I can't think of a title.

I'm back in Joplin. I've been here for the last week taking a winter session class. I took creation and science and all in all it was a really good class. Winter session allows you to take one class for a whole week, eight hours a day. It's hard sitting in class for that long, it's boring at some points, but the best thing is that I"M COMPLETELY DONE WITH THAT CLASS....for the whole semester! Yay! It totally makes it worth it.
Last night we all went out to celebrate Melissa's birthday as well as celebrate the end of winter session. It was a fantastic night! After wondering around to every restaurant in town trying to find a place that was not packed, so that we could make it back to school in time. We finally ended up at McAlister's, Where we stared up at the menu like a child in a candy store.( Or at least I did. lol). After everyone was done eating we headed back to school to watch "Despicable Me". If you have not seen this movie, you should it's really good! I loved it! But now after writing all this down it doesn't seem like a very eventful night. I can't say anything epic happened, but it was just nice to have things back to normal. I've missed everyone. God has us all here for a reason. I believe that he has allowed all of us to meet for a reason, a purpose that we can't see right now. But one thing I can say for sure is that One day i'll look back on these day and say "Man, God is so very, very good" 
Anyways, A new semester will start on Tuesday. Can you believe it? I'm starting my 4th semester a Ozark. It has all gone by really fast. I am grateful for that as well as sad. I always look forward to the beginning of the new semester. It's filled with anticipation of what is to come, the joy of seeing friends again, meeting new people and growing up. This next semester I am putting in God's hands. He know's what I am hoping for, but he also knows whats best. So with that in mind I'm preparing for this next semester. Cleaning my room, buying new notebooks and color coordinating my planner, :) picking out classes and mentally preparing for late nights, tons of reading and writing like crazy. Don't you love school? :)   
So prepare for more blogs, crazy facebook status updates and late night rants. :) I'm praying for God to move in me this semester. I always look forward to new things. And school so far is the scariest, unknown I've had to deal with so far. Although there are plenty of unknowns to come..more probably than I can count. God seems to work that way. Allowing us to deepen our faith through blind leaps of faith. But then there are those times when...He makes things so clear as to what he wants us to do. He truly is Amazing, don't you think?
