I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart!

1. It snowed yesterday.  If the snow had been gracious and stuck to the ground, we would have been sitting on a blizzard.  Too bad it didn't stick to anything.


2. Opened my email yesterday and Fuge track times were sitting in my inbox!  HURRAH!  One step closer to this summer!  I can't believe in two and a half months it's going to be here!  This is going to rock my world. Literally.  It's something that I've been in prayer about for a long time and it is going to be here before I know it!


3. So the Bachelor ended Monday.  Seriously, Jake.  I hate to be one of those girls who whine about a ridiculous television show but... how could you break Tensley's heart?  She was absolutely precious.


4. Spring Break is so soon.  A week and a half!  It's going to be busy though due to vocal stuff.  090 Recital and Masterclass, two possibly three lessons, and lots of practicing are going to happen between now and NATS next Friday.


5. I went home this past weekend and got to see all of my grandparents!  Grandmommy is still in rehab from her knee replacement but is doing very well!  Grandmother and Granddaddy were their usual precious selves. Grandparents are amazing.  They are so special!


6. The maintenance men have been outside mine and Brittany's room since 8:30 yesterday morning. I'm not sure what they are doing.  Hopefully the building doesn't blow up or something.  Otherwise... we are goners.


7. The Pink Ladies are undefeated.  I am not really sure how.  But we are.  We have beast shirts too.


8. I am addicted to Facebook and I absolutely hate that.  I wish I were not.


9.  Move your car before Thursday.  I'm just saying.  I've heard bad things could happen if you don't.  Don't say you were not warned.  There are notifications everywhere.  Even on the printers in the computer labs......


10. "My joy is not determined by what happens to me but what Christ is doing in me and through me." This quote has proven itself true so many times in my life but once again God has shouted and gotten my attention.  My life is not defined by situations or circumstances.  They are a part of shaping and molding me into the person I am becoming but in no way shape or form am I defined by them.  My identity lies in Christ.  I am his child, his daughter.  How he is glorified in these difficult situations is what matters.  Where does my future lie?  I do not know exactly.  What I do know is that wherever I am, in whatever season of my life, that Christ is going to be moving and he is going to be working and that is what is exciting.  He might be breaking me at times, but there is nothing too broken to be restored and to become beautiful.  I am absolutely nothing on my own.  "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26 but through Christ I have strength, joy, and I am content. "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12-13.  


11. Yahoo has the Passion 2010 album online for early viewing before it's release next week. That merits excitement.  


12. Tonight in the caf, Mikey taught Amanda, Jacinta, Katie Hyatt, JBates, and myself how to make Cootie Catchers out of napkins.  Let me just tell you... it was arts and crafts time in the caf.  Quite the adventure. 


13. I love my friends.  Like honestly.  These girls on my hallway are absolutely incredible.  They are hilarious too.  That makes things even better. 


14. Brooklyn loves I Love Lucy.  I must frequent her room more often to watch episodes with her. 


15. It's getting late. I'm getting tired.  I'm going to sleep.
