At the beginning of the week, (I'm referring to Tuesday) I got to hang out with my long lost buddy Hannah Beth. I just love this girl. We have been through so much together these past few years and its nice to get to hang out with her every once and a while. We decided to soak up a little sun and lay out by the pool for a few hours and then go treat ourselves to a lovely dinner consisting of our favorite salad place on campus! We LOVE our salads! That and we are both holding each other accountable for eating healthy. She does a much better job than I do! I also got to hang out with her a little on Thursday night after going to the Wesley. We decided to go get some mini frostys just to get a little taste of chocolate and it was GOOD! Afterwards, we went over to her apartment and just sat around chit chatting like normal and I even french braided her hair! I must say, I think I did pretty good for my first time!
I know I'm going out of order, but I'm going to talk about Monday now. Monday my sweet Paisley had to go to the vet to get spayed. I love her, but not enough for there to be multiples of her! It was such a shock when I got back from my mission trip to see how big she has gotten and even this week I can see her growing so fast! Zack can't really see it as much because he gets to see her every day, but she is getting on up there! I even have a hard time picking her up these days! I can't wait to see how big she gets!! :) She sure is a sweetheart!
And now I will talk about today, Sunday. I was pretty upset when I woke up at 9:45 this morning. For those of you who don't know, sunday school starts at 10:00. Obviously that wasn't going to happen. Thankfully I made it to the church service...but not on time. Why, you ask? Well as I'm getting ready and reaching in my closet to get a dress to wear I hear a "squish" and my foot is soaking wet. This has got to be a joke. For the past week or two my apartment has been having water problems due to the lovely people above us. Yay for college boys! (Catch the sarcasm?) So I sit here writing my blog, the contents of my closet are scattered throughout my room and I have a massive fan blowing on the floor. Oh the college life. Hopefully this does not happen again.
The final thing I would like to mention is the fact that late last night there was a shooting a Mississippi State University. A male student from Madison was shot at his dorm and died while receiving medical attention. Last I heard, the shooters have not been caught. Tragedies like this are absolutely devastating and are another reminder of how quickly life can be taken away from us. I ask that all of you pray for the family of this young man and give them some form of comfort in peace. Pray that they find that peace and comfort in God and also pray the same for the friends and fellow students. Times like these are never easy, but even when it is this hard, knowing that God is still in control and He still reigns and has a far more wonderful plan for all of us than we do for ourselves is something that can get each of us through the roughest times.And I will end with one of my favorite verses:
"The grass wither, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever."
Isaiah 40:8
