Wow. It has been awhile!
Obviously, I have not visited my own blog since November. But the amazing thing is that it was about this time last semester that I wrote that post, and everything I said then really encouraged me today. I've been pretty overwhelmed, especially these last few weeks, what with all of my classes and homework and tests and papers. I definitely underestimated the volume of work that would come with taking 20 hours. I've been falling behind these past couple of weeks and I'm slowly catching back up. My teachers have been really great about it though, they haven't been penalizing me for my late work and they all seem to understand that I'm struggling to get it all done in time. I've been forcing myself to go to bed at midnight and sleep until 7AM because I know if I get sick or just completely exhausted, I'll never get anything done.
It's just been a lot of things at once. School, church, family stuff... I've been pretty discouraged with 720 these past few months. Our attendance has dwindled to about 10 people on Thursdays, including the band. Tonight, I bet the only girls in attendance are me and Kaitlin. More people come to the "720 Bowling Night" than our group time of worship on Thursdays.
It's really pathetic. I'm trying very hard not to be upset or judgmental.
One thing that's really been helping is that the band has been going to The Village Church on Saturdays. The worship and teaching there is so amazing. I feel so refreshed after just an hour there. Last week, we saw 9 people baptized and took Communion with them. I just love doing new songs and hearing Matt preach. God has really blessed us by bringing us there, I think.
Anyways, I know this blog hasn't been very positive... But I do know that God is faithful and that everything is for His glory. So hopefully the next time I post, I'll have some answers to my prayers to report.
OH in happy news, Kaitlin and I got approved for an apartment!! We are so so excited!! :D
I'd actually forgotten about that, I guess I'm still not used to it.. We've been waiting to get into the apartments basically since we moved into the dorms (at least I have). IHATEITHERE.
It is gross.
I can't wait!!
Have a good day everybody!
