Pity party for one please

College is killing me right now, and there's more to come. But, honestly I'm just being a big baby. I can not wait until these assignments are all done and I can be free for the summer. I'd rather do anything than all the work thats screaming my name. Well, I know I got to do it... so I'm gonna give it my best effort, but that doesn't mean I won't throw a pity party of one while doing it. oh, anna, you really should grow up soon. So, tonight my best girlfriends, some awesome people from church, and me went out for wings :) It was such a good time, and the place had the best wings with like 30 different flavors to try. Crazy! And, on Sunday instead of doing sunday school and church, we're going hiking to this mountain that overlooks all of Snyder County. We're gonna pray and worship God from the mountain top :) So I'm super stoked about that! Let's see if Morgan and I make it up alive. Also, I'm still wrapping my mind around the fact that I'll be in Indiana this summer. It's going to be so different, I'm going to be stretched so much past my comfort zone, I'm sure I'll be a mess at some point. Well, I'm off to get cracking on some work and do some RA work.

I will always stand in awe of You

Today worship at church was amazing! Most definitely just what I needed, and it's the weirdest feeling because I was so not in the sanctuary. I was with my Lord and King in spirit singing directly to Him on His throne. It was such a great moment, one very close to me heart and the lyrics captured my deepest feelings. Here are the lyrics to the song by Phillips, Craig, and Dean: 

You are God in heaven

And here am I on earth 

So I'll let my words be few

Jesus, I am so in love with you

And I'll stand in awe of You, Jesus 

Yes, I'll stand in awe of You

And I'll let my words be few

Jesus, I am so in love with you

The simplest of all love sings

I want to bring to You

So I'll let my words be few

Jesus, I am so in love with You

I have a lot on my mind right now, but I can't even being to think about spending my time blogging all of it and not doing HOMEWORK! Hopefully I survive this week and next week.

Good Morning

Morgan woke me up today with the fantastic idea of going to Dunkin Donuts. Amazing. It set the tone of the day as we share how faithful the Lord has been to each of our families. Thank you Lord for being the amazing God You are. I ask that You continue to see favor in our families and direct each person's path according to Your good and perfect will.


I love You Lord!

Just about sums up the current mood:

I love music and this song right now!

"Life Is Okay" by Michael Johns and Brooke White 

Jumble o' Stuff

So, my internet has not been working in my dorm room lately. Like not at all, I can't even check my e-mail and facebook when I wake up in the morning. Ughhh. But, I'm surviving....barley.

What else is new?

• Well, it's the end of the school year, which bring lots of assignments and stress to everybody, so that kinddia stinks. I have about 15 more things to do and hand or take a test before I'm done. I'm staying on campus too because RA's have to, so that's different.

• Okay so, my best friends are leaving me :( All my senior TKE and some none TKE friends (Zig, Tev, Kyle, Ken, Kurt, Mike Ryan, Aric, Adam, Boyfriend Ben, and +) are graduating. I'm so entirely upset about this, I am going to be water-works when I actually do say goodbye to them. So basically I've been spending a lot of time up at their house (218 18th Street <3).>

• Hum, anxiety about this summer, I'm so entirely excited and ready for this awesome experience but I'm also nervous. So I've been praying really hard about that.

• I find out my student teaching placement on the 26th (Kyle's 22nd B-day). I'm beyond nervous about this because it's so completely out of my hands. All I did was fill out a preference form of what grades I wanted to teach which went, Kindergarden, 3rd grade, and 2nd grade. I've been praying really really hard about this. But I know my God is faithful to me, so I have the comfort that He will work things out perfectly.

• I'm in a really good place with Church. I love the current church I'm attending and really will miss it and the people when I go out to Indiana this summer. I attend, The Selinsgrove Church of the Nazarene. The relationship's I've made there have truly been a blessing. Mostly through "The Gap" or "Not So Sunday School" I can't imagine my walk with Christ without the continual support and encouragement I get from these groups and individuals affiliated with these groups. Here's a picture of me and baby Isaiah Ryder:

Well, that's all I got right now, I'm off to my least favorite classes ever, Social Psych and Childhood Development Psych! Ughhh!

A Personal Vehicle Time Line

Cars in the life of Anna

2006: Honda Accord 1999 - White

Not actual pic of my car, but this is what it looked like.

Me in my car at the ripe age of 17!

Me driving to Philly.

Me driving my car & Lindsay C. as passenger.

I was 17 years old and a junior in high school when I got my first car! Her name was hondie the Honda, and I loved her. So, I got my license on January 19, 2006 (also the same day as Sami B. and Katie C.) this could possible be on of the best days of my life. FREEDOM!!! I lremember driving out of my drive way by my self for the first time and being giddy as ever. Unfortunately I crashed it on January 5, 2007. RIP.

2007: Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997 - White

Not my actual car, but mine was identical to this one.

yeah, about that?!?!? LONG STORY! lol.

Me driving and Des as passenger, pretty much partners in crime (literally)

I never liked this car, but it got me from A to B and her name was "The Boat." It was previously owned by Shaver's aunt and my dad bought it from her because I needed a car to get me around and it was available. We should of looked harder for a different car, but oh well. Where do I begin with the memories I have of this car. LOL. My older brother Mike actually drove it during his Junior year and my Freshman year of college. I was certain he would kill it, but he mostly put Keg's in the back seat! This car was known as a joke and some problems it cause me and memories I have from "The Boat" are the radio sucking, the put put putting noise it would make on hills/mountains/ any incline, the horrible wind-conditioning, broken windshield whippers (stories include being rescued by Uncle Tim after being stranded on my way back from King's and being rescued by Morgan in Millersburg on the trip home after sopho year of college). Some more are the right mirror being destroyed in Princeton on St. Patrick's Day '07 and the never-ending mystery replacement from Taylor Fence, and the most famous of all, the fire hydrant dent (insert a roll of the eyes).

2010: Hyundai Santa Fe 2005 - Silver

This is my NEW car! Actual photo!

ZND 40Z

So, I'm in love...with my SUV. I love driving her, and her name still has yet to be determined. My mom found it and purchased it for me at the end of March but It wasn't until April 5th that she came out to me in PA courtesy of Aunt Rheta :) She came along with a free Rascal Flatts CD which was awesome, cause I love that band! So, so far that's all I've been listening too! There aren't too many memories with her yet, but some far my favorite has been my hour and a half drive around the back country roads of Selinsgrove. I went so far I actually think I left Snyder County. I stumbled across some pretty awesome stuff down Little Mexico Road off Route 204. I still need to get a Susquehanna sticker for my back window, but I'm sure that will happen soon. Well that's it for the car's of Anna W, can't wait to see what come next!

Cabin

So this past weekend I went on the 2nd annual girlfriend get-a-way trip with my best college friends. Morgan, Kim, Courtney, Allison, and Lynne (and Kayla, Morgans twin made an appearance too). It amazing to get away from college stress for a while and just wear sweats and read a good book. Some fun memories include unforgivable amounts of food, dancing, singing, The Lion King, The Blind Side, Nights in Rodanthe, kings, and a late night giggle cuddle fest. All of us we're really in a photo mood so not many were taken, but where's the ones that were:

Mixed Feelings

I'm kinddia mad at some things right now that are out of my hands. I'm harboring them. I'm trying to let go and give them to God but I'm having a hard time doing that. So I am just going to steam. Maybe, I'll will take a long hot shower right now. Well no matter how I'm feeling I can always remember and hold onto the goodness of the Lord. He is my source of rejuvenation and my safe harbor.

I mean, I'm just saying....

I do believe that their is a man out their for me who loves Jesus and Notre Dame. Is that too much to ask for?

Watch out Indiana, this Jersey Girl is coming your way! I'm so excited to spend my summer drawing closer to the Lord and doing his work in Nappanee, IN @ The Nappanee Missionary Church with the SOAR Program!

Blogging = Epic Fail

APRIL 2010

um, it's been 8 months since I've posed to my blog! Such a long time, I don't even know where to start when thinking about all the stuff that has happened since then! I'm not going to even try, I'm just gonna say that I truly have had the best junior year of college ever imaginable. Life is smooth sailing with not much to complain about. Yes, there were speed bumps during those past 8 months but nothing really major. My walk with the Lord is still the most important aspect of my life and I'm continuing to grow in Him daily. Actually Easter is just 2 days away and I'm going to spend it with Morgan and her family, I'm pretty excited, Millersburg, watch out!

So I want to commit to blogging the month of April because so much stuff happens in this month! End of the year school stuff X 100,000,000,000,000 and just plain fun! I'm looking forward to what's to come!

So here's a song that I've been in love with today:
