woot woot for pop tarts
so i am feeling really confused at the moment. i just found out yesterday that my friend i was going to live with next year is not going to be able to live in linden. it had seemed earlier that God was working things out to have some girl rockers in linden again next year. now there is just me and it is long past the time to be able to get out of my contract without having to pay a lot of money which is something i don't have. i was really excited about the chance to live with her and now i am just wondering what on earth God is doing. i mean i know that he knows and that there is a purpose for this but i have no idea what it is. i really didn't want to have another random roommate my last year of school. due to past experiences i always worry when meeting someone new that they are going to hate me or be nice to me because they just feel sorry for me. no matter how much i've been told otherwise i still struggle with it at times and it gets frustrating because it really shouldn't matter what other people think of me i should be concerned with what God thinks. too often i want to let my circumstances define how i feel and what kind of attitude i have. there is only a week and a half left until the end of finals and i was completely ready to be done with school three weeks ago. i am worried that my random roommate experience is going to go from fantastic to worse. i know that the bible tells us not to worry about anything but i am having a hard time to not do so right now. i am also feeling stressed about finishing my paintings by thursday and i have way too much stuff in my room. BUT one thing that i am SUPER DUPER excited about...i got a job!! YEAH!!!!!!!!! Praise God i get to stay in ames this summer again! and i gets to live with mighty mouse!! aka katie junge. i am super pumped i am going to work at the mu cafe and i get to work with christy for part of the time i work. i've have also gotten 4 buy 1 get 1 free pepsi/mt. dew caps in the past week or so which is kinda crazy pop machines keep giving them to me...so yeah!

Emily,
I'm anticipating seeing God use you in a special way next year that you don't know about yet. I've very encouraged that you're running to Him right now, and I don't need to share any verses with you because you already seem to know in your heart that He's in control.
Keep your spirits up, Emily, this suffering over losing your roomate will be temporary, and replaced with joy. I'm so glad to have you as a sister :)

Emily,
Something interesting... many of the greek verbs stand for a continued state of something. So its alright to worry from time to time. Just as some stress can be helpful, but too much wears a body out.
Although the year might not start out with you having a girl rocker for a roomate I pray that you'll have a girl rocker for a roomate by the end of the year... maybe even without having to change roomates.
Keep goin, and hopefully I'll get a chance to hang out with you and the rest of us who will be around for the summer.
~Steve
