Signing Up.

It is now February and things have been going well for me since the last post. A quick recap of my last weekend consisted of going home for the night because of a doctors appointment, running errands, going to Benihana's to celebrate Molly Miller's birthday (which was fun and delicious!) and then a day devoted to homework. As for my goals, reading the bible 3x a weeks has started off to a good start but I have not been able to join 24 hour fitness yet. There is a special deal that you can buy at Costco for the gym membership but I was unaware that Costco does not take Visa credit. Hopefully I'll be able to sort that out this weekend. Also this weekend I signed up for Azusa Food Bank Ministry with APU which starts saturday. The ministry is at a local church which basically helps serve food to the community. This takes place 2 saturdays each month (working on my MAS credit). I already know the girl that is in-charge because I met her earlier in my swimming class today. I've also finished my Mexico Outreach applications and just need to get that turned in by the end of this week. The application asked a lot of deep questions that I don't normally think about on my own. Some of them were 3 great passions in my life, 2 strengths and how they have been reaffirmed in the last 6 months, 2 weaknesses and how God is working on them, and examples of how you have seen Jesus Christ love you, and how you have shown His love to someone else. Pretty deep stuff so it took me little bit of thought to answer those. I am starting to enjoy this semester more and more as new opportunities arise. I was worried it was going to be hard with 5 of my friends missing (I realized that is a lot to lose for 1 semester) but I am putting God in control & I am excited for what is next!
