Joy that's unspeakable

So, this wk is going to be crazy... as much as I am looking forward to it all, I am dreading some of it too... I am going to be so incredibly busy. Praise God for craziness and the lessons we learn through it all! Here’s the line up for the wk:

Monday night class and prep for the rest of the wk

Tuesday I have 3 classes (8-12:15), Jr.Ka 12:15-2ish (lunch with Niki), another class 3:30-6, Relay 4 life meeting at 6, IV @7, RA meeting @ 9

Wednesday I will hopefully get up and work out(10-12), lunch and project with Julia (12-2), wal*mart at some point… if I don’t find a ride I will be walking down to Bilo…duty @7, All Hall 7-9, continue with duty till 7am

Thursday I have 3 classes (8-12:15), Jr.Ka 12:15-2ish, getting ready for the concert, be at MPR a little before 5 when bands start showing up, set-up from 5-6:30, people start coming @ 6:30, concert starts at 7 and goes till 11… probably go out afterward

Friday Relay for life from 10 am to 10 am sat

Saturday relay from 12am to 10am, home for super nappy time before the B&B dance, set-up 4-6, dance starts @ 7-11ish

Sunday Church (I get to greet!), Table talks, home to get some hw done, Girls group at 7-?

So that is my week in a nutshell, yes a nutshell… there are a lot of little monotonous things I did not put in there.
My prayer this week is to be filled with JOY and not let circumstances get the best of me.
1Thess. 16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Some people have been telling me I look sad lately. It is most likely just that I have a lot on my mind, including prep for this wk, Graduation and China. It is not because I am sad or feeling left out. I just have a lot that I am trying to schedule and work out in my head. I hope this side of me does not stop people from approaching me. It is a more serious side, but I am still me and I still love you all immensely.

I really do not mind sitting in a corner and being quiet, staying to myself. I quite enjoy my own company and I like watching people. I take mental videos that I can play back at later date. I will probably doing that more often because I know I am leaving and I want to remember these time. College has been the best four years of my life, thus far.

"JOY" by Newsboys

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it, And I like it
Your love for me is irresistible
I can't fight it, I can't fight it

If life is water, I was dry as Tuscon dir
tIf it's a gamble, I'd already lost my shirt
If it's a journey, I was dazed without a clue
I flipped a 'U' back to the first love I ever knew

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it, And I like it
Your love for me is irresistible
I can't fight it, I can't fight it
You carried the cross and took my shame
I believe it, I believe it
You shine Your light of amazing grace
I recieve it, I receive it

If life's a battle, the invasion is complete
If it's a rhythm, I have found the perfect beat
If it's a renaissance, I've got a new birthday
The world don't give it
And the world can't take it away


You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it, And I like it
Your love for me is irresistible
I can't fight it, I can't fight it
You carried the cross and took my shame
I believe it, I believe it
You shine Your light of amazing grace
I recieve it, I receive it

I'm bowed and broken, everything's new
All that I need, You're like water to seed
And how Your love, rights everything wrong
And in my weakness
You're ever stronger, You're pulling me back
Where I belong

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it, And I like it
Your love for me is irresistible
I can't fight it, I can't fight it
You carried the cross and took my shame
I believe it, I believe it
You shine Your light of amazing grace
I recieve it, I receive it

Don't worry, God never gives us more than we can handle, and it's a blessing that he chose you, because he knows that you are strong enough for the job!--> Remember to ask for help, you are never alone; that's why He gave us the Body! You Rock Krista! I love You, bunches!
