Giving up, giving in

Stressful doesn't even begin to describe this past week. I don't have to (and I don't need to) go into details but this week has really tested my faith in God. I've seen and felt myself being pushed beyond what I thought I could handle. Even though it's been a struggle to have my quiet time every single day, and even though it's been hard to thank God everyday for everything - it's been by only source of peace, strength and comfort.

However, some fun things have happened this past week :) My brother and his band "Crushing Juliet," played on Fox 13 this morning. I went to the studio to watch them perform and I was really impressed with their sound. I also went to the art museum at the University of Memphis today and walked around campus for awhile. When I went to the UC, I realized that the third group of new student orientation was going on. So, I wandered around and found the group of orientation leaders hanging out in one of the lounges. My orientation leader, Clarence, spotted me and we talked for a few minutes before he had to go find his group. Talking to the Juniors and Seniors at Memphis today really encouraged me - I'm so excited about school this fall, it's unreal. AND I got six inches cut off my hair :)
