*Oh Happy Day*

I had my Biochemistry test this morning and I stayed up all night studying for it. I felt fairly good about the test when I left the building. I went to meet up with a friend I have met here to walk to our next class. I was so exhausted, I could barely keep my eyes open during class. It is Wednesday and I have had my first test of three and three lab reports due any day now. You could say that I have been stressed to the MAX. So as I am walking back to my car from class, it's an overcast, gloomy day and I'm feeling just tired and run down. I decide to check my e-mail as I wait to walk across the crosswalk… if you go to Auburn you know this can take a long time… and honestly it was like the clouds parted, the sun came out, and I had this overwhelming feeling of joy as I see an e-mail from Auburn being invited to an interview for Pharmacy School. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this moment. I have been working on my pre requisites for about 2+ years and I began this application process last summer. With a few set backs, I have pushed through, still working hard, and praying for God's plan in my life no matter what it may be. I have been stressed and anxious about the whole process but still trying to stay positive. The sermon at church this past Sunday was about Abraham and Sarah and how God promised them a child but being in their old age, they decided to not wait on God's promise and do it their way. God eventually fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah even though they didn't have faith that He would follow through. Pastor Chris preached about waiting on God's timing in your life and trusting and relying on Him to meet your wants and needs. This really spoke to me and I realized how I was trying to be in control of the situation instead of letting God take control for the plans of my life. So I let it go and decided that I would do everything to the glory of God and He will work out the details. I honestly was not expecting that letter today and I cannot even put into words how excited and thankful I am to have this opportunity to meet with the Admissions Committee. It does happen to fall on the same day as my Mammalian Test 2 but at this point I do not mind at all, I am just so ecstatic! This has truly been one of the best days I have had in I can't remember… no sleep and all! :) I hope you have all had a good week! My interview is Monday and I should find out within 24 hours whether I will be joining the Class of 2012! Prayers are much needed! I guess it's time for me to start on this Mammalian some more! <3


Quote of the Night: 
Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power 
   and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, 
   for everything in heaven and earth is yours. 
Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; 
   you are exalted as head over all. 
 Wealth and honor come from you; 
   you are the ruler of all things. 
In your hands are strength and power 
   to exalt and give strength to all. 
 Now, my God, I give you thanks, 
   and praise your glorious name.
~ 1 Chronicles 29:11-13

This past weekend, thanks to my man, I am now the proud owner of a brand new iPhone 4S. I had a black 4 and handed it down and upgraded to the white 4S. Even though the outside of phone does not look much different, there are many thing that I can do with this phone that I could not with the 4. Probably the thing I like the most is of course Siri AND the dictation feature where you speak into the phone and it types out your words for e-mails, texts, notes, reminders, etc. That becomes very handy when you have little time and also when you are driving. So enough about the features, I am dying to get a cover for my iPhone. I never had one for my other iPhone and I have been looking for the perfect one to get. I found a few tonight to chose from: 

 

 

What do you think? I love the bling because it's not too flashy but just enough to catch your eye. Of course, I am CRAZY about Tiffany's! And the last two are so girly, yet simple. I am so indecisive so I need your help! Let me know what your favorite is. I hope you are having a great weekend. I have been working on lab reports and studying away. Prayers are needed and would be appreciated. I love you, world!

My Week

10:42 PM Es Elle 0 Comments


I am not even going to rehash everything that has happened in the last week to two weeks because it was that bad. But, let's just say this note pretty much sums it up. When misfortunate events happen… which seems to be frequently in my case… I try not to dwell on it too much. I generally vent to a friend or two and then never repeat it again. You can't move forward if you are reliving your misfortune over and over again. I am determined to have a great weekend and and even greater week next week! I am very sorry I have not blogged!  this is becoming habitual No, really I will do my best to keep you updated on everything. I just hate to be the bearer of bad news all the time. You know the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, it's better to say nothing at all"? Well now you know where I stand when I go MIA on here for a couple of days! It just means it's time for prayers! I hope you have have a better week than I have and if you totally relate to this note, well I hope it gives you the courage to get up and fight another day. I have many many things to blog about so keep checking in! TGIF! <3

God's Little Creatures

1:38 PM Es Elle 0 Comments

So I got on fb the other day and one of my sorority sisters posted about a little puppy that her and her mother were trying to find a home for. They found this puppy in the middle of a road, wandering in circles and crying. They thought he may be a peekapoo or a shih tzu and asked people to contact her if they were interested in giving him a home. A couple of days went by and her mother took this puppy to the vet to have him checked out and get him on heart worm medicine. The veterinarian told them that the puppy was born blind and that is probably why the breeders had thrown him out in the road. The puppy is 6-8 weeks old and the veterinarian said he would only grow to be about 5-8 lbs. He also said that the puppy could gain his vision as he gets older but that there was no way of knowing because he eyes are so small right now. My heart broke for this little guy and was literally in tears when she told me about them finding him. I can't imagine how someone could be so cruel to throw out one of God's little creatures in the middle of a road just because it was born blind and probably as a result of their bad breeding. This puppy looks a lot like my Coco and will grow to be about as big as she is, and just thinking of that happening to her really hurts my heart for this little guy. Mark and I were going to try and provide a home for this puppy but with Mark living at home (his mom would not let him keep the puppy) and me living 2 hours away and having school, we were not able to do it. If we lived closer to each other and could share in the responsibility, I would so do it. It would not be fair for me or for the puppy to take that responsibility on and not be able to give him the attention he needs. If you know of anyone that wants a puppy or needs a companion (cuddle buddy) in their life, this puppy is perfect. He is a little fur ball and I have done a lot of research about blind dogs and they are not difficult at all to have. I pray that this puppy will find a good loving home that he deserves very soon. Let me know if you are interested or know anyone who would be. I have attached pictures below of the cute little cotton ball! Happy Tuesday All!

DIY Light Fixture

10:24 PM Es Elle 0 Comments

After dealing with tornado warnings and canceled classes last week, I got a wild hair to do a project. Being locked up in my place with no where to go I was thinking about the materials I had on hand. Spray paint, tools, and one last light fixture that does not mesh with the rest. This hanging light has drove me nuts since I moved in. It is doodoo brown and the whole light fixture is hooked to the ceiling and I will pretty much have to replace the entire thing. I fully intend on replacing the ugly thing but I figured why not change it up and have it blend in with the rest of the place until my master electrician brother can come down and replace it for me. I was just DYING to do something productive and creative on this nasty day. I must say that I am pleased with the way it turned out… it is not the best looking kitchen light but it will definitely not be the first object I glare at with disgust when I walk in the door anymore! I forgot to take a before picture of the fixture completely together but got one after I took the globe off. I have purposefully left that light fixture out of every picture I have taken in the kitchen so I still did not have any older ones to refer to. The lighting for the After pictures is not that great but in case you can't tell, it is now a brushed silver color! Tell me what you think! Hope you have all had a Happy Hump Day, it was pretty rainy here but none the less a wonderful day!
