Fearless. It's the name of one of our classes here at Asbury, the junior class, to be exact.
Fearless. It is not one of the top adjectives I would use to describe myself, in fact it would probably be top of the list of adjectives I would NOT use to describe myself.

I am full of fear. Of a hundred million things. Doubts, insecurities, uneasiness. For me, it all stems from fear.

This week, a missionary has been speaking at our school. He does God's work in a country where he could be imprisoned, tortured, or killed because of what he does. Today he spoke on fear. On being fearless.
This isn't the first message I've heard about this lately. Devotionals, songs, random verses popping into my head. God telling me to let go of my fear. Terrifying. Who am I without my fear? What will be required of me? What will I do if I live life without fear?


For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

Amanda is married. For a full 24 hours, even. That is crazy. Her husband is a great guy, but I miss her already. Wish she wasn't moving so far away... wishing I was rich, so I could go visit all the time. But we'll survive. Luckily, we have phones and email and facebook and a billion other ways to keep in contact. Thank you, modern technology!
I am back at Asbury. Have been for a few weeks, really. But haven't updated since then. School is good... I'm still not its number one fan, but it's not been too bad yet. I have a job, at the front desk of my dorm. I get paid to do homework and watch movies. Not a bad setup... ha.
I could write about a lot more, particularly elaborating on those two subjects, but I'm way too tired.

     So I officially have a job. Not just a on Saturdays job... I'm working every day this week. As a waitress. Which I sort of thought I would never do, but so far I like it. The tips are definitely a huge plus. And I've started tutoring a kid once a week with his reading skills and stuff, and so far it's been great. He's a good kid and does really well, and it gets me some more experience, too.
     Umm...MewihthoutYou's show was magnificent. I really loved Kay Kay, The Deer Hunter was good, and MWY's set was almost an hour and a half long. Fantastic. Plus, I just really love Chicago and public transportation, and Cozy's was delicious. Plus, Brian has got to be like... the easiest person to travel with.
     I'm nearly done with two more of my classes... just a few more lessons, and I'll be ready to head to B-town to take on those pesky exams.
     My quick trip to Kentucky was also wonderful. I love Kayla, Jess, and Jeri so much; we had a blast. Can't wait to be back around them and hangin' out daily and stuff. Should be suh-weet. I'm all signed up for classes and stuff too, and have a potential roommate. Hope I'm back on the bEast, and I really hope I get all my class junk worked out so I can graduate as soon as possible. I'm considering taking some of my remaining English classes online in the summers or something so that I have an easier workload or less schooling... so maybe all that will work out. That would be pretty cool.
     Less than two months until Manda gets married, so hopefully we'll have tons of quality time together. Next week is "family camp" so both of our families will be gone and I think I'll probably stay with her all week. Woot.
    

PS- RIP, MJ
