Life is good
I've had a really good weekend so far. I actually had a pretty good week. I can't really remember what happened...I guess I could if I tried...it's too late in the evening to be trying :-P

First, God. Ain't He great? I think so. I really enjoy reading the entries in the Spirituality Circle. I read most, if not all, of them. Everyone has great opinions and ideas. Ya'll really get me thinking. I love it! It's so amazing the way He works in our lives. Example: My decision to pursue Physical Therapy...well, I suppose it wasn't really MY decision. God told me it was what He wanted me to do. I came to college ready to be a psychologist. I've really stuck with...I do love it! Then one day, at church, God told me He wanted me to heal people. I just had this overwhelming feeling that healing was what I was meant to do. That was the first step. Then I had to figure out how He wanted me to do it. I was zoning out in Accounting class when it hit me: Physical Therapy. I knew it came from God because I wasn't even thinking about it. And never in my life have I thought of doing that with my life. So, I went to an advisor and figured out what I needed to take and all that fun stuff. And...I can still be a Psychology major but I can take the PT pre-reqs. And I can still graduate in the next 2 years (I'm already in my 2nd year). AND over Spring Break I went to a hospital near my house (my mom works there) and met with a PT and found out that 2 of the other PTs there had their bachelor degrees in Psychology. AND one of them went to Grand Valley for his Masters. Could God have put me in a better place?!? These things don't just happen by coincidence. Just thinking about how it has all fallen into place makes me giddy! I can't wait to start taking my PT pre-reqs!

Another thing: God has blessed me with time today! It's been so wonderful! I prayed to Him this morning and told Him I wanted to be productive today. I wanted to get stuff done since I don't do anything on Sundays. So, I open up my planner to see what's due in the next week. What do I find? Two homework assignments, 2 quizzes, and 2 tests. Yikes! Where did all this come from?! So I just took a deep breath (I tend to panic when I have a lot to do) and dove in. And it didn't help that I did get off my butt today until like noon. And of course it is a GORGEOUS day outside and I am stuck in here doing homework. So, I worked on one of my homework assignments and then Liz and I walked around campus enjoying the sun. Then we had lunch and afterwards headed back to the room. I ended up finishing all of one homework assignment and nearly all of the other one. And I studied for my quiz on Wednesday. Then Liz and I watched a movie! And now here it is 11:15 pm. I finished way before my bed time! Praise God!

And now for the boring stuff! Oh wait...ya'll are probably already bored. Well then what are you still reading for? So here's how my weekend has been so far: Thursday night I played Olympic Spoons with Liz, Libby, Keith, Andy, Tod, Jen, Jenny, and Bethany. It's just like regular Spoons except we put the spoons on the other side of the room. I think we were all pretty sore by the end of the night. Yesterday Liz and I cleaned the whole room. We got it done pretty quickly. Then we went to downtown Holland near Hope College. We went into a few shops. I bought a book. Liz bought a couple shirts. Then we rented 3 movies for $0.25. That's right people...get a membership at Family Video! Haha! We got Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Rushmore, and Frida. Liz and I wached Robin Hood and then Keith and Bethany joined us for the other movies. We ended up going to bed around 3am. Bethany's train left at 7:20 that morning. So her and Keith ended up staying here until around 5:30...I don't know if they slept at all.

I talked to Chris this afternoon and he was telling me how he like exercised too much and so now he's really exhausted. So we're talking blah blah blah and then I tell him I'm going to go take a nap since I was up so late last night. So I said "I'll talk to you later. Have a good rest of the day!" And he said "Yeah you too baby." What?????????? Hahaha well I don't remember if that's the exact words but the point is that he called me "baby." And then he blamed it on his exhuastion. Hahaha that's cute. It was funny. It was like, "Did he just call me 'baby?'" Oh man, it made my day. I don't know if he ever even called me "baby" when we were together. Oh well, either way it was just precious.

Tomorrow is church, Meijer, laziness, dinner, and Bible study! Should be a great day!

Peace out and God bless!
