I had a test today. I felt like it went pretty well. I was the first one done. I mean, I finished really quickly. I even tried to kill time to see if anyone else was almost done... no one. So I boldly stood up and walked my test down to my Professor. He seemed surprised that I was finished. I double checked everything. I'm sure I got it all. So I either knew the material really well, or I bombed it! We shall see...
Kyle and I are going to visit his family this weekend. I am SO excited. First, I just can't wait to be out of Chambana for a while. I really love Southern Illinois. It's beautiful and very different for me. Second, I haven't seen his fam in forever! They're great. They always make me feel like part of the family.
I am sleepy and I have major hat hair. That's pretty random. Have a good weekend.
Oh yeah, if you're "celebrating" unofficial St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, be smart and be safe.

Word Vomit
That's what I have. It's pretty gross. I become someone I don't know sometimes... These awful things come out of my mouth and as they come, I am thinking, "Who is this person talking? Not me!"
Now... there are two kinds of word vomit. One is when you say something one way, but meant it another... but the worst is when you just flat out say something mean or harsh, and you're not really sure why.
Why do we experience this? The Bible says that "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." But what happens when you say something that really ISN'T in your heart?
It's a strange sensation, this vomiting. I hope it stops soon.

Back from Lou-uh-vul
God is AWESOME! Oh man, what a wonderful weekend of growing with the Lord in worship, fellowship, prayer, and learning. Learning is fun when you love what you're learning, and this weekend was learning all about Christ and His Word. You know that song that was a hit earlier this year... I don't know who sings it, but it said something like, "...If I knew all about just one thing, wouldn't that be something?" Wow. How true is that? Well, if there's one thing I want to know ALL ABOUT, it's God.
I have another praise to share... As many of you know, I'm going to Romania this summer on a mission trip. My family has mostly been against it because of the cost. For ten days, it's going to cost about $2500. That's a lot of money! However, I have been very sure that I am supposed to go. Anyway, this week is apparently "Missions Week" for my grandparents' church at home. They've had all these missionaries coming in talking about the importance of missions, and what is being accomplished for the Kingdom of God. Until this, they knew little about missionaries. WOW! What a turn-around for my grandparents! When I talked to them last night, they were so excited for my trip! My grandma said she understood now why I was going, and she admitted that just a few days ago, she was against it. Now if only I could get my mom on board with them! Anyway, I had asked some of you for prayer in this matter. Well, your prayers and mine have been answered by The Almighty! Hallelujah!

"I'm gonna write a song about a liger. It's pretty much my favorite animal; they're bred for their skills in magic."
WOW! I didn't realize how many people READ my blog! This is crazy. There was actually a short discussion tonight after BASIC about MY blog! Weird. Awesome. I love it, really.
Leaving town in the morning for Louisville. It looks like I'm going to be the only girl in the car with... like... 9 guys! We'll see how that goes. I'm pretty psyched.
I need to go do laundry now because it occurred to me that I need clean clothes to wear in Louisville. I mean, I'm not so concerned about wearing CLEAN clothes when I'm here... my roommates have just accepted the fact that I stink. But now I have to room with people I don't know. I guess I should make a good impression.
Be back Saturday night, folks... (people who really read this!)
Have a good weekend!
