I love this place!
I am officially back in the swing of classes and being back again on my own....Elizabeth and I have our very own apartment this year and we LOVE it! it has been fun to hang out, have space...our own bathrooms, washer, dryer and a stove and real kitchen!! i will post some new pics of the place!
Also, I have just realized how much i love this campus and this school...everything there is to it! The campus is everything i could want for a college campus..old/new historic and beautiful! My classes i think are going to be good...everything is geared toward my major except for geology but that is my LAST class that does not reflect my major! woohoo! I actually have education classes this semester and will get to work in some of the local schools which i am very excited about! I know this is the right place for me and i am so glad i will have the ability to live for here for just a couple more years!
This past weekend i went on a leadership retreat with the leadership group through the college ministry that i attend here. it was awesome, i was able to meet alot of new people and get to know and spend time with those i already knew. We have a new college minister and i LOVE him and his family. I think he is going to be absolutely awesome for calvary and the college ministry i honestly cannot wait to see what this year has to come...its going to be awesome!

A fresh start
This sunday I will be heading back to tuscaloosa for year! I am actually quite excited...slightly sad to be leaving home and the family but also very excited to be back on my own and in my new apartment with Elizabeth!! Yay! I am so excited...as soon as i get back and we get everything in order then i will definitely post some pics!!
But there is something cool about a new school year (definitely not the work) but its like a fresh start...new classes, new teachers, new places to live, new ways to get involved and i am really excited about the opportunities to come! =)
Also, college football is just a few weeks away and i am reallllllly pumped about that because i love saturdays in the fall - especially in the beaultiful Bryant-Denny!
I will try and be more on top of my blog as the school year starts but i am not making any promises!!

How He Loves Us
He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane,
I am a tree Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
Yeah, He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah,how He loves.
So we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
and my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way
That he loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves He loves us,
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves us
Woah, how He loves
This song is really just "rocking my world" right now, i guess you could say. I find it funny how you can hear songs multiple times and then one time the words and meaning just really "click" thats how i have felt this summer with this song.
especially what i highlighted the line that says "I dont have time to maintain these regrets when i think about the way, he loves us" this is just - man hard to even describe because i feel this summer i have begun to realize the vast Glory of God and how I dont have time to be upset about things in the past or things i have done wrong instead i should realize the incredible and grace from my Savior and begin living now proclaiming to everyone how much He does love us and how incredible His love is...
check the song out - its awesome

BigStuf Camp 09
This past week I have been in Panama City Beach with the youth group from first baptist as they attended BigStuf Camp. I had never been to BigStuf before, but i had been to a couple church camps so i kinda knew what to expect. This was fun and kinda different though in that we were staying at a hotel on the beach which was awesome. One night we had worship out on the beach and it was just impeccable and then every night we had a designated "quiet time" and i always chose to do mine on the beach watching the sunset and looking out over the ocean.
I was technically an "adult leader" for the group i was in charge on 5 middle school girls! I know, I know...but they were great! it was alot of fun and they were full of questions which was awesome, i really think God touched their lives in individual ways and it was awesome to see!
But even though i was not a "student" it was an awesome event and I really felt God speak to me in ways I had not felt before. The last night we were there (wednesday night) - words can honestly not describe. We went into worship and started off the night with worship songs that were old and hymns and then all the way to the present which was great. then the speaker did an awesome job, they had a time of decision and there were tons of decisions made in the group of 1500...and we even had one boy in our group give his life to Christ which was just such an awesome moment! After that, the band came back out and played a couple more songs but the building was just on fire - God was impacting lives in so many ways that the people leading worship actually felt lead to have another time of decision and even more people raised their hands - Praise the Lord! it was just AWESOME! well the boy in our group was so sure of his decision and everything that he decided he didnt want to waste anytime and he wanted to get baptized right then - so after the like 2 hours of worship in song because it was just pumpin and no one wanted to stop - our who group went down to the water at like 11:00 and watched our fellow friend make the most important decision of his life!
I honestly am still processing everything that happened because it was truly indescribable for the first time it seemed as though i was at a complete loss for words. I pray that the feelings and thoughts never leave...there were some awesome moments i got on video and picture..i will upload them in a new post cause this one is getting lengthy!!
love you all and God loves you more!

Slacker.
Well, I guess you can call me a slacker because i have not been doing very well on blogging. I admit i have been quite consumed with Twitter it seems. But in the mean time I have been working, still doing my online class, and getting things ready to move to tuscaloosa in about oh 17days! I am really excited, i will actually only be going back for a couple days to move furniture and what not into my apartment and then will be going back around the 16th for class and the beginning of school!
This past weekend, i bought pots-pans, a vacuum, and even kind of figured out what bedroom furniture i will be using which is something that i really needed to do....there is still packing and stuff to do in order to be ready t0 move back up there but im trying to get a head start!
I am currently "working" on some online work...but this weekend i will be heading to Panama City Beach to help CHAPERONE - yes chaperone, like im old enough to be in charge of the kids going to camp - the youth from first baptist as they go to Bigstuf camp! should be alot of fun!
