::Prioritizing People::


When times gets crazy and there are lots of activities to plan, things to clean, and homework to finish, the first thing I pitch out of my life is my time for relationships. Recently, I have realized the problem with this particular mind frame. God calls us to build relationships with each other and caring for one another. What a failure I am! So this weekend I am trying to change this. I got the opportunity to go out with some lovely ladies to Oberweis to get some amazing FREE LATTEs! Wait did you hear that FREE. Yup and it was so lovely to get to catch up with these girls. Then Lindsey and I went to a friends movie night and saw tons of old and hopefully new friends. For me the easiest thing to do is hole up in my room, I guess this is my introverted side coming out. But I know that this can be a very wrong thing. Thank you to all who keep me accountable, and to those who want to see me smile!

::Legacy::


There comes a time in everyone's life when they ponder the imprint they have created in their "world". My world for the past three years has been Mobap. This may seem silly but I have poured my blood, sweat and tears into MBU. This past weekend, however, I have seen a little fruit of my labor. Student Activities took some current and aspiring leaders to a leadership retreat. And being President of Student Activities, I had the opportunity to lead many of the meetings. I am so amazed at the caliber of leadership in SAC. They have gone above and beyond what I expected of them. There is passion, innovativeness and initiative in the group and I am very proud. I feel relieved to hand off the position that I have held for two years to any one of these wonderful men and women. Thank you to all who will continue this Legacy.

::Sometimes You Just Gotta Live A little::


There are days where the only times I see my room is right before I go to bed. I feel like I am constantly busy. Don't get me wrong, I love the activities that I choose to be committed to, but sometimes you just gotta let your hair down. And so Friday I did just that. After I crashed on my bed (being busy makes you tired) I was woken by my phone with a simple text message saying, "game night". That little phrase changed my Friday into a whole bunch of fun.
