| the countdownsi'm not sure what to update on, but ppl have been buggin me to do so, so here it is  and i'm so bored right now this sounded like a good time consumer lol
spring break starts friday (yay!!) and graduation is only 58 days away! i can't WAIT to be done!!! i'll miss everyone and the atmosphere here at bbc... but i'll be so glad to be done with college that i think i'll get over it... lol God has blessed me with an awesome two years here, and stretched me in many ways... but i'm ready to be done with school for good  here's just a few pics of my wonderful "suities" whom i'll miss terribly! (from janna's b-day)
janna and ashley
me and jen, our adopted suite-mate
erick graduates from basic training on the 29th (15 days!!) and i can't wait to talk to him again! we've only been able to communicate through snail mail letters for the past 2 months, so it'll be great to hear his voice again  from there he goes on to AIT (also in georgia) until august. after that... not sure, prolly iraq, which i don't like to think about but it's all in God's hands. we won't see each other for like another 5 months, but it'll just be so nice to be able to talk on the phone again in a couple weeks
i <3 him
the move to va is looking more and more possible... which is exciting! it's still not for sure that we're moving, but i'm hoping and prayin to that end hehe my dad hasn't found a job yet, but is hopefully taking a trip down there with my mom in a couple weeks to look hardcore. *crosses fingers* i'm ready to move on and change things up a bit, and may is the perfect time to do it with michelle and i both graduating.
that's all.

| sometimes life just suckslike my dad says, "life is hard... then you die." ever feel like that?? lol today wraps up a relaxing and wonderful Christmas break and the beginning of the END... my last semester of college... how could i NOT be excited!?!? the last few weeks, although emotionally draining and rough at times, have been nearly perfect. my relationship with my parents has been getting stronger and a lot better this past year, but over break i was struck with just how amazing it is to have them around i've never in my entire life been so open and honest with them and truly value their opinion like i do now... it's such a blessing to have parents who love me and care about me in every detail and who want to help me make the best choices for my future and most Godly decisions for my life. yay! and then there's erick *sigh* this is where all the girls go "awww" and the guys go "ok, next paragraph"  for those of you who don't know the whole story... we met at school last semester and developed a friendship unlike any other. the amazing thing about finding a guy who is so focused on God and serving Him is that it's never been about US... it's about God and His plan for our lives individually. thankfully, that just happens to include each other in a special way and "finding" each other was not difficult, because neither of us were looking for relationships, but developed a friendship built on Christ and often praying and reading the Bible together. over thanksgiving break erick spent most of the week here at my house. that gave him and my family a chance to get to know each other... and i'm sure he got a true picture of us all because our house was pretty crazy with matt and ang and the kids here a lot plus company for thanksgiving day so my parents liked him from the start, and in december erick asked my dad for permission to date me (yeah i know, major "awww" factor right there, right girls? ) on december 11th erick came to the computer lab where i work with a dozen gorgeous red roses and asked me to be his girlfriend yeah i like him a lil... hehe life sounds pretty good for beth, right? so ur prolly wondering where the title fits into all this happiness hehe well, although erick and i know that God is still going to do amazing things through the next few weeks and months... being apart for the last 4 weeks while he's been home in iowa is just the beginning... he has joined the army and is leaving for basic training tomorrow morning  it's gonna be tough on both of us, but we are confident that God is going to grow us and prepare us individually in ways that will rock our world and it's going to be a very positive experience and good for both of us AND for our relationship. it's clear to us that without God as the center of our relationship, it will fail... so we're keeping our focus on Christ and allowing him to work in our hearts and grow us into more Godly individuals and build a relationship that is God-honoring and centered on Christ alone  YAY! so yes, beth has a military boyfriend...  lizzie d (since her b/f koty is in the marines) and i have decided that our precious lis needs to find herself a good ole navy boy and we'll all go through this experience together and cover 3 of the main military branches--army, navy, marines lol aside from the gooey love story stuff... there's a lot up in the air concerning my future (and that of my entire family). moving to VA is still a large possibility, but certainly not a for-sure thing. michelle and i graduate in may (WOOHOO!!!) but have no stinkin clue what's gonna happen after that lol we'll either be packin up and movin w/ the fam or lookin in the area for jobs and prolly an apartment. either way, God has a plan... we just don't know what it is yet, so that's a lil stressful considering may is only 4 months away well i'll stop rambling and get to packing and preparing to leave for school in a few hours. leave me some love and encouragement... can't have too much of that | | |
| joy, trials and... diamonds?so i guess i actually have a life now, cuz i haven't updated this in several months lol i suppose that doesn't really mean i have a life, just that i've filled my schedule with a ton of stuff so it LOOKS like i have a life tricky tricky. well an update on me... my summer was really busy, but it needed to be. i worked and did my practicum (secretary internship like thing) so between the two i had basically no time to do anything haha but it was good because now i don't have to do my practicum during the semester and i made some $$... which pretty much covered books rofl
being back in the dorm is awesome, i didn't realize how much i had missed the social aspects over the summer. i have a great roomie ( kim) who puts up with me without complaining hehe she's even getting used to my random belching, but has yet to start rating them on a scale of 1-10 as lis did last year lmbo i guess my room-mates just aren't talented in that area, so they have to find humor in the "gift" God has given me well on to less disturbing things... haha
God's been doing amazing things in my life already this semester. Several speakers at chapel have been focusing on Joy through trials (James 1:2-6). what an amazing thing! one thing that has been stressed a lot is that when we're going through a trial, we shouldn't ask God to take us out of it; we should ask him what He wants us to learn from it, and pray for wisdom to make good choices through the whole situation.
i'm going home today!!! first time all semester, which is pathetic because i only live like 45 minutes away from school lol it'll be nice to spend the weekend w/ fam, out in the middle of no where with fresh air and no cell phone reception hehe and yerp, i finally got a cell. my number is in my info on AIM if ya want it, but i'm pretty much not posting it on xanga for everyone and their mother.
speaking of everyone and their mother, they're all stinkin ENGAGED!!! amen?? lol i guess it is the norm at this stage in life... but for those of us who aren't wearing a massive polished rock on our left hand, it seems a lil overwhelming but horray for those who are engaged, cuz i'm def not trying to take away from that joy cuz it's very exciting
well if i make this too long ya'll will dread reading my updates lol so... hope you have a fantastic weekend, and leave me some love and comments
<3 beth

| what's this?? an update???i know, i know, you're all extremely shocked  beth is finally updating  this may be a long one, but don't complain because you've been asking for it 
one week from today i go home for the summer! it's hard to believe that a year of college is gone already, and even harder to believe that i'm now half way through college all together(2-year degree)!! this year has been filled with many great times, lots of tears and tough situations, and many, MANY lessons. God is so wonderful, and through all that's gone on this year (specifically this semester) he has opened my eyes to many of my faults and areas i need to fix and improve in my life (there are so many!!) and has brought along just the right people to be an encouragement and to get me through.
one of the highlights of this semester was the spring banquet!! i technically went w/ michelle (my sister) as my date...  she brought paula too so we all just kinda went as a group, along with lis and lee.
me and my gorgeous sis
me and michelle at the pond after the banquet
me and my beautiful roomie, lis
my plans for the summer are just to work and make money to pay for school (don't have a job lined up yet, but i'm looking) and to fill both my office practicums so i don't have to do that during the school year on top of everything else. i'm currently waiting for pastor to get back from vaca so he and the decons can decide whether or not i'm permitted to do my practicum at the church office... that'd be nice, so pray that it works out 
next year should be a busy one. i'll be working about 15 hours a week in the computer lab here at school... which i'm excited about because it's an on campus job so i don't need a car that i don't have so basically i'll supervise the lab, keep it dust free, do random jobs for mrs. hartley, help ppl with the comps if they need it, and otherwise just sit there and get paid to do my hw God certainly has me taken care of 
also, i've just recently joined the class officers as one of the class reps for the sophmore class, so i'll be busy with meetings and stuff with that next year. but i look forward to that and i'm really excited to step out of my comfort zone  and do some leadership and get involved around campus and also get to know lots of ppl, especially the awesome class officers!  i went to my first meeting with them on tuesday, and they all seem like a blast! we have another meeting tomorrow night w/ our class advisor, dr. cruvor... i think he missed his calling by becoming a prof... he shoulda been a stand-up comedian hehe he's amazing
another lil thing for next semester... lol i was elected secretary of the office professionals... "secretary of the secretaries," as my mom would say hehe that shouldn't be a big deal or take too much time... we just have to plan career chapels and random things like that
wow, busy schedule! but may God be glorified through it ALL! i'm really looking forward to all the opportunities that He has opened up for me, and i know that if i keep the right attitude, God will teach me so much next year!
this is getting really long, and the more time i sit here the more things i think of to update hehe but a quick overview... God is amazing, my fam is doing great (can't wait to spend the summer with them!!!), lis is transfering to cedarville next year  and i'll miss her beyond what words can express, but my roomie for next year (kim) is a doll , i think i'm finally becoming content with singleness, there's only one more day of class then one final and i'm done, please pray that i fiind a good job for the summer, and.... if u got this far in reading my update, leave me a comment hehe
love u all!

| "How's he gonna read that magazine rolled up like that?" -- insectoh there is so, SO much i could update on... but i'll try to keep it to the basic and happy stuff 
today was the finish of 7 weeks into the semester!! crazy, huh?? and since there are only 17 weeks in the semester (15 class weeks) we're almost half way there YAY! i don't know where this week went... but i LIKE it! lol i haven't been totally overloaded with school work, which is really nice. but i'm sure it won't last lol the end of the semester gets wicked busy, but God will give the strength needed for when that moment comes, cuz he's pretty much awesome like that 
well, beth is single... for like a month now, actually. i'm still trying to see how this one fits into the "happy" category.... lol it's been ROUGH, to say the least! ha... yeah...  but since God is in control and never lets His children go through trials that aren't good for them or without purpose, it's a happy thing that i'm growing closer to God through this and that in the end i'll be where He wants me - that's def something to smile about, even if the situation has left me completely broken. a broken heart is an open heart, eh?
so i applied to be a counselor for TLC... i REALLY want to do it this summer. it's two weeks here at bbc (guess i just don't wanna get away from this place, even during summer vaca haha). i just think it would be such an awesome ministry... a very hard one, i know that, but it'd be so amazing! i have such a passion for people, teens especially, and this would be a great opportunity for me to help girls grow and live for Christ. so pray that if it's God's will, i'll be accepted for this position!
speaking of prayer requests.... i need a job for the summer! hehe as in a full-time job, and one that will count as my practicum in an office position. chances of finding this kind of full-time job for just the summer.... slim to none.  but i'm on the lookout!
well that's it! it's MOVIE TIME w/ the gal's from Vibard! have an amazing weekend, everyone! and i'm hoping for comments since ya'll begged me to update lol
much luv,
-beth
