Sorry I haven't written in quite a while...I've been pretty busy.
Updates......school is going well...some mornings I wake up with no motivation whatsoever and occasionally breakdown to the point of crying because I'm overwhelmed and over-tired.
Now some of you are thinking "Yay....maybe she'll quit school after this semester!" and I'll just stop you right there.
There's a joy to going to school because it's not about being tired on the outside when I have energy in my heart. It's a blessing to have friends from swimming and just from life who are constantly there and talking to me and encouraging me.
I'm not saying I will or will not keep going to school. I'm leaving that up to God...because sometimes the places he wants us to be can make us tired. But the point in the sentence is the "...the places he wants us to be...".
It's not like school is a life-or-death missionary trip to the Himalayas, but it is a challenge. And if that's where he wants me to spread a little sunshine, I'll try and do my best. Even though most mornings I don't feel like it.
That's why I love this song:
"I won't give you more than you can take. I might let you bend, but I won't let you break."
It's also a blessing that almost all of the Freshman in the swim team are Christian girls. And the first 3 people I met at school are all really encouraging, god-loving girls who I'm really excited to see everyday.
Anyhoo, we've got a swim meet in Mukilteo tomorrow and we have to leave at 5:30 AM....so I've gotta go to beeeedddd. :)
Love you all, continued prayers are much appreciated.

I felt like that overwhelming school stuff too... especially this year. I'm glad that you've found such a good group of people! :D I love seeing you (almost) everyday! :))
