Deja Vu
02/13/07 10:14 PM Filed in: School
Could it be? Another snow day?! YES! God truly is good to the students of GBS
We received word tonight that
because of the layers of ice that coat
everything there will be no school tomorrow. I
can not express to you how much ice is covering
everything. They warned us this afternoon that
if any of our cars are parked under trees we
better move them because the branches are
beginning to break. It is absolutely treacherous
to go down the ramp to the dining hall! In fact,
one student simply sat down and without any
pushing glided down. There are also 60,000
people in Cincinnati without power! I pray that
it doesn't hit us! Well, tomorrow will be yet
another day of homework that I still didn't get
caught up on today. It's a vicious cycle. If
you're in this storm stay inside, and stay safe.

Snow Day!
02/13/07 01:20 PM Filed in: School
Is it true? Could my prayers have been answered?! YES! It is a snow day! I NEEDED a snow day! Although it would probably be more appropriate to call it an ice day. We are receiving a lot of rain here in Cincinnati that is already enveloping the trees in ice. It is absolutely beautiful! It's supposed to continue till around 7:00 P.M. from what I'm told. However, the day will pretty much be spent on all the back homework and current homework I still need to do. I was able to get a decent amount of sleep last night which I am very grateful for! Well, back to Doctrine of Holiness notes!

P.S. If any of you photographers were wondering how I took my camera out into the pouring rain, I took a garbage bag, ripped a hole for the lens and a whole for the viewfinder, and wallah, a weather proof container.
Weekend Home!
02/13/07 12:58 PM Filed in: Personal
Last weekend Megan, Joy, and I traveled back to MI
with Mr. Cravens (who had to preach a revival in
northern MI). It was SO much fun! Andy & Jenn
traveled up to stay the weekend with us. We went ice
skating Friday night where I was finally able to
defend myself from Andy's years of spraying me with
ice. I got up a lot of speed and with a sudden stop I
had successfully covered him with ice up to his
knees. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt...sweet
revenge He then proceeded to make me fall
in a ice spraying contest, 'sigh' So, he did
come out the winner after all We then went out to Cracker Barrel
for supper and enjoyed a delicious meal. With
that we called it a night and Megan went back to
spend the night with Joy, and I traversed back
to my house. Saturday we met up with Jason,
Kara, & Katie at Applebees for lunch, and
had a lot of fun spending time with them.
Saturday night Jordana Arnold and baby Emma came
over and we played ImagineIf. It was a good time
and helped my family learn more about Megan
& vice versa. I went and picked Megan up
from Joy's house Sunday morning and brought her
back to my church. Much to the chagrin of
everyone, the furnace on our church stopped
working and it was approximately 30 degrees in
the church. So, we went to the parsonage for
service. However, it turned out to be a really
good service, and the Lord helped. For supper we
had a personal favorite of mine, my Mom's tacos!
It's something of a family tradition. Jason
& Kara then came over Sunday afternoon and
we played Taboo. It was also a lot of fun, and a
good time was had by all. We attended Bird Lake
Church Sunday night and Megan & Joy sang a
special, doing a phenomenal job. We then left to
meet Mr. Cravens for the return trip to
Cincinnati. It was a long trip and we arrived on
campus around 3:15 A.M. Monday morning. Needless
to say, I used one of my skips for my 7:00 A.M.
class. And that brings you up to date on my
weekend. Have a great day!

It...Is...COLD!
02/04/07 08:57 AM Filed in: School
I was told that it would be cold outside, but, come on! This cold?! The SWSE (band) was supposed to go out today using the bus, but when they woke up this morning they found that the brake lines on the bus had frozen solid! They were forced to load everyone, and everything, into a caravan of vans. What an experience! It is definitely "bone chilling" cold in Cincinnati today! As you'll notice the fountain has literally inches of ice on it. It does make for good ice skating though! I trust you're staying warm!

Pretty Good Day
Hey everyone, Not too much to say, just haven't checked in with you all for a while so I thought I would give you a quick update. I had a very hectic day today with a test and a quiz back to back. I stayed up till after 1:00 A.M. this morning studying for the test and was still very shaky on it. However, I prayed and asked God for His help and He most certainly came through! While I did not get a 100% on the test, I at least passed it with an acceptable grade. I also received a good grade on the quiz. I am finding more and more that when my back is against the wall I can turn to Him for strength and guidance. He has always been faithful to pull me through, even when I may not have given the "best" performance beforehand. It's so amazing that even though we may have a hard time believing, He is faithful to us (2 Timothy 2:13). May God's presence saturate your day, and may you follow His will in every nuance of your life.
