Just went to my old xanga site (www.xanga.com/allisonalr) and read through all of my posts from this past school year. It's so weird to see how things change and work out. That's one reason I like to keep a blog, so that I can read back through it later. It's amazing how God works things out sometimes, and how reading back through those posts I can see that everything really does happen for a reason. I know that if I hadn't gone through some of the bad things I read about then I never would have experienced some of the great things God had in store for me. I've been reading the Redemption series by Karen Kingsbury, and there's a well known verse that she quotes often that I've definitely had to cling to during my college years. It's Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." What a reassuring verse.

So, today was my last day of work in the offices at church. Sunday will be my last day with the kids. I'll probablly cry...I've never been good with goodbyes. I'm going to miss those kids. I had the greatest boss this Summer. Mrs. Kim was great. She sent me flowers at work today since it was my last day. :)

I get to go to Monroe next week and stay with Erin a couple of days! Yay! I haven't gotten to stay at her house since way back at the beginning of the Summer, so I'm looking forward to it.

2 WEEKS UNTIL I MOVE BACK IN TO MY DORM!!!!!!! :) I can't wait to see my friends!!
