Finally! An Update!

It's been forever since I posted, because, lets be honest - I'm awful at sticking to things I start. Also, the end of this semester has been pretty crazy. A lot has happened both good and bad, and I won't even try to recap everything. The most important things are:

1. Zebra Coalition's new house is open, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for me as a volunteer at Zebra
2. My church (Summit) is in a time of hurt and healing due to the senior pastor resigning due to an affair he's been having over the past year, and other allegations. 
3. The semester is OVER! And I'm pretty sure I've managed straight A's for the first time since I got to college
4. I highly recommend the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series by Stieg Larsson; I just finished the final book, and am now moving on to tackling Victor Hugo's Les Miserables
5. I've really missed painting
6. I realize more and more every day how blessed I am by my parents, and by my community at Wesley. God's put a lot of awesome people in my life. 
7. and finally, it's almost CHRISTMAS!

That barely skims the surface of everything that is going on in my head right now, but it will have to do! I am very excited to see what God has planned for me over the next month, and as the new year begins. I feel really positive, and think that 2013 is going to be a super awesome year. 

I'm hoping to update more regularly, but I won't make any promises... I will do my best, though!
