Christmas Break

Well its really weird for me to not have anything to do.

On a regular basis I spend most of the day on the go with only a lunch break and a dinner break.

But for the past two days all I've done is watch netflix and hulu, read, and play guitar/sing.

Its been a nice time to relax, but I'm already getting anxy... haha.

Other than the holidays I do have some stuff planned to keep me entertained. 

I will be going to Disneyland with most of my close friends on Thursday.

& then I have to work the rest of the weekend. 

A couple of Christmas celebrations in between and lots of catching up with old friends. 

Then a new years eve party at my church (this has been a tradition for the past 7 years). 

I'll also probably head down to Universal Studios with my sister sometime within the next two weeks. After that its back to school for me for the Leadership retreat and debriefing (i'll get to that later) 

This first semester of my Junior year has been a crazy one. 

This year I took on the leadership role of Resident Advisor at CBU, 

Assistant editor for our school's magazine (Pursuit) and yearbook (Angelos), 

and started singing with CBU's amazing choir and orchestra! 

First off, I'd like to say that this has been of a HUGE blessing. I really don't

deserve any of this. 

It has also been a big opportunity for growth. I have been 

stretched in so many ways throughout the past couple of months (and let me tell ya,

Im sure wore out) 

But in all honesty, this life is not mine, this life has been dedicated to Christ, 

so with whatever its is that I do, I will honor Him & please Him.

I know that from Him comes all my strength and that He will 

make all things work together for my good. 

I'm happy to announce that I got straight A's in all my classed this semester! 

This is a big accomplishment for me; Not only because its a 4.0,

but also because I didn't think I could do it, 

especially with everything that I have going on. 

Let me tell you, it took a lot of determination and organization and strength

from God to accomplish this. 

There's a bible verse that has been my motto for making it through this semester. 

The verse comes from Romans 12:12

It say's 

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
