A few weeks have past...

Goodness gracious the past few weeks have been so ridiculously busy. So here are some of the highlights of the past couple of weeks...

1. I went to China February 15-22 and it was so amazing. I loved it. The food, the culture, the people, even the language was interesting to listen to, though I didn’t understand a single word of it. It was all so very interesting to me and I would love to go back to teach english one day in the future. I met my mom, sister and a family friend, Ms. Renee there in China for a week of site seeing. The real reason we went though was because my amazing sister got into the AMIS Women’s Honor Choir and the festival was held at the International School of Beijing. The choir was fantastic! I am so very grateful for the opportunity to go and visit this unique culture. God has blessed me more that I could have ever imagined with opportunities to see the world and explore other cultures. He continues to expand my world and I can’t wait to see where he will take me next!

2. God has been so very good to me in planning this China trip. I missed a whole week of school. i was a little nervous about making up the work that I missed and learning the material that I missed in the lectures. It turned out that I only missed one French class and that was a test. Class was canceled two of the three days I missed. As for the test I don’t have to make it up because we can drop one test grade at the end of the semester. My room mate is in my Civ 2 class so I can get the notes that I missed from her. My other two classes, History of the Ancient Near East class and Introduction to Historical Methods/Ancient Israel class, I missed the midterms. Dr.Tatlock allowed me to make them up on my own time (both of which I have finished as of last night!). Also I will not be tested on any of the material I missed from lectures in both classes. I seriously can’t believe how perfect it has all worked out!! God is so good and he has proven to be at work in every single detail of my life!!!

3. Things are coming together for me to get an apartment in the summer!! My friend Lauren and I have been talking for a while about this and it turns out that we have found a third room mate. This is another huge God thing. We were hoping to have a third roommate but just didn’t know anyone that was interested. I was praying about it on the way to Bible Study on Monday and there was a new girl there this week. We got to talking and it turns out she goes to Armstrong and is looking to move close to campus next year! So I got her number and we’ve been talking, so it sounds like we might have a third!! Praise the Lord!

So now that things are starting to settle back down a little bit after traveling, I don’t have any more make up work hanging over my head and I’m almost fully recovered from jet lag, hopefully I’ll be a little more consistent with my blog... but we’ll see :)
