Updates...

I have not been posting because I am off the map, or a quitter...

I have not been posting because I have been doing way too much...

OH THE GOALS I'VE ACCOMPLISHED!! I can't believe all that I have to tell you about the past few months. These posts will take me forever to finish, but the stories are crazy and fun. This year has been something else. And I can't wait to tell you all about it. This week I am hoping to get this thing back on it's feet and running on FULL speed. Get ready to get your hair blown back....

Oh and now here is my favorite video right now....

God Tried to Kill me today...

Well...not really...but man do I feel like it.

My soul has been tapped out and left for dead on the floor of academic Christian schooling. Today was the hardest paper I had to write. Bible papers are difficult. They aren't like normal academic papers where if you get something wrong you are just wrong. In Jesus school if you get something wrong you have accidentally committed heresy against the God you serve. Oops. That makes writing and researching way more terrifying.

The other reason that Christian writing is extra hard is because not only could you accidentally commit heresy, you could accidentally change Christian doctrine. What? We don't want to do that, that's the worse thing we could do....But it's totally possible if you are wrong at something.

I just wrong something that was 11 pages long and I have no idea anything that I put on paper. or if it's right, or if it will pass the grade, or if it was in English. Maybe I started to break out and write in tongues, I don't know. Depending on your denomination that is totally plausible!!!

This is what I do know. I need turkey. I need football. I need to bite my tongue while listening to painful family conversations. I need pajama pants...post pie eating pants...snuggling. I need puppies. I need naps. Did I say I need football? I do I need football. I need to scream at a screen while men can't figure out which jersey to throw to, (thanks Simms). I need to high five with my guy friends and speak stats with abandonment! I need to do all of that while Snuggling a cute Roedel boy. Shout out to Riley!!

But all of this is okay...Because the hard part is over and I am on a downhill to experience all of that. I knew that that I loved Jesus. I know that I wanted to go to school for Jesus. I knew the LACK OF biblical knowledge I did not have. But I wasn't prepared to feel like I did when I was first learning how to drive: Given way too much power or responsibility without any idea how to work it. I know that will pass....hmph.

I need to eat Panera Bread....

Here Comes Denver...

I sit here in my couch in Cheyenne as I write this to you...

Outside is a green truck filled to the brim with everything I will need to live on my own. There is just one problem...

I don't want tot be on my own...

So far with this crazy plan everything has magically fallen into place. Financial Aid came through in the end. I found a job that provided me room and board! I was able to scronge up money for everything and so far any road blocks that have been in my way have been easily removed by the Lord.

So then why do I sit on my couch in Cheyenne, WY and wonder if I am making a mistake?

Cause I don't want to be on my own.

When God calls us to big plans, to big dreams, to the biggest working for his kingdom two things are always true: It will not always be easy, and it will involve risk. Right now I feel as though I am not only taking risk, but gambling with the things that I value most. Like MY MARRIAGE, or my financial future, or the life of my animalsm or my career. But most of all my marriage. How does one expect to be a supportive wife 100miles away?

I don't want to be on my own.

I sleep better in a crowded bed now! I like making dinner for two, not just one. I enjoy having programs we watch together. I just like being married. It's the best thing to ever happened to me, and the biggest blessing in my life. So how dare I be careless enough to put it in a risky situation?!? Am I following God or just being reckless?

Neither. I have to remember that I am following the will of God, and if I am not, He will tell me and I'll come home. And as for my husband, it is rock solid. And we communicate awesomely and as he said:

"No matter what happends, no matter where we are, or where you are, we will always be okay. I am not going anywhere."

It's time to have faith in my two favorite men in the world, Jesus and Rick, and hit the road. There is nothing wrong with being reckless, not with Jesus. Wish me luck, hope this post makes sense!

I'm Back!!!

Oh, the places you'll go when you stop writing on your blog!!

If you haven't noticed blogger fans, I have dropped off of the face of the planet. Why, you may ask? Because I didn't have a computer!! Finally convenience and ability came hand in hand and in the end I lost! I don't know what I lost against, but I certainly did not win!!

But there is good news, A NEW COMPUTER!!! That means, CONSTANT BLOGS!! For who? FOR YOU!! If you only knew of ALL the adventures that I have been on. Be excited! And also meet my new HP Pavillion Dv2 laptop! It is cute and tiny and just what I need to get ready for grad school. That's right, grad school. Which I start in two weeks. I missed you! Hope you missed me!!
