Obedience... Not Always Easy

Today was fairly uneventful. Aside from emailing the president of ASME about the conference in Dallas and doing a butt-load of homework, nothing really exciting happened.

My new roommate, Michaela, was sworn into the AFROTC at UNM today. Good luck, Michaela! I will be praying for you while you train to serve our amazing country.

While Michaela was gone, I did a ton of homework (2 papers and many math problems included). I finally got the majority of it done, which is a nice relief. I have never sat on a bed with a laptop on my lap for so long. It no longer feels like the laptop is just a gift, it's now a tool :( I knew this day would come. Hello day!
INTERVARSITY

InterVarsity (IV) is a Christian Fellowship that is here on campus. Tonight was the 2nd meeting (the 1st one I had to leave early) and it was awesome. We are studying the book of Jonah for 4 weeks, which is a pretty interesting study. Here is some incite:

Obey God no matter what! :) It may not be the easiest thing to do and His calling for you may be something different than what you have planned, but He knows what is ahead in your life. We are only looking at the next couple of weeks in our lives, while God is looking at our lives until the day we die. I can think of countless times when I knew I should do something because God wanted me to but didn't or when I did something that I wasn't supposed to and it was sad in the eyes of God.

It makes me sad to know that sometimes I can be viewed of as a failure, but thank goodness that God is forgiving and no matter how big we mess up, it is always possible to get back on our feet with God and walk by faith :)
 
SOCORRO COUNTY FAIR AND RODEO

Tomorrow Michaela and I are going to go hang out at the Socorro County Fair and Rodeo. :) I am so excited... It should be a blast. :) And guess what animals they are showing... PIGS!! Ok, that part does not sound interesting to me. Seeing a bunch of pigs parade around with their "owners" like they are all that is just ridiculous. I get horse shows, and sometimes dog shows, but pig shows? Who ever thought of that??

I will let y'all know how that one goes! :)

Well it's off to bed for me. Home in T-minus 2 days :) I cannot wait to see my family, Caleb, and his family. Oh and I have a date with my dear friend, Tina! :) I can't wait. 

<3 y'all. Have a good night!

Ali :)
