Home Sweet Home

i am home for labor day weekend! it feels SO good. my afternoon class was cancelled today, so after my morning class i packed up my car and zoomed home! it felt a little strange to be driving out of town...but it was so much fun to blast my music and just drive.

as i pulled onto my street i saw my dad and my dog waiting outside for me. :) it was a long ride and just really good to see them. my mom had to work late tonight, so me and her are going for a late dinner when she gets home and to run a few quick errands! after i got home dad and i ran to the grocery store cuz let's face it -- without me around the house is not stocked with food! it's just plain sad. so we got some food, grabbed some lunch, and then i came home and took the longest nap ever with my pup. it felt really good. you don't realize how much school takes out of you till you lay down for a few hours!!

so, as i mentioned in my previous post - have any of you lovelys heard of 'Zumba' ? umm, well, let me tell you - if anywhere around you offers a zumba class, i strongly suggest... wait, let me change that, i demand that you take it! seriously you WON'T regret it. it's basically salsa mixed with hip hop mixed with aerobics. take it from someone who does NOT like working out.. zumba is the best work out class ever. seeing as i have never taken a work out class... i'm not the greatest judge on that. but still. trust me. granted i LOOOVE to dance, but i think you would still like this class even if dance wasn't your thing. it's my new all-time fave thing to do! my goal for you: find zumba somewhere near youuuuuu!!! hurry!

okay, onto other things... i had my first Bible study last night- it went so well!! my girls are just incredible. we didn't really dive into too much last night, it was more of a "get to know each other" night. i figured it would probably only last a half hour since it was the first night - but it lasted an hour and 40 minutes!! i was SO excited. we did some ice breakers, i made puppy chow and brought them that, we talked forever about all sorts of things. it was just great. i hope it stays this good once we start getting into the actual study. i can't wait to see where God takes us. i feel really good about it. content. in prayer i've been telling God that i am searching for peace in all aspects of my life. i'm hoping that i am starting to find it. :)

however, as i'm praying for peace, i (think) i am slowly having God's will for me revealed to me lately. it is something that is really challenging for me. especially when His will does not match my will. i know of course His will beats mine, hands down. but how do we make this easier? i tend to struggle with this a lot and could sure use some insight. :)

speaking of God. i learned something really cool yesterday. i'll blog about it when i get back to school because that's where i wrote it down at. :) or i'll do some research later and try to find it again.

Happy *almost* friday everyone!!!
