've been putting resumes out to a bunch of places - just filled out an online one for coles/bi-low/k-mart/target etc and they emailed my references, so pray that i get called for an interview - i'm also looking into getting a car - our weekly ministry is at a university campus that we can rarely get to and it will really solve a lot of problems and well then i can have one to go on roadtrips and see this country while i'm here!!! so we'll see - other than that, i'm looking forward to the break and i'm trying to set our realistic goals and realistic steps to achieve them and keep looking at them so i can see them and have people keep me accountable to them - i'm loving my connect group - i love my leader she is great - i'm really looking to step up in leadership as well - just really be willing to step up and try new things - i've been really getting a greater passion for this university that we've been given so yeah it's going well - anyways i really should go - still want to journal and just read a bit tonight and then hit the sac early as 5:30 comes quick!!! thanks for checking in - love y'all
