Yesterday after testing for 2 and a half hours I finally got a chance to go hang out with friends. My life has been pretty antisocial since I started the nursing program due to the level of studying I've been doing.
I first had the chance to go to my friend Abbey's prayer team meeting. Abbey is a senior in college and when she graduates will be leaving in August to go to China for a year with a program called the ELIC in which she will be teaching English at a school with the purpose of sharing the gospel in a restricted country. It has been such a blessing to watch Abbey grow in the Lord since her salvation and I am in awe of how powerfully the Lord has been working through her. In order to go to China she must raise $15,000, at this time she has reached $6,000. She has put together a prayer and missions team to help support her through this trip and help prepare her for the trip. A few of our friends and I met yesterday to try and put together fundraisers to help with the funds. We are planning a benefit concert in February! I am so thankful to be a part of Abbey's heart in this mission and cannot wait to hear of the amazing ways the Lord will use her.
After the meeting, my friend Emily (who is going on a summer mission to Ireland) had a little Cookie Party get-together. She asked everyone to bring a 2dozen cookies. It was a great time to hangout and fellowship together during finals. Of course when all of us get together something weird always happens but it is of course thoroughly entertaining. Enjoy a few of the pics I took last night at the shindig.
These are probably some of the best storebought cookies ever.
