Uggghhh! I think I might have been the most physically miserable I've been in a long time today. I got up at 5:30 this morning to do corn detasseling. I got there, got the little "safety lecture", got on the bus, and went to work in the fields. I must admit, the first few hours weren't bad at all. I was actually enjoying myself by talking, laughing, and singing. Maria said it everyone was a lot more talkative today than yesterday. Well, I'll have you know that I believe it had to do with my absence yesterday and my presence today! Haha, juust joking! ;-) The reason I was so miserable was because it rained a good part of the day, and was so extremely muddy! Seriously, I think I added about 20 pounds to each shoe just by the mud caked on there! I definitely couldn't see my shoes for most of the day. And wet jeans and wet socks are most certianly one of the worst feelings in the entire world!!! My feet got sooo wrinkly, they looked and felt like they had deep cuts all over them! My eye is also having this weird problem. It's all swollen (much better now than this morning and yesterday) and every time I focus on something (or most any other time) it gets all watery. It's really weird and looking and not very fun. Alrighty then, now that I'm done complaining....... Sorry I just had to let that all out and what better way than blogging? I would post a ton about Covfamikoi, but most of you were either there, or were filled in on the weeks incidents. I learned so much! I'm excited about going to church tomorrow with new thoughts about worshipping God. Dr. Prutow's thoughts were all about "Encountering Christ in worship", so it'll be neat to apply the things I've learned. I made some new friends at Covie. We had a ton of fun hanging out! I also REALLY enjoyed the high school accountability groups. Katie Porter was my counselor and she did an amazing job! Also, each group put on a short skit. I was just laughing today thinking about them. If you weren't there to see them, you absolutely MUST get ahold of someone who taped them. They were absolutely hyterical! I'm still sometimes struggling in trusting God with the whole Australia thing. Well...I guess just with my life in general. But every time I get depressed about it, God makes me realize how foolish it is of me to not completely trust Him! I definitely cannot say this all the time, but I am working on letting the joy of the Lord be my one and only strength. I still appreciate continued prayers! :-) Quote of the post: "A thunderstorm is God's way of saying you spend too much time in front of the computer." --Unknown Verse of the post: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." --1 Timothy 4:12 EDIT: Beth got a blog!!!

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.
