last week of the winter quarter.

the weekend that was: fun. i went to the taft drumline competition on saturday at south high. the drummers played well (even with the major flub at the beginning of the show). and we were shocked when we went from last place out of six at the previous competition to third place out of seven at this one. and we were only like .8 points from first place. and then on sunday we had the grand opening of our church, and the sanctuary was nearly full! it was so awesome to see that many people coming together for such a big moment in our church's history. other than all of that, i just worked on my magazine feature story (my final paper for my feature writing class) and reading. all in all it was a relaxing weekend.

where i am at the moment: at work currently, but really just wanting to be anywhere else but here. i'm really excited about the weeks ahead, but i'm also trying to live in the moment more. its a balancing thing.

on my to-do list this week: finishing my last paper of the quarter, finishing the stuff for this week's connection.

what God is teaching me: that if i fully trust Him, He will not let me down.

book i’m in the midst of: stand by alex mcfarland (for the connection). looking for alaska by john green i just finished and it was amazing! such a great book. i totally almost cried in the middle, and the end. it was fantastic. i started reading the shack by wm. paul young, and it is super good already. so many people recommended that i read it, so i picked it up at costco yesterday.

music that seemed to catch my attention this past week: for some reason the song take a breath by the jonas brothers keeps coming into play. the lyrics are something i need to hear on a normal basis, so i really felt drawn to it this week.

next trip: not mexico =( we had to cancel our trip because of financial things. but its ok, we're going to still do some mission type work during spring break. as for my next trip...i'm hoping to go down to LA sometime soon-ish for a visit to the cousins and hopefully a small trip to sacramento to visit liz. as for times for these trips...tba.

how i’m feeling about this week: restless.
