p365: april 5

april 5: um. today was a whirlwind of emotions and panic and anxiety.

i found out i got accepted to one grad school and freaked out because i had convinced myself that i wanted to do the elon program. so all day i was having an internal battle with myself.

came home and jen was hanging out with one of her friends. we all sat up talking for awhile. olive got a hold of a pair of jen's sunglasses. they're supposed to be rayban's, but we think they're fake.

p365: april 4

april 4: another monday and another week.

nothing exciting really. i painted my nails with my new nail polish. highlight of my day.

door wide open

i am a stupid, stupid human. for the past how many months i have been whining, praying, and yelling to God that i need direction.  i need a sign.  i need to know where i should be and what i should be doing.  i was nothing short of throwing a temper tantrum and demanding that God listen and respond to me.

and he has. and now what am i doing? i'm hesitating. i'm scared and panicking. and i'm questioning if this is what i'm supposed to be doing. i mean really. do i need him to slap me in the face with it? apparently so.

it's amazing to see how the Lord provides, even when we doubt him. he has basically paved my way with yellow bricks, pointing me in the right direction.  there are still a few small details that i need to figure out and take care of, but the Lord has given everything else to me.

he has opened this door for me, handed me a compass pointing in the right direction, and now it's up to me to follow through. thankfully, i have wonderful friends who help me to realize that this is where i should be going and what i should be doing, and that it's not a trap. so i'm going to strap on my backpack and run through this wide open door and not look back, trusting, that through all of this, God is with me, showing me the way. 

hello grad school and another chapter of my life!

p365: april 3

april 3: went to discovery bible church again this morning. the message was a little bit different.  it was more historical and fact heavy, but it was setting up the background for the next few weeks. after church grabbed some lunch with amy and then headed into phonathon.

it was a pretty good afternoon. after work came home to relax. i bought this book when i was on vacation in florida but haven't had time to pick it back up and read it again until today. it's such very good so far. i've enjoyed all of dan brown's books. i'm hoping i'll have more time to finish it!

april 2: what a crazy day! woke up and went to bruch at bruce and becky's with a bunch of people, which was a lot of fun.  then i went to durham for the day with kelly and lauren. it was wonderful and i fell in love with the little city. it's just so quirky and unique and the stores and restaurants are so original. i've decided that if i ever settle down in north carolina, i will move to the raleigh/durham area.

after the day out came back and went out to dinner with balls, rachel, and caitlin. it was so good to catch up with them! i haven't gotten to see or talk to them in such a long time. i miss seeing them everyday in slane after lunch.  i've realized that it's the smallest things about college that i miss the most. that's one of them.

after dinner just relaxed at home. i was trying to read but olive kept disturbing me by prancing all over my night stand and knocking over my lamp.  i caught the culprit in the middle of her crime.

p365: april 1

april 1: short day at work because it was a friday and i work on sunday.  mofo was in town for initiation so i met up with her and balls for lunch. it was good to see her!

after lunch i came home and did some chores and cleaned up the house. becky had given me a bunch of her things to photograph, so i spent the rest of the afternoon photographing some of her artwork.  these are a few of my favorites. mini coffee mugs.

p365: march 31

march 31: went in to work early for a meeting and to go out for lunch with everyone. we went to this little place called taco corner in downtown high point. it looked super sketchy, but it was one of the best mexican restaurants that i have ever ate at! it was authentic mexican and it was so good!

came home after phonathon and had my package from amazon. i had been looking for this nail polish ever since florida! kelly and i had gotten our nails done and saw this color and wanted it.  i couldn't find it anywhere, but finally found it online!
