IDK

Ok so I really have put off doing this for reason that are unknown to me. i feel like not alot has happened but to be perfectly honest quite a bit has happened. this morning i got an e-mail from a friend that really has had me distracted for the rest of the day. which the e-mail i don't think was a good thing. i really don't agree with what is going on but there is nothing i can do about it...so i guess to each his own. which really isn't a good thing to say because if his own is not good then... yeah anyway. i am really excited about leaving wi for the summer but i don't think that is going to solve all my "problems" not that i have really big problems here but like i have been having a hard time emotionally i guess and i am hoping that when i leave i will be leaving all my emotional problems here but i know in my heart that it won't happen that way. anyway i have to go get ready for work...later

ARGH!!!!!

Ok so like right now i am really kinda mad at myself,
1. Because i can't concentrate on some homework that i really need to get done ASAP
2. Because i ...well i can't really say #2 but...yeah there is a #2
3. Because i have no motivation for anything right now except for the unproductive stuff

So that is why...and i guess that i am not feeling that great tonight. I really hope that i am not getting sick cuz that would stink...especially if it is what everyone else has been getting lately cuz then i would probably end up joining the party at the student health center (aka the prison) anywho...not much else going on. Oh i am going to Brie's house at the end of the month. that should be lots of fun.

Oh and i suppose that i should mention something about today being Valentine's Day...
well i didn't do much of anything special for that today. not that there was anything to do.

I guess this is going to be a short one cuz nothing else is really going on. I just got distracted from my comp 2 homework and thought that i would blog....:)

I hear ya...

I know I haven't really said anything really personal lately...mostly just songs and verses. but they mean a lot to me and really touched my heart so i thought that you would enjoy them as well. I am still struggling with some things...things that I can't really talk about. at least not yet:) any way classes have been going ok. my wrist hurts me more and more but nuttin i can do about it so...just grin and bear it i guess. as my dad says "No pain, no brain" lol anyway. So artist series is tomorrow and i am not really looking forward to it..i will be oh so glad when it is over. Ok so for those of you who don't know artist series is when a fine arts musical group comes to college and everyone gets all dressed up and the guys ask the girls to go with them and it is like a dating experience thing. except it is not as exciting for those of us girls that don't have a date:( like me. but Brie said she would go with me and we will match too! (although that wasn't on purpose and we were just teasing) but i am going with Brie and Jess. so...anyway, everyone gets all dressed up in formals and everything for about two hours and then it is all over and every one goes to the late night skate. But i will probably just hang out in the dorm with Brie and Jess cuz they don't really want to go to the late night skate. Which i don't mind cuz i wasn't planning on going either. This Valentine's Day is going to be unlike any that I have ever had before...I think it maybe cuz i am not at home. First one at college. well maybe next year will be better. cuz i am sure it will be different..course i will be 20 then not that age makes a difference but it won't be the first one away from home it will be the second:) Well good news is i got my comp 2 paper done i just have to print it and put it in an envelope. not that its very interesting or anything. I must say that i miss living at Grandma's and working at the clinic...it was hard when i was but now that i am away from it all i really miss it. I am so excited about spring break...cuz then i get a break from college life:) it isn't that bad but i like getting a break from it. I hope that we get a Presidential Holiday soon cuz i could really use it...we should be having spirit week soon too...oh thrills. not that i don't like having casual dress by participating but the costumes usually end up being to warm and VERY bulky. well i guess that is all for now hope you enjoy it...although i realize that i really do complain alot...praying that God will help me with that. He really has been teaching me alot since i came to college but i am a work in progress as is everyone else so...

Proverbs 4

Pro 4:1-27
(1) Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father,
and attend to know understanding.
(2) For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
(3) For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
(4) He taught me also, and said unto me,
Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
(5) Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not;
neither decline from the words of my mouth.
(6) Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
(7) Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:
and with all thy getting get understanding.
(8) Exalt her, and she shall promote thee:
she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
(9) She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace:
a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
(10) Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings;
and the years of thy life shall be many.
(11) I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
(12) When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened;
and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
(13) Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
(14) Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
(15) Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
(16) For they sleep not, except they have done mischief;
and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
(17) For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
(18) But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
(19) The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
(20) My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
(21) Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
(22) For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
(23) Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
(24) Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
(25) Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
(26) Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
(27) Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

Ok so I got Bored…

Ok so I got bored this afternoon. I was also happy to find out that my comp 2 paper doesn't have to be posted until Saturday at midnight which technically is Sunday morning but I decided not to argue. Any who, I have been struggling with a lot lately and much of it is stuff that I can't really talk about but some I can so I will. I still cannot understand what possessed me to take all these computer classes. Its is ridiculous. But I was only in my word class for all of twenty minutes today. The assignment I was going to work on isn't due till the 19^th so I was very happy about that. I have a MIS quiz to do this weekend sometime. . .

 

Ok so last weekend Jess, Brie, and I got bored and we decided to do make-up stuff. After a little while ally came and she helped us do make-up hair and then we took a bunch of pictures. I had over a hundred on my camera alone plus we took some on Jess's camera…

So that is what we did. I love Brie's face in this one. She is so funny and cute. So we were up doing that until like one in the morning. It was tons of fun. Any way that is one the things we like to do on the weekends.

wow its been a while

yeah i know its been a while but hey i have been really busy...well i guess not that busy but oh well you really don't need to hear me argue with myself. so my friend Jess has been in the health center with a flu type thing so it has been just me and brie. which is ok you know but i miss Jess. no offense brie i love you dearly, love, but you know that the group isn't the same with out Jess to "referee" us. i was very disappointed the other day when brie and i wanted to go to a coffee shop in town to study and hang out for a while, alas when we got there we found out that it was closed. not just closed for the night it was gone, no more. but i guess it was ok we went to culvers and had ice cream and got $1 butter burgers...yummy:) any way so we have this collaboration project in MIS that is the funnest group project thing that i have ever done. the teacher divided the class into like nine or ten groups so there is only four or five in each group. gave us a real life senerio i guess is what you would call it. we have to come up with a solution but the only time we could talk to our group face to face was that day in class. all other communication has to be though e-mail, text, or phone calls. and we had a week to do it. it was really hard because Jess is in my class and in my group and i see her all the time but i cant talk to her about the project:(

classes are going well though i think. I have no idea what posessed me to take so many computer classes though. i spend much of my free time in the computer lab working on typing homework,which kills my wrist. but que sera, sera. live and learn they say...i am working on that concept...lol

so if you all could pray for my cousin she is having some problems that i am not going to talk about right now cuz that will make me cry...she is gone astray so to speak and needs prayer more than anything else right now.

Oh on a lighter note...a big prayer request was answered. my parents are working on a church building in NYC and they needed to get the boilers inspected to get heat in the building. they have been waiting a long time to get an inspection scheduled and they finally did. it is for tomorrow at 9a.m. and then after that they need to get the certificate of occupancy so that the church can start meeting in there.

well i guess that is about all for right now. i am getting more and more excited about spring break...i know but i don't really care for school that much
i love to learn but i don't like book learning that much, i think i am more of a hands on person. which is why i like my computer classes but don't like all the homework that goes with it. :)

love you all, praying for you too!!!

songs that really speak to your heart

So I don't have a lot to say today. I just have two really great songs that have really helped and encouraged me so I hope they will be a blessing to you.

Bow the Knee

verse 1:

There are moments on our journey following the Lord

Where God illumines ev’ry step we take.

There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us,

As we try to understand each move He makes.

When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

Chorus:

Bow the knee; Trust the heart of your

Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.

Bow the knee;

Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.

And when you don’t understand the purpose of His plan,

In the presence of the King, bow the knee.

verse 2:

There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall,

The cold and lonely winds won’t cease to blow.

And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel;

We are tempted to believe God does not know.

When the storms arise, don’t forget we live by faith and not by sight.

Made To Worship

verse 1:

Before the day

Before the light

Before the world revolved around the sun

God on high

Stepped down into time

And wrote the story of His love for everyone

He has filled our hearts with wonder

So that we always remember

Chorus:

You and I were made to worship

You and I are called to love

You and I are forgiven and free

When you and I embrace surrender

When you and I choose to believe

Then you and I will see who we were meant to be

verse 2:

All we are

And all we have

Is all a gift from God that we receive

Brought to life

We open up our eyes

To see the majesty and glory of the King

He has filled our hearts with wonder

So that we always remember

Even the rocks cry out

Even the heavens shout

At the sound of His Holy name

So let every voice sing out

Let every knee bow down

He is worthy of all our praise

A Verse to Ponder

Today's verse is ~Philippians 4:13~

I can do all things

through Christ

which strengtheneth me.

~Philippians 4:13~

Quote of the Day

Here is the NUMB3RS quote for today:

Amita Ramanujan: Charlie, where did you learn all this stuff about assassination?
Charlie Eppes: If I told you that I'd have to kill you.
Amita Ramanujan: Okay, seriously.
Charlie Eppes: Seriously.

Ok so today was really a pretty good day. Classes went well I guess. I only had three classes today, so it wasn't incredibly bad. I really like my schedule because I am done with classes by 12:15p.m. every day. Some days I am done a little earlier but for the most part that is it. I took a nap today after class, and I slept for an hour and a half. You might say that's good but I woke-up at 2:30p.m. and that is when I am suppose to start work. Thank goodness I did not have far to go. I clean the first floor of my dorm and live on the second floor for those of you who don't know.

This is one of my favorite pictures. I took it last fall when my parents and I went to IA to visit friends and to get my sister from college. My friends live on a farm and it is always great fun to go and visit. When I go there I think of it as a vacation but I usually don't get caught up on extra sleep or anything. The family has five boys and they always want to play. So when I am there we ride four wheelers and do chores and all kinds of stuff that I never did before going there. I don't always come back rested but I have plenty of memories to keep me till the next time I go.

A Verse to Ponder

Today's verse comes from Psalms 55, it is verse 22 which says:

Cast thy burden upon

the LORD, and he shall

sustain thee: he shall

never suffer the righteous

to be moved.

Quote of the Day

Today's quote comes from the tv show NUMB3RS:

Edgerton:(Reguarding one of Charlie's equations) "Anyone else following this?"

Colby: "Just nod your head and wait for the punch line."

If you don't watch numbers you most likely won't understand it. For those of you who watch can lean back in your chair and laugh...but not to loud or those around you will think you have really lost it. Just remember that we all use numb3rs every day.

January 22, 2009

Ok, so I have never done this before so please bare with me. So, my name is Katie and I am going to try to record what I do here. Anyway, as a college student I can get pretty busy but so far this semester it has not gotten to bad. I am excited about visiting some friends over spring break which is kinda far off yet. But hey! who says you can't get excited about such things. So here at college it has taken me about two weeks out of last semester to find a fun and good "circle"of friends. We have so much fun together. and this semester is even better 'cuz our schedules are so that we can spend some more time together. No guys yet though. But I am praying that God will bring the right one along at the right time. I am trusting in Him to know what is best for me.
