First blog ever

This week I have been thinking a lot about my emotional health. It has recently been brought to my attention that I care a lot about what other people think of me. I care what people think when I am at the gym, at work, in class, on facebook, pretty much every setting you can imagine. I have been afraid of starting a blog since I heard of their popularity. Would anyone ever read it? What would people say? Should I use an alter-ego or fake name which seems to be so popular these days?
After reading my friend Kaylyn's blog, I decided I should give this a go. Her blog is so beautiful, honest, vulnerable, and creative.
I need to be more creative in my life. God has blessed us with creativity, and he is so creative. On Friday night, I had a craft night and I modge podged an adorable frame cataloging my time in Madagascar, Africa. This blog is yet another step in what I hope to be the right direction.

Countdown to Arizona for Thanksgiving: 4 days.

What my 4 days look like:
Monday: wake up at 3am to go to Starbucks.
10am meet Rachel for interview #2 with CCV
Class from 2-10pm

Tuesday: wake up at 3am to go to Starbucks
study for my theo final that I am scared out of my mind for

Wednesday: Sleep in!
Starbucks holiday meeting - 12pm
study for my theo final that I am still scared out of my mind for
TAKE MY THEO FINAL :( :( :(

Thursday: wake up at 3am to go to Starbucks until 11:30
12pm - 6pm: class
7:30 - FLY TO ARIZONA!

So basically, I am going to rely on a lot of the Lord's strength during the next few days to carry me through.

I am going to CCV's 808 service tonight for my first experience. I am excited/nervous/expecting
