It Snowed in Spokane

Hey All,
I have very little time to write this, so it will be short. I apologize for the lack of blogs recently. There ahs been so much I've wanted to share and soooooo little time. Anyway, for anyone who doesn't know, the guy I asked did say yes and we had a really good time at TWIRP. I got to ride a mechanical bull, which was probably the highlight of the whole weekend for me.

Anyway, I just got back from Spokane after a week with my family. I missed 3 days of school, but it was really worth it. I got to spend time with my old friends and seee a good portion of my extended family. Plus, I got in over 30 hours of work, which was a blessing. I flew down, but rode back with s couple a guys who I went to church with growing up. I discovered it is possible to survive a 6 hour car ride with two people in the backseat whom you barely know. Yeah, the guys failed to mention that there were two additional girls in the carpool. Oh well, it worked out. It was really cool though because God very clearly protected us at 3 different times. The first time we almost got hit by someone being an idiot. The second, a car a few cars ahead of us blew a tire and veered off the road. Luckily no one was hurt and no one ran into eachother. The craziest on e was the third one, though, where I looked up to see a car doing 360s down the interstate at 80 mph. Somehow, the car avoided all the guardrails and managed to end up facing the right direction on the shoulder. It then pulled right back out into traffic. Everyone else was again able to safely manuver around the vehicle. It was really encouraging and comforting to see God protect us and everyone around us in all of those situations.

Anyway, I need to be going. Be praying for me and my focus on God, as well as my walk with Him. Pray too for strength and endurance and motivation as semester comes to a close and finals are only a week away.

As always, love you guys and hope to hear from you soon. If nothing else, I'll be home again in a couple of weeks :-)
