Highlight: Friday. During the day we got to see downtown Portland. In the evening, Mac and Jon's friend, David, came over. David is without question the funniest person I have ever met. And it was so great to hang out with Mac again. We played several games which were incredibly entertaining. Later, we danced for a while. After everyone went to bed, Jon, Mac, and I played keep-it-up with a balloon... for, like, two hours while listening to Michael Buble and Michael Jackson. It was such a funny night... we were all tired and just cracking up the whole time.
Ok, so, it was an absolutely wonderful week and the whole time I was ready to give up on school. The thought of returning to Minneapolis and 7 weeks of school simply disgusted me... (keep in mind: the day we returned I was miserably sick and had just spent 30 hours in the car). However, this morning in class, I received the first boost of grace, strength, and motivation to finish well. It has been my prayer all semester, but I haven't really been living that way. I don't want to look back with regrets on my last semester of high school.
That being said, I want to live the next two months very intentionally by really pouring myself into my studies and savoring the precious little time I have left with this year's students. This means I need to take control of my time and use it well, not waste it, which I find that I do all too well. Praying for grace.
Finally, a few things I'm looking forward to:
1. I turn 18 next Monday... crazy.
2. Spending more quality time with the girls (Becs, Katie, Kristi, Liz, and Hannah).
3. Summer and sunshine.
4. Starting at BCS in the fall. Absolutely stoked.
5. Serving at Lausanne in Cape Town, South Africa in October. What an incredible opportunity.
God is so good to me. I am more than blessed.
Ok, I really need to do some homework before my next class. The productive time usage begins now. :)
ciao,
