Today is one of those days that it is just so easy to succumb to my crumby mood and let myself get depressed. I have so much to do in only a few short weeks, so many things that should be stressing me out.
But then God lets me know that I should be counting my blessings, because when it comes right down to it, they far outweigh the things that are on my mind.

My bank account is at a balance of $0. I mean....zilch, nada. BUT, I don't need any money in it right now, because my year at LU is completely paid for! Where the payments for next year are coming from, I have no idea. Well, I do have an idea, they're coming from God. I have nothing to start on, but still trusting that He is going to provide a place for my next footstep to fall. It's been such an amazing and wracking experience, this last year. Honestly, I still can't believe how the Lord has taught me to trust in Him, and how He continues to teach me.

Today in Convo, our speaker was an astronaut, LeLand Melvin. He showed videos of his rocket blasting off, and of his time in space. Let me tell you, no one could pay me to do that (ok, unless it was enough money to pay for college...). I get nervous enough when my plane takes off, let alone careening into the atmosphere at 17,000 MPH in some metal death-trap. I think I've just seen Apollo Thirteen too many times. I also remember when the Columbia exploded, so those aren't bringing me any ideas of studying to be an astronaut.
What am I even saying? I mean, astronauts have to be skilled in the sciences...and I can barely pass Biology 101. Thank goodness.

Katy and I went to see Penelope this weekend in the dollar theatre...I thought it was really cute, I must say. The whole "pig-nosed girl" premise was a little cheesy, but it was all-in-all a good movie, and James McAvoy did very well, as usual. And when I say "well", I'm pretty much referring to his face.

I've been praying a lot lately about an opportunity that came up for next year. My RA approached me, asking if I would like to be a prayer leader in the fall. It would mean extra hours of things I have to do, but I think it could also be a big blessing. Her suggestion really got me thinking, so I think God may be trying to tell me something. It would also be a great opportunity for me to get more involved with my hall, and meet a lot of the girls. We'll see, I'm going to keep thinking and praying about it for a day or two, but then I have to get my application in.

Well, I have to head off to Theology class...it's just as interesting as it sounds (not at all). One of my classes ended last week, and I have another one ending on Wednesday, so I'm very much looking forward to the extra free time I'll be having, not to mention possibly being able to get in few extra hours at work so we can bring that bank account balance up just a tad.
