This is what happens when you make a teacher mad

The teacher gives you a 3 page paper to write.

Yeah. Pretty 'el stupido' if you ask me, but who am I to have an opinion!?

My American Lit teacher was upset in class yesterday that very few of us had read the assigned text.

So she, being the intelligent person that she was (not) assigned us to write a 3 page paper on Thomas Payne.


UGH, as if I had nothing better to do with my life, I get to right a 3 page paper before Monday at noon.

I'd like teachers to get the memo: I have a life outside of your class!!

Yes, I survived

Little People Yes, I did indeed survive. I actually spent most of the time holding a little guy who didn't want to be alone. The kids were so cute :)

I missed the sermon, and that's never fun.... but I had a good time with the kids!

West Valley Presbeterian Church

to be a church for the West Valley,

in order that Jesus Christ is celebrated as

the only hope

for the brokenness in us and around us

Take two of a preview of all of this happens in just over an hour.
I'm excited to see how God uses this church.

The week is over,another begins!

My Week Yes it over (well, in a an hour). It was a tough one.
I said this in my last post and I say it again: there is a LOT going on on in my life.
It goes beyond school, it goes beyond my job.
And this week has brought more.

A long conversation (and long delayed) I talked to a friend that I haven't heard from since January. She has gone through a lot, more than I could have ever though was possible. The fact that she still is living and trying to get past what happened, is just an amazing inspiration and testimony to God's Grace and hand over everything.
I can't share much more, but please pray for her.

Photography Something I pretty much think about all of the free time I have. There is good reason for it, and I will share some information on that SOON!


Munchkins,little people, kids As in, I'll be watching them tomorrow during the service at West Valley PCA. I got a call tonight asking if I would help with the kids on the morning (because I was on a short list who has gone through the background check and could). I'm exited! I've working with the 6-8 year old range at Cornerstone, but this is my first time with really little people! (2-4 year olds is the age range I think). I'll let ya'll know how it goes. Hopefully I'll survive without stained clothes or glue everywhere! :P

Just another week

Is it the weekend yet? No, but thursday are pretty easy! I need it.

Seriously...I'm in serious 'Rush till you got no more energy left in you' rut. I want to get out of it!!!

School is busy, work is busy, and it's just the start of the business...or was that the last time I blogged?

I don't know. But it's busy.
I need to get on a set schedule of studying, and once I do that I will be fine and not rushing as much.

Along with school and work, I'm part of so many other things... but that's discussion for another day.

A day that's too long.

That is, today.

I am spending the day working...a long long day.

I went into work at 8 this morning. (which is way to early for ANY day of the week!!!)
The morning wasn't bad, but I am not holding onto hope that the evening will not be.

I got done at 1 and went home, and am currently trying to ENJOY my 2 hours away from work, and then I go back from 3-11 (which will probably stretch out to midnight).

Then I will try to drive home (if I haven't gone crazy and driven off a bridge halfway through my shift) to try and get a decent nights sleep before I wake up to go help set up for the 1st West Valley PCA Service! (that part is actually exciting!!!) More to follow about that tomorrow!

But first.....I have to get through this horrible day of work.

Trying to plant my feet.

That I am.
In more ways than one.

I'm trying to be more consistent about blogging (I promise).
I'm trying to work my way around the boxes and piles of junk in my room and get things organized so I have a Room here at my dad's house,not just a room where I keep unorganized junk!

and....I'm trying to get my life in order as well. That is, it's not in order now. I'm trying to get better about preparing enough time for the things that need attention, most importantly, studying!

I haven't fallen behind in school YET, but I'm getting into those make or break weeks where you either set yourself to do well, or get so behind that you set yourself up to never recover the rest of the semester, and you spend the entire rest of it just trying to keep your head above water with your work, but you are so behind that there is no hope to succeed.

So with that said, I've realized that I need to be more organized, so I'm doing my best to keep up with the school work, and so far I'm doing ok.

Time to make or break.

Alive, Barely

Yes I am I alive
Yes the blog died for a while
Yes I am back to stay,as is the blog.

Where was I? Trying to figure out life and where mine is going, specifically for this fall
What have I figured out? I know that I am living with my dad in Reading,PA. I am going to RACC (Reading Area Community College). I am working at a restaurant near my dad's house.

Besides that, I haven't figured out much.

I thought I had things figured out. I had a job for Sleepy's paying decent money.Then out of the blue, I lost my job. The position was no longer one within the company. Apparently, they are not making enough money to pay someone to sit all day for 20 hours a week. GO figure.

At that point, a good friend helped me get a job at this restaurant. It doesn't pay much, but its close to home and gives me a decent amount of hours. For that I am truly thankful. God has certainly showed me what hard work REALLY means, because I work my BUTT off.

With that said, the job is going well, and I am looking to get an increase in hours hopefully sometime this month.


Other than all of that, I have been helping my family pack for Virginia, and they moved last Monday. :(

More details on that to follow, but it was a crazy time as I tried to help them get the house packed up while also trying to figure out what I was going.

I'm learning more and more that trying to figure things out on my own doesn't do very much good. Instead, it leave me hanging by a thread feeling like 'Yeah I'm alive, but barely hanging on', just hoping God is TRULY holding on to me.

This post is vague, and for good reason. I will discuss many of these things in details face-to-face with many of you over the next few weeks, and will also fill in the blanks .

Until then,
Viva la Vida!
