That's a lot of stuff right? Yeah, I'd agree. There is so much going on, but sometimes it seems as though not a lot is happening right now. I will be glad when I can settle into a nice salary range, a nice home, a nice car, and then I can start to give back. That's the funny thing with me. It's not that I'm never satisfied, it's that I want to be in a place where I can focus on my giving, not my getting. I feel that it is possible to do both, but a lot of times God will bless you so that you can be a blessing to others as well as when you bless others He will bless you! I think it's an awesome dichotomy. In my life though, I'm so consumed by the getting (in terms of getting things in order) that I put all the great things I want to do on the back burner. That's not happening this year, this year, I'm going to do both.

So, that's a goal. Let's try for the getting and giving thing. One other thing; school. I did an awesome job on my mid-term for one class (which I give all glory to God for) and now we have a group project. Now, I'm gonna say this. WHY get into a grad program without access to a computer with the internet?? I mean for real? My group member ( yes I'm gonna toss in that she's a bit older) is lacking the computer skills. She's killing us. I don't want to put her on blast but she's messing with our grades. If I can get that on track, then that would be awesome. I really don't care for this class so I'm just going to get that out of the way.

Easter. YAY GOD! Thank you Jesus! You know, as much as I like -read LOVE- Christmas, I really am touched more at Easter. You just can't lose the message for Easter. It's in your face, gritty, and deep. He died for me. I mean, I can't forget that. ( Busts into "I can't forget".) There is no way that I could ever forget that. He is so awesome to me and he is just remarkable for that sacrifice. So in honor of the fact that the Lord came and died for me, I'm making greens! :) Mustard Greens at that! I know I know, but its the best I can do for the moment. My mom is cooking and you know, she has some good things to throw in the pot. It's supposed to snow all this weekend, wouldn't it be great if the Lord smiled down on us and gave us some wonderful snow-less weather?? I know right! So we're gonna pray on that. I have a cute purple dress that I have for Easter that I want to wear but I will be freezing. I have a nice sweater to wear with it on the oh so early Easter.
