bonjour, bonjour

Im back! after much busyness procrastination, I have come back to let you all know what has been going on in the past weeks. I have to confess, I dont write, because I feel each post has to be long and involve drawn out thought. But I have realized, they dont- so I vow to try my best to blog each day about what impacted me most from the day.

To follow up from the french paragraph from the last post: its in french- the point was for you to translate it! I want to learn French, so I am translating some of my post into french for fun ;)

J'ai découvert des classes de langue française à DBU ! Je suis excité pour leur prendre mes semestres restants à DBU ! En outre, je vais obtenir la pierre de Rosetta (niveau 1-3) en français bientôt de mon ami merveilleux Hayleah ! Je biseaute l'attente pour apprendre !

Current song: The Way I Am, Ingrid Michaelson! 

Since I last wrote, I've experienced New Years, moving back to school to start working, and started going to a new church! 

New Years did not go as planned in the last blogpost. There were some changes to the party and we decided to go to the Youth Lock In at Trinity Baptist Church to ring in the New Year. It was fun. I was able to be on the other side of the annual Sardines game. I LOVE the game sardines, its pretty much amazing.

I moved back to school January sixth to start back at work. I work in the international office at DBU and love it! I love working with international students and trying to make their time at DBU fun and valuable. It a great opportunity to show Christs love to those from other cultures. My work schedule has not been the greatest, only because I am not used to it. This past week, I worked full time hours (40 hours). Some people think that is easy, smeasy, but for a girl who is definitely not used to getting up at 7 in the morning everyday, its killer. :) I have been exhausted from it, but its all worth it! Since I have been back at school, I have spent time with my wonderful roomies and Brandon and Julie. They have an awesome new dinner nook area which is too cute! I have also been awaiting the arrival of my other roomie from Cali, Brandi. I am so glad she had to drive, and not me- I would have pulled all my hair out DRIVING from Cali to Texas. Also, since being back at school, I have gone cookbook shopping. Its a rarity for me, since I hardly cook. But my roommates and I are inspired to cook more together this semester. We are going to try to cook real dinners and see how it turns out... it might even be cheaper- a huge PLUS!!

I have had a passion to make a point to deepen my relationship with Christ this semester. One way I have decided to live for Christ everyday is to start making my prayer, bible reading, and church time an everyday occurance. It is crazy to me how I kinda fell off the church map this past year and lost my daily time with Christ. So, I have decided to get involved in a church around here. Hayleah and I have started going to Fellowship Bible Church, Dallas. They have a contemporary service on Sunday nights that is geared towards college students called Fellowship Metro. We go to that and love it! We look forward to going every Sunday now. The Worship leader there is Jeff Johnson: he is great- you should check him out on iTunes. We have also decided we want have daily prayer and bible studies with/for each other. Im excited to see where this semester will end up!
