I hope it snows so I can play all day!

I think I have a problem being alone. Lately I have been unable to just be by myself. I always call someone, usually Leah, and/or I make my roommates (like Kelsey) hang out with me.  I used to love time alone but now I can’t stand it. I want to be around people- always. (except when I wake up… I don’t like talking when I get up) Perhaps I just have such great friends- I can’t get enough of them!:)

Anyways, I think it’s weird and blogging about it makes me feel better. Not sure why but it does. Its like confession… I guess.

Hey, pray for my Nana, please. She is in the hospital right now having some tests run on a mass they found in her colon. Within the next day or so we are finding out if it’s cancerous  or not. Also, my Bompa (yes, weird name- but my Nana’s husband) has managed to get the flu in the middle of all this mess. Please, keep my family in your prayers. Thank you, fellow blog friends:) I love you guys!

Blah

I want a mac laptop.

I saw 27 Dresses today and I think it might be me. Except I probably won’t have 27. I don’t have that many friends. More like 5 dresses. I don’t mean that for you to feel sorry for me. I’m okay. promise. (it’s just the consequences of going to umhb. )

Also, look at this- someone got a little sleepy during a service honoring MLK…. http://www.breitbart.tv/html/33364.html  Gale, who I talked about in a previous post, sent this to me. shows you a little more about her:)

He is worth it

Yesterday I went to visit my sweet friend Viola in the nursing home for the first time since I’ve been back. She’s a lady I met through Senior Adults Ministry a while ago and has become one of my most treasured friends. If you know me at all, this is nothing new:) Anyways, naturally, I was so excited to see her! When I entered the room and said my usual “Hi, Viola!”, she turned around with a smile on her face and said “OH! Julie!! I’ve been looking for you! I’m so glad you’re here!” And let me tell you, she makes me smile so big- my face sometimes hurts when I leave her room! Silly, I know.

I could go on and on about my old friends and the sweet memories but I’ll try to get to the story I want to share. I want to share how God showed His faithfulness and just pure goodness to me yesterday.

Allie and I also visit this older woman-Gale- that lives in Temple, who we met through Senior Adults Ministry as well.  Gale is a very passionate woman that makes me smile-and laugh, a lot. When I was visiting her before I left for the break I was sharing with her how I needed to go shopping for a pair of shoes for Viola. (It was what she told me she wanted for Christmas- and I was pretty sure it would be my favorite gift to give ever) When I told Gale this, she got really excited and told me she had all these pratically brand new shoes that just so happened to be Viola’s size (and were the older lady kind, which I don’t exactly have an eye for). So, I took these pair of shoes to Viola the morning before I left for break, excitedly hoping they would work for now and thinking I would get her a brand new pair later. Well, when I went to give them to her, she was asleep, so I left them on her wheelchair (she was in bed, I didn’t set them on top of her!) with a little note. I had completely forgotten about the shoes until yesterday when I was going to visit her. So, after greeting her and catching up, I noticed she was wearing the shoes from Gale! I asked her about them and she just raved and raved about them! She says they are the only shoes she wears now! She LOVES them! I just sat there smiling, thinking how sweet it is that the Lord is using this other part of the ministry to minister to this part! Even more incredible- I was able to be the link! I am being used by the Lord and in such a pratical way! I LOVE it! I love seeing his goodness so obviously and clearly. I am so thankful that he allows me to see and be a part of what he is doing. He is just so good. I am also thankful that he knows exactly when I need to be reminded of this. What a perfect, beautiful Lord

well, here goes nothin’

I’m excited about this semester. I only have class 3 days a week! I’m not sure what I’m going to do the rest of the time though. Study? Nah. Probably not. Any sugguestions?

I love my friends. They’re good at spending quality time with me and I love quality time. Its the way to my heart.
