Choices.

Hello friends.

It is almost spring break. Im almost bursting with excitement.

Currently I am listening to Mr. Luke sing a little diddy while he plays the guitar.

I think this is in my top ten favorite of "favorite things to do" list.

Taking one step further along the path of adulthood and preparing for my non-college life, I took the Praxis 1 this past Friday. I want to be a history teacher and they made me take a math test. Granted, everyone has to take this same test first, well everyone who is not an education major. It was basically like taking the ACT which took me back to some of my most dreaded high school days ha. You know what I mean?

After stressing over not passing the math section, it was finally test time.

These messages of encouragement poured in, Mr. Luke was more encouraging than ever, and me.... I was paralyzed with worry.

When I heard Kay Arthur speak she spoke on the passages of scripture from John 14 15 and 16. We camped out on the phrase in John 14 "Let not your heart be troubled." A lot of times we, okay I, only use that phrase when something that I know that I can control happens. Or when I am giving advice to someone.

I want to say that and mean it whenever my heart is troubled and I'm worried about not just major things, but every single thing.

It goes hand in hand with continually walking in step with the spirit; with being in constant conversation with Jesus.

I want that. I let my own self get in the way 99% of the time.

But how good is He to us? Always ready to forgive. Always wanting to forgive and draw us closer.

After choosing to be in a bad and helpless mood all of Friday morning, it finally hit me that so what if I failed the math portion, I could take it again.

I am some what kind of an over-exaggerator. I make things worse than what they really are and I chose to let my heart be troubled.

So its the same old message. The same lesson that Jesus is teaching me.

Choose me.

Choose not to be paralyzed with worry and fear.

Let not your heart be troubled my child.

In other news, I have been crocheting up a storm in my limited free time.

I have been making crochet flowers to sell!

I don't have any photos yet because I just haven't taken any.

We plan to give the proceeds to Alison and her efforts with the Botswana Orphan Care Center.

So................... once I get some photos up you can buy some!

Personally I love mine. Its a mustardy goldy yellow. I wear it with everything.

Be on the lookout for them!

And if anyone has any suggestions for what we could call them, I would love to hear it!

drop a comment or on my facebook!

Also the best boyfriend in the whole wide world, Mr. Luke, is making me a new blog design!

I'm getting pumped for the grand preview coming up!

I hope that everyone's weekend has been pure magic like mine.
