my week thus far

My week has been insane but like ash I want to share my ups and downs :) Lets be optimistic and start with UPs.

Ups:
1. I don't know who my secret sister, hince "secret" but she has abundantly lavished me with Daisies, Scripture, Juicy Juice and a new polka doted glass! yay.
2. We finally got our painted Coffee Cups back from the beginning of the semester. Mine is cute and I def. needed a new coffee cup.
3. I'm being social!! It may sound dumb but It really excites me...Its amazing how left out and lonely you feel without being in community and then when you are its a breath of fresh air, praise Jesus!
4. I got to share a little last night at 2nd floor Bible study about Jer. 17, the girls responded well and even when I left they stayed and shared struggles with trusting God with one another.
5. I've worked out and ate healthy this week, I feel skinnier!
6. I understand Cell Lab this week for the first time and the smartest kid in the class is now my friend!!! I may actually pass.
7. I cleaned my room, finally! You don't understand It was DISASTEROUS and stressing me.
8. I tried Dr. Pepper Jelly beans, they are amazing. Kira let me try a few.
9. I finished the two tests I had this week.
10. God has really given me peace about the amazing guy I'm interested in. It's good not to fall into the social norms of day dreaming all day. It's TOTALLY God's grace and the amazing people praying for me. Is it bad that I told my nemaw about him so she will quit bugging me?
11. So God totally lavished me with grace when I didn't have time to complete my 3 hour study guide and someone just gave it to me "just because" ah!
12. I have been thanking God and praising him for all the things I don't like this week: the bitter cold, school, sleep deprivation, being out of shape, feeling weird without make up, singleness, everything haha. It's interesting. I really am trying to be thankful for EVERYTHING, I'll let you know what the result is!



Downs
1. Pretty much just bombed my physiological psych test today, oh well.
2. I am SOO sleep deprived, no really I am.
3. I failed my No make up vow and wore powder AND mascara yesterday, Elyse caught me and stole all my make up away!
4. I don't get to go to the social event of the year tonight because I'm on Duty and had to which I'd rather be covered for King of Hearts or FCA Prayers. Prayer it was!
5. My sister didn't get to come see me :(. Dang snow!
6. I have a presentation at 2 that I haven't prepared for and I'm deciding to nap instead.
7. I'm struggling to care about grades right now. Part of me cares and part of me doesn't. I don't know if that's good or bad? I've been asking God the point of grades themselves..
8. I have a bizillion hours of HW tonight, ugh. Why can't I just chill ever??

Okay..so the blessings outway the bad stuff! :)
