Life as of now

So currently, I am attending Continental School of Beauty in Henrietta. I started school there in July and will be finished in February. I have been learning so many things right now I am capable of cutting hair, coloring hair, perming, relaxing, nails, and some skin care. It has always been my dream to do this and I'm having so much fun. It has been an experience so far as you could imagine being in a classroom full of women. Some days can get ugly but when it all comes down to it we're all there to do hair and learn how to deal with each other. This week I have discovered one of the hardest lessons I need to learn. How to have confidence in myself. I find myself afraid of letting me be me. I want the people around me to know who I am and what I believe in. Easier said then done. Life in the real world is not what I thought it would be but I have support and love from a God who is stronger than any of my biggest fears. So this is what is currently going on in my life. I'm going to try and keep up with this blog and post some of my hair projects! Stay tuned

I had a wonderful opportunity to work in Nicaragua with ADRA. It is by far one of the best things I have ever experienced in my life. I learned so much that writing it all down would take forever. I learned so much about myself, the country, the people and most importantly about God. We had our share of difficulties on this trip and it brought us all that much closer to God. We left Nicaragua with our building structured and with heavy hearts. The children and people of Nicaragua captured all of our hearts and leaving them was the hardest part of the whole trip. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my short time there. God is working in this little school and town. Continue to pray for these people they need our prayers every day!

Decisions
I picked this picture because it reminds me of home. Home is where I'll be really soon!!! I am so excited but really nervous at the same time. I have been doing a lot of contemplating lately about my life and my dreams. Lately I have been learning to let go of what others want in life and live the way I've dreamed. Don't get me wrong I'm not rebelling. I still take what others think into consideration and respect advice. Its just that their are a number of things I've wanted to do with my life and I've decided to follow through with them regardless. I decided to take next year off (if all goes to plan) and get my license to do hair. I plan on attending The Continental School of Beauty in Henrietta and moving back to CUC and continuing my education after I'm finished. I want to do this for a number of reasons. It has always been my dream to do hair since I was a little girl and I figured what better time to do it than now? I also would like to have something I can fall back on in the future and have a decent job to get me through school. Doing hair has so many possibilities. I feel like this will give me a chance to grow for myself and make me become a more social person and met new people! I think it will be a fun experience and I'm so excited but so scared at the same time because one of my dreams is actually becoming a reality (like my Nicaragua trip!). I still want to continue my education here at CUC because as my mom says I owe it to myself to finish. I've come to the end of my second year of college and it would be a shame to put that all to waste. So I'm not giving up on that!

I don't know what the future brings but I'm for once in my life excited about this decision! I know that God has a plan for my life and I can't wait! Please continue to keep me in your prayers and thank you for all of your love and support!!!

~*Black Tie Evet*~

So this morning I woke up and ate brunch in the cafe and ran back to my room to get ready to go to the mall. Charlee and I had to find dresses for our black tie event! We were told that you had to dress up really nice for this event. The choir was putting on this dinner to raise money for their bejing trip. They are going to be performing for the olympics this summer and singing with Harvard! CUC choir is moving up in the world! But anyways so we got tickets thanks to Mamma D and Mr. K. So Charlee, Steve, Michael and I all piled in the bug and headed to the mall in Red Deer. When we got there we walked into the entrance where a grocery store called Safe Way (kinda like Wegmans in NY) was and we found that they had a Starbucks!!!! We decided to start our spending event with some Chocolate Chip Frappichinos! They were so yummy!!! So we all headed into the mall we peeked in and out of a few stores until Charlee and I found a store with ton's of dresses! Needless to say we were trying on a bunch of dresses until we finaly fould some! It was an adventure shopping let me tell you but it was so much fun! We managed to find our dresses rather quickly and headed back to the school to get ourselves ready. We were cramped for time but managed to get everything done and make it to the dinner on time. We were entertained by some of the Choir memebers and the food was chineese style. We piled our plates high with food and filled our tummys till they couldn't hold anymore. It was a really fun night full of good food and fun pictures!

Working
So I am working at the front desk right now, from 5pm-7pm. I don't mind this shift too much. Usually people just call and ask what time supper is. It usually gets quiet when everyone leaves for supper. So nothing exciting has been hapening so far today. I took the hardest test of this semester this morning. It was in Chemisty. I'm actually taking a science class called Physical Science which is a really general overview of Physics, Astrology, Chemistry and something else not sure what that is yet. But yeah it kicked my butt! I'm just relieved that it's over with now. I'm so thankful that its the weekend. The past few days have been really stressful and I'm anticipating a quiet weekend. Yesterday I worked ten hours babysitting, went to class and studied. I was saposed to work from 1am to 3am but thankfuly someone switched shifts with me! All I have to say is thank God it's friday!

Well since my last blog I decided to wait everything out. Or maybe I'm just ignoring the circumstance but right now I can't afford to dwel on it. We have one week of classes left and finals are coming up!! This semester flew by so fast! I'm excited about this summer and that brings my spirits up. I know God has a plan for my life and I'm not going to give up on my dreams. Like Noami told me the other day, you just have to keep positive and surround yourself with positive people. I am thankful for the encouragment I have been getting lately! I know God always works for the good of those who love Him. The challenges we face never go away. There is always something we struggle with in life, but God always works them out for the good. How would we ever grow if we never had struggles that made us fully depend on Him? My God is so good and I am humbled to be his child. So if you are facing troubles just know that Jesus loves you and knows your heart and will be with you!

Thanks for all your love and prayers!

Don't Give Up, You are Loved!
Well today started out ok. I woke up at 8am to clean for two hours then I went to my science class and had lunch. I sat with Michael in the lobby for about an hour until he finished his paper and went to work. Then I went to my room and laied down for a little bit. I decided I needed todo something productive so I decided to go to the finance office to start my financial clearance for next year, something I have been procrastinating. So I called and asked if I could come in and meet with one of the ladies. I got there and was really anxious. I prayed for good news and as soon as we started figuring good numbers things started to look not so good. We came up with a plan for next year but everything depends on this summer. I have to come up with a big lump sum again to come out here in the fall. I basicly have two months to come up with $4,ooo. I know its not imposible but right now it just feels like a lot. Well the lady that is head of the finance office came in to speak with me. She tried discussing a few options with me, none of which really seemed to be possible and asked me wether I have considered going to a different school. I almost cried! My journey here to CUC has not been easy but God has carried me though He has provided for me and right now I'm trying to figure out what to do next? I feel like He wants me to be here but at the same time I feel like maybe I need to be going in a different direction. So many options have run through my mind today and I'm still feeling lost. I just need all of your prayers. I need to decide what to do for next year. I know God is with me and will continue to do so I just need to know what direction He wants me to go in. I don't think its all about the money right now. Please pray for me.
