Hope

It has finally hit...the half-way mark of Senior year! (Next semester I will hopefully have a better camera because that is what I asked for...so, this can turn into a blog with more pictures!)

Where in the world is the time going? I am sitting at home with one semester left of my college career.

One.

As you have probably figured out by now, I am extremely futuristic. But instead of viewing this as only having one semester, I am going to try my absolute hardest to view this as I get one more semester. I get one more semester with the people who have become a whole other family to me...with the mentors who have invested in me and helped me to grow.

And I am blessed beyond measure to have the amazing floor I do. B4N is a wonderful place to be. I have met some of the most incredible women on this floor, and God could not have put them in my life at a better time.

Next semester is also going to be full of a lot of opportunities...(stay tuned!). There is one in particular that I am pretty excited about but will share in due time. I get one more semester to glean and learn all I can from the people and environment that is Evangel. I could not be more thankful that I do.

Next week begins work. I am working at vet clinic for 6 days to help them during the Christmas rush. God also dropped that right in my lap. Thank You for the opportunity.

After that, I get to go to Memphis. I get to see my kids. :D :D :D :D :D

I am pretty darn excited in case you couldn't tell.

It will have been 5 months since I have seen any of them, and I cannot wait for the opportunity to hold them in my arms once more. I still see their faces. Of all the people in the world, God chose little old me. Me. And in a few weeks time, I think even more of my future after school will be made clear.

Until then, I fully intend on enjoying every last minute of the present. I will have many a bonding experience in the months to come. This break has already been one full of events! My wonderful friends, Tom and Tori, paid for me to go see the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. SWEET!!!! And, I got to see the latest Chronicles of Narnia movie yesterday.

It's the little things.

T-minus 8 days til Christmas.
T-minus 2 weeks and 1 day until Memphis.

I'm continuing to hold on for the ride of my life. :)

Love you guys,
Em
