A few days ago I met my best friend and her family at Sea World in San Antonio! So much fun! I'm a big fan of roller coasters (as long as they're not wooden), so of course we we ride the only 2 coasters in the park multiple times. I had always thought that the very front row was more adventurous; boy was i wrong! It is actually the very back row that's more adventurous! Try it out, let me know what ya think! It would not have been a Sea World visit without watching the Shamu show! Those animals are amazing! I decided I need to become friends with a whale or dolphin trainer. That way i would get to swim and have fun with them, but not have to worry about learning to train them because I don't have the slightest idea of where to start. I think i'll stick with kids instead of animals.
Well, it's my last day of freedom before school starts and I plan on soaking every bit of it up!

Praising God
About a week ago I had a sweet evening encounter with Jesus. He reminded me of the power he has and the power that's in me because he's in me. And how beautiful it is to be weak because that's when his perfect power and strength is revealed. He then reminded me how easy things can be if I trust him. And how he is the Jehovah Jireh, the provider. So, i'm praying and reading all these verses and thinking in the back of my head... He's reminding me of all this because i'm about to have money issues again because due to being on my own and being in college i always have money issues.
Little did I know all the events that would come up in the next few days, and how his word would be proven time after time...
- I un-excitedly went back to work at my old pre-school to help them get ready for the school year. If you know me well, you know how I felt about that. First of all, I was out of money and had to pay bills, well, after working there for a few weeks, I can now pay my bills! Praise God! And my boss is gave me $.25 more/hour! Praise God! And tomorrow is my last day there! Praise God!
- I was trying to register for classes, but it wouldn't let me because the gpa requirements were changed without anyone notifying me. The next morning I talked to an advisor about it and he was able to get me into the classes I needed! Praise God!
- After moving and unpacking I learned that my coat was missing. I went by my old apartment and called all my roomates and nobody had it. I assumed the worst since the last time I touched it was when I put it in the coat closet after the last cold spell, months ago. It's not like it was super sentimental or super expensive, I just got a really good deal on it and liked it a lot. My friend (and former roomate) Brittany calls a few days later and informs me it got mixed up with her coats when she was moving out! Praise God!
- Speaking of Brittany, we met up in Austin for a day of fun filled adventures. Me, being from a small town and never having my car towed, decides to leave my car at Chick-Fil-A and just drive 1 car around Austin. I look and see no "towing enforced signs" and assume it's a safe bet that my car will be there when I return later that evening. Brittany was a LITTLE more apprehensive than me, but I assured her it would be ok, and that I was trusting Jesus. Yeah, my car was definatly there when we returned later that day! Praise God!
Those are just a few things, and of course there are a few more things in the works as we speak. Praise God, for he is strong in me when i'm weak. Praise God, for he is faithful. Praise God, for he is love.

First Things First
After spending the day with my good friend Brittany, she successfully convinced me to start a blog. We'll see how long this lasts, no promises. I've decided to share my adventures ... my adventures with Jesus, with friends, with family, and my adventures in life. Happy reading!
