It snowed here, in NC, before January! I swear the Poulin family can't keep the cold away. I am thoroughly content and absolutely love the snow. It makes me miss home so much more, but I am simply ecstatic to go visit NH starting the 20th! However, I have lots to do before then...
Midterms are NEXT WEEK! I assure you, I am horrified. These next 12 days will be the death of me. Here's on the agenda:
-Cafe Night/Talent Show Thursday: performing this song with Hay-Nay.
-Gingerbread House making party with some of my favorite people Friday.
-Hearing back from my Top College Choice at 9:00 PM EST next Tuesday (12/14). Needless to say I have given up all holds on getting in. If I get in, I am definitely going there as I applied early decision and for now, I just want to go exactly where God has planned for me. I know that if I don't get in it is not because I didn't work hard enough in high school, or my recommendations were less than up to par, but that it just was not the right place for me. Please pray for peace about the entire situation!
-Midterms 12/15-17/10
*I have started studying already and am trying to relieve as much stress as possible by using psychology's spacing effect. :)
Also, I know that this will just be good preparation for AP exams. It is crazy that I only have 112 school days left and then I will have GRADUATED!
-Lizabeth and Bekk will be home next wee and I cannot wait! <3>
-Little old me is leading worship for New Hope Student Ministries and I am nervous, but anxiously praying that God can use me and that it all goes smoothly.
-Monday I leave for NH and the ultimate goal is to get through all of the mentioned things with as little pain as possible. I am blessed and so thankful for everyone here in NC and there in NH that I know and am so happy to spend Christmas with some of my best friends and family.
Psalm 3:5&6 (The Message)
I stretch myself out. I sleep.
Then I'm up again—rested, tall and steady,
Fearless before the enemy mobs
Coming at me from all sides.
Psalm 3:5&6 (NIV)
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
Final Thought: My youth pastor Scott uses the Message translation a lot and I find that I can relate to it a lot more easily. Both versions of this give me such a peace though, and I like to see different translations.
&Let me know what you think!
Sorry for the constant rambles,
Rach
