I feel like I've been hit by a train!
So... I worked from 9-3 and went straight to football practice, our coaches kicked our butts with exercises and running and pattern drills and... I played the runningback and quarterback today in our practice, I even got to blitz a few times. Aren't you impressed with my football lingo? I learned that all today. :)
We have a great team, I am pretty confident we are going to win the tourney in a few weeks... My body hurts sooooooo bad though!

Did I mention football?
I forgot the most intriguing part of my update! I have joined a women's football league (that's touch football for those of you entertaining thoughts of me bare-knuckle-boxing poor unsuspecting victims.) My body feels like I got hit by a train after my first 2 hour practice and I feel much like Forrest Gump probably felt when he first started to play the game with really confusing rules. Once I understand the point of the game I'm sure I'll get it all ironed out but in the meantime I've had to resort to asking which direction I need to run and who to stop. Anyways, it's fun and it's exercise and have you ever known me to pass up an opportunity for some healthy competition? :) More to come!
September update...
Hi friends!
Since many people haven't been receiving my updates from my other e-mail, I've decided to send this update from my school e-mail. I do hope it works!
Thank you so much for the prayer and encouragement! I have definitely felt the grace and mercy of the Lord these past few weeks amidst the craziness and being utterly buried in commitments and homework. Praise God!
Jesus is so good!
This semester is in full swing! I have a 20 page exegesical paper due here pretty soon and I am learning a TON about studying and applying the word! In my hermeneutics class I am learning how come to a passage with an open mind/heart, rid myself of as much pre-supposition as possible, study the passage in greek and hebrew, then do a full study on each word in the passage (each word takes about 3 days), incorporate any cultural, political information I can find as well as what was going on in the lives of the intended readers at the time, discover any parallel's found in the rest of the bible and then and only then make my interpretation and conclusions based on my findings. It is really difficult, but at the same time extremely fascinating. I feel like the scriptures are opening up in a whole new way for me! I am blown away by how much I have improperly interpreted and applied scripture in my life!
My little sister should be moving in with me this week if everything goes as planned! It has been a long 3 months of prayer and waiting for her to arrive, the end is in sight, she gave her notice at her work 2 weeks ago on Sunday and she is training her replacement as we speak. In the meantime I have re-organized my bedroom and life to make way for another person! The Lord has been giving me dreams about her, I could use some prayer for her heart to be open to the Lord and also to my speaking into her life. Our background has been rocky and I'm afraid her opinion of me isn't that wonderful. I so want to see her encounter the Lord while she is here and I don't want any past hurts to hinder that.
I love you all very much! I am working on getting some pictures of my school and my life in Kansas City to upload on my blog. I'm working on that in my "extra" time. :)
