Its Been Intensive!

I figured I had not posted a picture lately...here is me and some friends just before the quarter started

So I am currently taking an intensive course at school.  It is a history of missions in the Christian church.  I feel a bit scattered in the class.  I am not really sure what I think of an intensive course yet.  For this course we meet for 2 weeks Mon-Fri for 3 hrs a day.  It would fine if I was not juggling all the other things in life, but I am doing the juggling.

This quarter I have felt very lost and unsure of myself.  I have felt that maybe I am in the wrong spot even at times.  I just have to keep running back to the Lord to say HELP!  I keep getting a strong sense that I am where I am suppose to be, and the I just need to enjoy the Lord in this time.  I just often will feel isolated in friendships since I have not had time to build the strong relationships that I had back home or at Hebron.  I have never been a person that felt like I had that perfect spot, but this has felt like a much stronger feeling.  I just think that I need to sit back and enjoy.  The Lord has been so good to me to bring people around me to let me know that I am doing fine, and that I am loved by so many people here.

Outside of all of that life has been good.  The play that I was working on is over and I am so proud of my cast.  They did an awesome job, and I am so glad that I got to get back in to the world of theatre that I love so much.  The group that put the show on is getting ready for the next show.  In this show I will get to act in the shows. I am a little nervous for auditions...I have not been doing any acting work for awhile, and I have not auditioned for a show in like 3-4 yrs.  I have this slight fear that I have forgotten how to act, and that I will make an utter fool of myself.  The show that we are doing is Dead Man Walking.  This is based on the film with Sean Penn.  I am so excited by this show!!! It is all about capital punishment, and we are doing in partnership with a conference that is covering capital punishment.  Of course I would love to play the nun who is the lead role, but this show has some great roles in this show.  Outside of acting in the show, all I am doing with it is helping with props/costumes and advertising.

Work has been wonderful.  My manager has been so sweet to help me with my schedules and trying to make sure that I get to do all the things that I would like to do in my life.  I am just so happy that I have always been places in jobs that my managers are amazing.  I have started feeling like I really know what I am doing in my work, and not being that stupid new kid.  I am able to answer questions and have gotten the task often to organize some the the stuff we sell.  I cannot wait to see where the Lord will lead in this job.

So things that you can help me seek the Lord on are peace in my presence here, being organized in my time and things, and last but not least I am starting to pray about getting a car.  I have not had a car in 2 yrs, and have started realizing that I might be in need of one soon.  I know that the Lord has always provided what I need and I am just praying that he will show me if this is something that I need or just something that I want.
