Fall 2009 Schedule!!!

-
Can you believe it? On December 18th, 2009 I'll be a college graduate with a B. A. in English!!! This afternoon, I had the wonderful privilege of enrolling in classes for the last time ; ) It certainly has been a challenging, growing and productive 4 years for me at UCO. Just being at college, especially a secular one, has challenged me in my faith in numerous ways...and I thank my Father in heaven for using college as a place to teach and train me of how to be a follower of Jesus Christ my Lord. Many times I didn't share Christ when I should have and the Lord has taught me through those lessons that I need to seize every opportunity to talk about Jesus! He is the HOPE that this world is looking for, not political leaders or world organizations...it's Jesus, God's own Son who came to save sinners from the death that they deserved by dying in their place. God gave me so many opportunites to share about Him in my homework responses, topics I picked to write papers on, 20 minutes speech presentations, classmate interaction, Tuesday Bible Studies or even talking with professors in their office. And I say all of this because HE deserves every bit of the glory! Wonderful, isn't it? To God be the glory great things HE has done! Of course, my battlefield at college is not done with...there are still 5 more months of fighting for the faith and I ask for your prayers that I would finish strong and continue steadfastly - "looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith." Hebrews 12:2a
Here is my school schedule for fall 2009 and some other courses I am taking in May to complete my B.A. faster. It'll be an interesting semester with some hard classes, but thankfully not as hard as this current semester has been. I would never recommend anyone to take 21 hours in one semester - I can't count how many all-nighters I have pulled to get projects finished!
May class:
Instructional Technology for Teachers on May 11th - 13th, 18th, 9a.m. to 4p.m.
Correspondence course:
Shakespeare - this one is set at my own pace, which is quite nice
Fall 2009:
English Cornerstone - online course
Chaucer - Tuesday/Thursday 3:30-4:45
Technical Writing - online
English Capstone - Monday/Wedesday 2:00 - 3:15
Pilates - Tuesday/Thursday 10:00-10:50 - I just needed ONE measly credit, so this is the course I get to take...hope it isn't too difficult ; )
Will be sure to keep everyone posted about this semester and I would appreciate all of your prayers regarding what the Lord would have me to do once I graduate. There are few ideas I'm praying about for next spring but will let you all know the details once the Lord gives me clearer direction. It's encouraging that the Lord gives us only what we can handle ... and He doesn't ask us to try and understand or know every detail about the future, but rather take every day as it comes and trust the Lord for what we do not know.
My Lord is teaching me the truth of Psalm 37 when it says:
"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass...
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him...
the LORD knoweth the days of the upright; and their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied...
the steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in His way. Though he fall he shall not be utterly cast down, for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand...
the law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide...
Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land...
but the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD, He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them and deliver them: He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him."

Learning About Him

Where do I begin to describe all that the LORD has been teaching my little heart about Himself? He is such a patient Shepherd and the past two weeks in Europe have given me an even deeper glimpse of how much I need Him and His guidance in every area of my life : ) That is a little tid-bit as to what I am Learning About Him - but perhaps you all would like to see a few pics of the adventures the LORD has put me on in order to bring me to a deeper realization of my need for Him and His help. Yes, I went all the way to Europe! For 2 weeks (and I still have one week left in Europe) I have been traveling all over. From little Zettlitz to the huge Berlin and then driving through the Alps to seeing beautiful Venezia (Venice), Italy. All of this was something the LORD has been bringing about for some time and I have had the priviledge of spending these journeys with a dear friend of mine, Tim Haugrud. Yep...a boy : ) It would take too long to tell the whole story, but all I can say is that the...

There is no way I could resist the tempation to put this little "story" on here that happened to me today - I have never laughed so hard nor been so stunned by a 2-year-olds perception. Here it goes: I was at Target in between class period just browsing around...being really bored because I didn't need to buy anything and I wasn't looking for anything. But I found a cute and modest dress on the 75% rack for only 4 dollars! It was black and had red flowers printed abstractly on it. I picked it up and was rummaging around to see if there were any more great dress deals (because I LOVE a bargain!). Suddenly, this little boy with blond hair and blue eyes comes up to me...he looks up at me, scrunches his little face and says with utmost curiosity, "Why are you buying a spiderman suit?" My mouth dropped open. What? I had picked up a spiderman suit? Then I looked at the items hanging on my right arm. Oh yes - that 4 dollar dress was the culprit. So I looked at the ...

People Need The Lord

Last weekend was quite the adventure...my stomach was constantly filled with many butterflies flying around in my stomach. Hahaha - but as Mr. Kelderman says "If you train them to fly all in the right directions...then it won't be so bad!" : )- Perhaps you are wondering as to why I was overtaken by nervousness last weekend. Well...Anne-Marie G., Emma, Marie, Kimberly H. and myself were all asked to come speak at a Ladies Missionary Day at the Northside Bible Chapel. The idea of me speaking made me quite nervous : / It was hosted by a group of young girls called the M&M Club; which stood for Mission & Ministry...isn't that wonderful? These girls get together (their fearless leaders are Emily Peters and Jenny Keane) every month with a desire to grow closer to the Lord, help out their chapels and encourage other believers across the world. They put together a Saturday that was set aside for Missions...we all came to speak and share what the Lord had done in our l...
