Life.Is.BUSY!

Ok, sorry I haven't written in a while I've been uber busy with school and stuff. We're starting to write the devotional, and I have some major math homework that's really hard, aaaaand I have to start researching for Bible 1 on Daniel and Revelation. Oh and did I mention this year is super weird? I'm changing! I guess it's for the better but it's strange. Ok...so I ran in PE. Me...Moriah I RAN! I kept up with Morgan Barrow! Which is quite the accomplishment will have you know! And I went for a run early this morning, and did home work (something I never do) I've been doing it faithfully every night. I even ate salads int eh cafe!!!! And turned in every unapproved thing I own, and to top it off every free moment I have I spent studying.....that's big. Oo...and on the down side we had voce lessons today with Craig....I think I did bad, of course I never think I do good. Probably cause I never do! Hehe, kinda a bummer though cause most of my friends got into mixed chorus. Oh well, no biggy. I will attempt at brushing things off, something I desperately will need to do this year. Well I really need to go study, this is the longes I've spent doing something fun in a long while.

Sweetie...do you need shoes?

OH MY WORD!!!!!!! The FUNNIEST thing just happened! Ok...So there's this girl on my hall who's new so I went and introduced myself and answered their many questions. And then she found out I was a missionary when she had learned this valuable bit of information she then proceeded to tell me that she had put some things in the ADRA bin so I should feel free to look through. I about died trying not to laugh! Same lady who when they visited last winter and saw me wearing boots that were ducktaped together stopped me in the road and said "sweetie, do you need some shoes?" OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I love them already! heir SO cute!!!! And they have the sweetest accents their from my neck o the woods in TN! WHOOOO GO SOUTHERNERS!! I can tell I'm gonna like these people...Come to think of it I should have said yes on the shoes! :P

New Year, here I come!!!

I just had the most amazing morning! And ya know what? I actually like working! No wait...I LOVE IT! I've been working janitorial and I found that I really enjoy cleaning things to perfection. :) AAAAAAAAAAAND I got to drive the cube van! :) And there's tons of people arriving! Mostly new people...I'm doing my best to be all friendly and welcoming...Cause usually I'm shy so this year will be the change! And cause Rosa told me the reason she put me in the room I'm in on main floor was because there was lots of new people on my hall and I'm friendly...I dont know where she got that cause I thought I was pretty anti-social! But since she thinks that I'll do my best to live up to expectations!
I'm just SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!! All of my best buddies are coming today!!! I missed them so much...It's a little weird too though because after being a new person for a year I'm finally old! :P It will be weird at first to have new people join our "family" I mean thats what we are...we're so close. We always look out for each other and encourage one another. But I'm also excited to be able to be that person who makes the new people feel at home. :)

I'm slightly worried about our split class, our class will be split into 2 this year so I dont know who's in what class and I'm kinda scared I wont be with my friends. I dont want us to drift apart...Especially my best friend. But I guess there's no sense worrying about it since I cant change it I might as well embrace it! I think that should be my new motto. :P Anyway I have to go to work so I shall try to blog next week after the first camp out! :D

Mission Weeding-COMPLETE!

I just had my LAST DAY WEEDING!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEP!!!!!!1
Ok...I'm officially excited to celebrate I curled my hair. Ok that sounded odd and a bit vain. But you see after a whole summer of not trying to do anything with my hair I'm starting to feel quite grungy. So it's a very pleasant feeling to feel pretty again! :)

And everyone's starting to come back! I'm so happy...I feel like squealing and jumping and singing all at once...which is exactly what I did on my way back from weeding when I was very sure that I was alone in the field. Tee hee! And tomorrow....Ah what wonderful words! Tomorrow I will scream muchly! :)

OK!!!!! SO It's 2 days until everyone comes back to school! Needles to say I'm super duper excited! :) It's gonna be a great year!!!
The only trouble is auditions...I HAAAAAAATE auditions! And I have to do 2! :( And since I haven't practiced all summer my skills are...well...lacking. :P And as for my voice auditions I always get really nervous and end up singing way too quietly. And now it's time for breakfast! And since eating is one of my favorite things to do I shall bid you farewell!

GLOWING

I had the WEIRDEST dream last night! I was was walking down the street and I saw a man packing a bunch of books in boxes somehow I knew he was packing up an old library. So I stopped to help him and I was trying to figure out how to give him a GLOW track. So I asked if he liked to read and he said yes so I was about to give him a GLOW track but then I realized I didn't have any with me. So right then a guy from FVA walked by and he stopped and gave me a GLOW to give to the guy. It was really odd...

Hear My Cry (It's not finished yet)

Hear My Cry (Free Verse)

God why don’t you answer

Why don’t you hear?

His voice calling out to you

A voice filled with fear

He needs your help

He needs your caring hand

Why don’t you hear him?

Just help him to stand,

Hear my cry oh Lord,

I’ve tried it on my own,

And now I know you are there

To hear my prayer

Oh Lord hear my humble prayer,

He’s running away,

From life and from you,

The life you have chosen is fading from view,

He looks to the world for comfort and peace,

When will he see that you’re all that he needs?

By Moriah Mays

Moving again!

It's finally the weekend! We went to the lake yesterday for Ethan's baptism, it was really nice. :) And now today I can actually spend 1 whole day doing whatever I want!!!!!!! Oh what an amazing idea...So I shall spend my day unpacking my room...again. I just moved again from the Senior girls dorm over across campus again to the other girls dorm. We have 3. I've moved SOOO many times in the past year! I guess it matches the rest of my life! It would be weird if I didn't move I guess...

Anyway so school is starting again in 2 weeks. Seems like last summer is so far away...like it was years ago. This summer has gone by so fast but also so slow. Like it seems like it's been forever since it was school but also like it was yesterday.
I have a whole bunch to do in the organizing of my room so I should get to it. I am utterly determined to have it completely finished by tonight!

Thankful

Ok y'all! I am officially talented! I ripped a hole in both knees of every pair of jeans I own that fit me...the rest are too big now. Not sure what I'm gonna wear to work...a skirt I think would be a little...um...Yeah no. Anyway, I got up 5 min before work today because we started at 6. Did I ever mention I'm not a morning person? I was grumpy all morning because it was really cold, wet and I was tired. Then the song "Thankful" By Josh Groban came on and I felt bad. Lately I've been working on smiling. And no it's not just because Craig bugs me about it so much during choir. It's because everything gets a little better when you smile, even if your having a bad day.

The extra time at work gave me time to do a lot of thinking. I was thinking about what job to get next summer, and in my sleepy delusional mind this is what I came up with. I could work at a day camp that I went to when I was 10. It's in Michigan, and since I dont have a house I could live in a tent in the woods...and have a little garden and eat only cucumbers for the whole summer. Yeah...I was REALLY tired! You see all the jobs that I came up with didn't feed you, so I would either starve or eat off a garden. I thought about dumpster diving but...I think that's a little low...and gross. I mean...it's not cause I cant afford food, I just dont wanna waste money on it! :P Yes, I realize that my logic is messed up a little.

YOU have a purpose

I wish people didn't make assumptions...What would life be like if everyone saw everyone else exactly the way they were? Like...what if all the bad people were ugly and all the nice people were beautiful? Like a reflection of their characters. Well...I suppose there would be a whole lot more ugly people in the world then beautiful ones. But it would be so much easier that way....

Sometimes I have no hope for humanity. People are so darn stubborn! I mean...I'm FAR from perfect but at least I try! So many people go through life content with being average. Well I dont want to be one of those people. God created me for a purpose, I'm not a accident, nobody is. Whether their parents meant to have them or not God knew them before they ever existed and he knew who they would be. He had a purpose for every one of them! I just wish everyone would see that.
While at ASI I got a job offer in India, and one in Ireland, both missionary positions. But I also had at least 10 people trying to convince me that I HAD to go to college. One man told me "NO matter what you must go to college, you'll never make any money otherwise and you will always regret it!." Well Mr...I dont care about money! Why are people so obsessed with money???? All I want is to spread the gospel! There is SO little time left! All the signs are happening showing the soon return of Christ! And when he comes...I dont want to say "Lord I was going to do something for you in 10 or 12 years, you know...after I finished high school, college and med school, made some money and then gave a little bit to poor people."
No. I dont care what it takes I WILL go into all nations preaching the gospel. Whether I get paid or not, God will provide.
