It’s been awhile and a lot has changed…ok well not really :)
Ok so here I am trying to be responsible, gettin ahead on homework assignments so that when end of March and April comes around, I’m not tearing my hair out- which seems to be happening quite easily lately- as the India trip approaches. My mom stresses me out, I love the mom, she is one my best friends, but when she worries and stresses, i worry about her worrying too much. how does that make any sense? I should be the sane, calm one right (ok and in comparison, i am during these times but still) I’m doing alot better about not worrying and stressing so much about things that i cannot do anything about or haven’t happened yet. I need to find a quiet, peaceful place to go and just pray and read my bible during such times. Sometimes I just gotta get out of my apartment, I just need some quiet sometimes and the tension can be pretty thick at times- thats all i’m gonna say. Anyways, school is killing me, I’m really not into to much of anything else besides church and India. 
But i’m trying to have a good attitude about it anyways. My last semester (besides a couple classes in the summer) and I am graduating in May!!!! I am so excited. I was going to go on to apply to nursing schools but after praying and really seeking God, I feel like He wants me to go back to becoming a teacher. Ahhh what a ride. Last week was a crazy week for me, very emotional. I guess this is what they call becoming an adult and making decisions for myself, obviously seeking God’s will in it all. I’m naturally a people pleaser and i’m trying to learn to do things for myself rather than always worry about others, and it’s difficult to do I must say. But i’ve seen quite a bit of growth i think, it’s all about the molding and shaping He is doing each day. 
I’m just so focused on going to India, i can’t think of anything else practically! I’m the type of person who starts packing for a trip a week before I’m going to leave, yeah i’m weird. I like to know that i have all my ducks in a row and I’ve got all I need. Yeah we still have alittle under 2mo. until we leave and I’m freakin out about what clothes i’m going to wear, what I need to bring, etc. I’ve got to get goin on that. Ok well not really freaking out but I’m slighty stressin about it, thinkin in the back of my mind how i need to get started on these things before it’s too late and I’m down to the end. *Breathe, breathe* The Botswana team leaves in about 3 weeks!! I’m really excited for them, keep them in your prayers. They still have alot to prepare for in such a little amount of time. I’m gonna have to research on jetlag remedies for when I come back from India. Because we get back Sunday evening and then I’ve got class the next day that I CAN’T miss since there will only be 2 weeks left in the semester. It will be a little crazy but thats ok. It’ll be all worth it for this trip. I couldn’t think of anything better that I could be doing with my time. Jesus is so faithful and amazing to give us just what we need and He is showing me this more and more everyday. There are reasons for everything and He puts things and people in our lives for a purpose that is so far beyond anything that we can comprehend. I love how awesome He is in showing us His glory. God is good, all the time! Alright, back to homework.
Ok so check out the Sandals Worldwide India Team blog page for continuous updates before, during and after the trip. It’ll be good stuff. http://weybright.typepad.com/teamindia/ Keep us in your prayers, we need all the support throughout this whole next few months.
