Michelle's Post:
Hi all! I couldn't get Blurty to work today either so here is my posting.
Update:
Hi everyone! Thanks for continuing to post your prayers; you are all wonderful. Reading all of your postings makes me wish that I was up there more so I had a chance to talk with each of you. I hope that the Love Feast goes well this weekend! Have fun!
Life at Purdue has been a whirlwind lately. I just finished my last classes ever and am starting my education externship on Monday. I'm also trying to job hunt for the fall, finish a thesis, and look for apts in St.Louis for my hospital internships (May-Sept) and Indy where I'm hoping to work from Sept on. I think it's going to be awhile before my life settles down again. The next few months will be full of constant change - exciting yet nerve-wracking.

I had a job interview for a pediatric private practice yesterday that went very well.
The trees are budding and flowers are starting to come up!!!!
The Wesley Foundation and friends
A wonderful dating relationship
Concerns:
For all of the students in my department who will be leaving the security of campus and friends and venturing out to internships on Monday. For friendships to continue.
For all of us taking the national certification exam tomorrow morning.
For the people living in Haiti in the midst of the upheaval there.
For strength and willpower for my sister as she struggles with wanting to drop out of college in her last semester.
Current mood: overwhelmed

Hi everyone, it was great seeing you at New Community
tonight. I wanted to give you a little update on
Ashlynne, my manager's grandaughter. She is doing a
little better, she was up walking, or trying to at
least. She was connected to a bunch of wires so she
couldn't go far, and for a hyper 2 yr old this hasnt
been going over well. Her oxygen level is still low,
but things are looking up.
Other Prayer Requests:
My Eagle's Nest, next week's Oasis topic may be
difficult for a couple kids in my Eagle's Nest
Help in following Rob's challenge tonight and looking
for God everywhere
It's really windy out there this morning...my friends
be careful out on the roads

It appears this is just going to turn into my personal journal for thoughts on life, prayers to God, and anything else I feel I just need to get out. This seems to be comforting for some reason, even though I hope many people won't actually read it LOL
Current mood:
refreshed.Current music: none.
For some reason I woke up in an extremely focused and motivated mood on Sunday. Part of my emotional ups and downs are because of my diet, my organizational skills (or lack there of) and the lack of a daily routine. So as I try to become more consistent with my walk and with life's responsibilities I've decided I need to make some changes. Unfortunately, it's been so long since I've really organized the physical aspects of my life that it's hard to get motivated to tackle it. Yesterday I sorted through my whole apartment and started the process. I should be done with it tonight. Next thing to work on... all the smoking. Gotta quit. I also had a hard time keeping up with things this weekend. I didn't do a very good job of keeping up with my bbl studies and prayer. Hopefully I can do better this week with consistency.
Prayer requests for the day:
Consistency with my prayer and bbl study
motivation/laziness
help making good decisions on a daily basis
My sister and her child on the way
My bbl study/small group, that we can grow closer to each other and learn to be more
effective in helping each other grow
Mom on trip to Az to see sis
Praises!
Warmer weather yet again!
Energy to get my stuff done this weekend
Bitterness issues come into play less and less
Current mood: restless - bored.
Current music: PFR - The Love I Know.
I have this pattern I seem to be stuck in. I come to a point where I decide things need to change, and I'm motivated for all of 2 days. Yesterday I missed some of my reading so I'm trying to play catchup today, but I don't even feel like sitting down to type this let alone read anything. Ok, enough complaining. I'm gonna try and spend some time alone tomarrow getting focused on things and just examining my life. That might provide a bit peace.
Prayer requests for the day:
Consistancy in my commitments, and consistancy in working on a good relationship with God, making it a priority
Good input, help chosing the right things to input into my life, ie. radio, tv, internet, ect....
My eagles nest (kids in my middle school group)
bitterness issues
Praises for today!
Getting a chance to sleep in, rejuv my body!
Good time with family while they were in town, broken ties being repaired
for forgivness and yet another and another "second chance" as I continue to fail daily
a little bit warmer weather...very little but still
Looking forward to bbl study tomarrow. Gonna brainstorm some ideas for us to better help each other, and satay connected and growing. :)
Current mood: Lazy.
I actually got up and got to work on time today! That's about a 50/50 thing with me. :) It's nice to be able to spend time with my dad when we schedule our appointments together. Most of the day was spent driving all of St Joe County and when I got back to the office, I just felt like I didn't want to sit there anymore; So home it is! When I was on my computer at work, I was going though some old emails. One of the bad things about having emails for the past several years is running into letters you might not want to read. That's what happened when I noticed something from Angie. Anyways, I usually don't think about her all too often, but today I could just feel the bitterness and rage building up. I really need help letting this crap go... All in all, cept for the nostalgia, it was a good day.
Requests for the day:
Bitterness issues/forgiving those who hurt me
Laziness/motivation
My sister and her baby
consistancy with my walk
Praises!!!
Hasn't snowed today!!! The sun was acutally out for about 5 minutes!
Good opportunities for work
A father who is always there for me when I need to talk, even when he only understands 5 percent of why I feel what I do.... LOL
Current mood:
restless.Current music: Hey Ya, Outcast.
Ok, time to get my lazy butt moving and start taking some real steps towards God. I usually don't spend any time in my bible throughout the week and that's the first step I'm planning on taking. As much time as I spend on the computer, I found a site that will send me my "assignment" for the day and I can read it in my mail. Prolly the only way I'll remember to read it! I'm also starting this journal/prayer log kind of monitor my spiritual growth/health and to take a closer look at God's dealings in my life. I guess lately I've just been stagnant, and haven't done a very good job of taking care of my responsibilities: at work or to my closest friends. Well, here goes....
Things I'm praying for today:
renewed passion for my "first love"
a memory for the things I need to accomplish on a daily basis
laziness/motivation
my sister - baby on the way
Thinks I'm thankful for today!!!
God always takes me back...
My friends, who never leave my side even when I stray from theirs
My church and resouces to make changes happen in my life
Well, that's it for the day. Feel free to jump in and comment or suggest or post a prayer request yourself. Keep my in prayer as I try to keep my spiritual self healthy on a daily basis.
Current mood:
determined.Current music: Eminem - Without Me.
