So, I guess Spring has officially started in the quiet little village of Clearwater, Florida. Haha...quiet little village yeah right! :-) But, it's rainy and kind of mild temperatures so that's good. I do wish it was a little warmer and sunnier b/c I've been itching to go to the beach. I pretty much lost my soccer tan booo! :-( I guess I'm never satisfied though, huh?
I am enjoying my last semester of classes. It is weird thinking that I will be back here yet again in August. I suppose that God just wanted me to be able to enjoy August-December weather in Florida just one more time!!! Thanks! Haha! I am only taking 12 credits, though, so I do get bored easily. But I am looooving my history classes. They are a nice change of pace from my education and exercise sport science classes. It's nice to not be completely bogged down all the time with stuff. I am now working in the admissions office at school. It's only 6 hours per week, but every little bit helps. Plus, I've found that I really do enjoy office work, like I always thought I would!
I'm getting really excited b/c I am running in a 15k (that's 10 miles) on Saturday, Feb. 9th. Today I am up to 7 miles. That's the most I've ever run in a single stretch. I had to run it on the treadmill (which I don't like), but I was so proud of myself! Running has become a big hobby of mine that I enjoy so much! Hopefully next Saturday I will be able to do 9 miles. If I can do 9 then, I think that 10 the next Saturday will be alright! I love that I now have another hobby that benefits me so much! I do not want to be fat or have heart problems or so many other problems that inactivity can lead to when I'm old (cancer, blood pressure, stress, etc) It is so much better to get active while you are young rather than wait until you're old and complain about how fat you are!
Today I had the thought (as I have before), what the heck am I doing with my life? What am I going to do after graduation in December? I'm not getting engaged or married or having kids or anything. What am I going to dooooo? Then I laughed to myself and thought, "Duh! God knows exactly what I'm going to do! Whose hands would be better to leave my life in than His!" And then I started reminding myself of all the things I have been thinking about for a while now...I've been thinking about maybe going to Hawaii to teach for anywhere between a semester and 2 years. I've been thinking about eventually wanting to do missions. I would love to use my sports and music talents in missions, but even if I didn't have that opporunity, I've just been really praying about getting involved in missions and I know it has to be easier to do that sort of stuff when you're single. I'm totally ready to graduate in LESS THAN A YEAR(!!!) and see where God takes me! It's so exciting!

You're seriously going to run for 15 miles???? Girl, you're crazy! Good for you:-) I tried running with my husband once and that worked for all of 2 seconds. Lol! More power to you!
After being in Tampa last Fall, I am so jealous of you. That is such a beautiful area down there. I can't even imagine living there.
Are you still playing the piano? Now that my girl keeps me so busy I rarely get to play.. except for at church. She's MORE than a fair trade off though.
Hang in there and be patient about finding God's direction for your life! He's calling you to something spectacular, I'm sure, and I am so excited to hear how He uses all of your many gifts and talents. Good luck!
