Desire

I want that PA interview so much right now!!! And the Lord knows that, because I've told him that over and over. As the days draw nearer I become more and more me-focused: googling forums to see if anyone else is receiving notifications yet, already kindling sadness and frustration in my heart because "I'm sure I didn't get in." What am I doing??!?!
I don't deserve this gift of getting into PA school.
The Lord knows all that I am thinking and feeling.
He is a whole lot bigger than me or even the MUSC admissions committee.
He delights in my happiness.
He has called me thus far and if He shuts the door now He has a reason and He will provide.

I'm saying over and over, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Rejoice in the Lord always. Rejoice in the Lord always. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again. . .

Oh Lord hold me tightly now. I so fear failure. I so fear being jobless and futureless. I so fear rejection. I so fear waiting. I so fear being out of control of situations. But right now I am facing those fears big time. Be my strength, my comfort, my hope, my value, and my delight!! For you are all that is good, you are all that is joy, you are all that is peace and you are all that is goodness.
Father, it seems that you have lead me down this path and opened doors to get to this point. I do desperately want to get into PA school at MUSC this year but I do lay this down at your feet. Do your will for my life, Father.

New kicks

I got new running shoes today and that makes me superbly and incredibly happy!!! I cannot wait to break them in with many, many miles of pavement-pounding, peace-provoking steps!!!!

Nike Women's Lunarglide 3--they are awesome!

Also I got a SECOND set of new kicks today--these are slightly more fancy!!

AND they are going to look awesome with my tan trousers, navy blazer, and a button down--perfect for interviews!!!! 

So it's been a shoe-filled day here in Cola-town and I hope that you have all had an awesome day!!!

That is all.

A post about something other than the wedding. . .

The wedding is 4 days away.  So, what else is going on in my life??

 First, a little thing I like to call Senior-itis.

Also, the PA application is done and Saturday marked the final day for the early admission applications so hopefully I will have news of an interview within the month!

The Tigers are playing amazingly well this year (5-0 BABY!!)!! I lost a bet to a few of the players in my class because I told them Auburn would win (I still WANTED Clemson to win, just didn't think it would happen). So the win over Auburn resulted in a little cake-making.

Their request was for strawberry cake and it turned out amazingly well!! There were whole strawberries in the batter and then I iced it with a delicious cream cheese icing.

The finished product--yes, I had to carry this puppy across campus to class. But it was 3 layers of strawberry, tiger paw awesomeness. 

Our landlord is selling our apartment, so at least twice a week for the past 3 weeks we've had Realtors in and out meaning that my room has had to stay clean. ugh! I heard once that planners/organized people need at least one space in their life that they just let go so they don't go crazy--for me, it's always been my room. I tell you what: keeping it clean has stressed me to the nth degree!! I don't know why it's so hard.

On that same note, one of the beloved Realtors affectionately calls himself the "Clemson Condo King." Can you say used car salesman personality??? Ugh. He's also the one that comes by most frequently and bursts your personal space bubble. Yikes.

I'm still recovering from that silly sinus infection. I can tell that given the slightest chance my body will relapse. I'm trying to prevent that from happening this week.

Finally, just to insert a little wedding news. The Bachelorette party was a SUCCESS!!! M loved it and I didn't take pics but friends did and I will hopefully get to post them soon. Highlights included: pedicabs, over-eager well wishers, yummy sushi, my first oyster shooter, sketchy Columbia nightlife, and a stack of "Dare to do it" Bachelorette party cards!
Also, I leave tomorrow for Charleston. Yes, I am skipping the majority of my classes this week, but it's necessary for the sake of my sanity as well as my mother's. Perhaps I'll post along the way, though.

Y'all have a good week!
