Last night Little Red (my Ford Focus) was violated. :(
At about 3:00 this morning I heard tires screeching and then I went back to sleep. Well I got in my car this morning to go sub and everything that is supposed to be in my glove box was in the passenger seat or on the floor. I called my grandma because I didn't know if she needed something and forgot to put the papers back. She said that she didn't get in my car.
I then realized that my console was open and all of my notepads were in the backseat along with my cell phone charger. I didn't notice anything missing at first but then I was like wait.. if someone breaks into your car, they usually take cds. WELL... my purple cd case was gone. It is ok.... I had all of that music loaded onto my itunes on my computer :)
I then checked my overhead flap thingy and all of those cds were still there. I guess the people will just be hearing about Jesus and hopefully they will understand what they are doing is wrong!
Just some news for ya....
ps. no windows were broken so I don't know how they got in.

Working...
Today was my first day subbing here in the grand school district of Independence. I was blessed to have Kindergarten. I think that I have made it pretty clear in my mind that I DO NOT want to teach Kindergarten. I love playing with them outside of school but trying to keep them in a classroom all day long and teach them things...not my idea of fun.
Today I had students:
* In the first hr of the day I was assigned another teacher.
* Climbing walls in the bathroom. Not stall walls but actual walls and climbing into the window.
* I was told that I was mean. (That is my favorite comment)
* I had a girl come up to me, her arm about 12 inches from her nose and there was a line of snot connecting the dots.
* One of my students had a nose bleed.
* Had a fist fight and tears the last 20 min of school.
* Sent 5 students to buddy rooms.
* Heard words that would not come out of my mouth.
Remind you...this is kindergarten.
I discovered today that I love teaching students one on one. I love helping students who are struggling and help them understand so that they can get up to task with the rest of the students. I also discovered how much I love teaching overseas. I love that children overseas have a lot more respect for strangers and teachers that come into their classroom.
Only 41 more days until South Africa. I cannot wait! I am so super excited to be on foreign soil again.
mmm yes.

75 Days
Well there are only 75 days left until I leave for South Africa. I am soo excited that God has planned this adventure out for me! It is going to be an amazing time and I know that I am going to grow leaps and bounds and have my heart changed in ways that only God can do.
Right now I am currently in our stinky library sitting at a computer that looks like a dog licked the monitor to "clean" it. Oh HLG how I will not miss thee this summer.
Summer needs to get here...well at least May. I think that I have a mild case of senioritis and I still have 1 year left!! Boo hiss.
I have met some of my team members and I am soooo excited to get to "meet" them on Saturday when we have our conference call. It is going to be AWESOME and I get to know all of the details about my trip and what time I'm leaving KC...well maybe not that yet...but I hope I get to know that. Also this weekend I am going to a Missions Conference and I am WAYYY stoaked about it. God is going to teach me some awesome things. I feel like I'm truely becoming a missionary because lets see.... I don't bathe often, I don't care about my looks...well some of the times I care... I don't have a fake tan (but I wish that I did) so the pale is the new tan... I rely on other people and GOD to help me find my way around the world to tell people about Him and... I'm going to a conference. haha.
What else can I ramble about??? uh.... I have mentioned that I'm over school? Because I am. I had 6 days of no homework and then all of a sudden...BAM..tons of homework. I'm not liking this. I like the steady pace of homework.
I have no free weekends.. well the last weekend of April. This weekend...conference, the following weekend... D-Now..SO EXCITED!! Then the following weekend it is the Cardinals game and Gala!! I need to find a part so that I can practice my character!! :)
Ok well it is time for chapel... :)
Love.

It's Friday but Sunday's comin...
I was driving over to my grandma's house and I heard the song, It's Friday but Sunday's comin. (I'm not sure if that is the name of the song but that is what I'm going to call it.)
So God just really gave me this burst of energy and a rush of emotions. Today is Friday, the day that Jesus died on the Cross for your sins and mine. It was a terrible day to be on the face of this earth. Jesus suffered a terrible and horrible death. This is something that I myself would not want to see, but we do get a small glimpse of what that was like because of the movie, The Passion of the Christ.
BUT... what makes my "religion" so different from everyone elses was that MY GOD came BACK TO LIFE!!! He is alive and living in me and is waiting to live in you if you do not know Him. Romans 6:9 " For we know that since Christ was RAISED from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has a hold on him."!!!!!!
Romans 10:9-10 says, "If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believed and are justified, and it s with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
Romans 6:23 " For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
This weekend is the most powerful weekend of all of Christianity. Yes, Christmas is good. but I would have to say that Easter is even better. It is just sooo amazing to know that Christ died on the cross for me and he came back to life!
love.

I love Jesus but drink a little
The other day I was blog surfing and came across an AMAZING video! This video makes me laugh sooo hard every time I watch it...almost to the point of peeing my pants..THAT HARD.
Everyone should watch it and then come back and comment on what your opinions of drinking are.
This is the video: http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2007/ellen-gladys-hardy-p1.php?emf=1
I believe that it is OK to love Jesus and drink a little. In the bible it talks about not being a drunkard and most of the time we forget the last half of that verse. It also says to not be a glutton. Growing up a Southern Baptist, it was pounded in my head that you are not to touch alcohol because it is from Satan. Well, maybe not that exaggerated but you get the point. Anyways, us Southern Baptists have "fellowship" dinners. aka.. eat until you can't eat anymore. That is called gluttony my friends. When we eat to the point where we are in physical pain.
So, in conclusion, I don't think that it is wrong to drink a little. I think that it is perfectly fine to have a social drink with some friends. There is nothing bad about it. It is the mindset that will get you in trouble.
Just something to ponder...
Love.

Looking
This evening I watched August Rush with a few ladies whom I love. This movie is very powerful. It toys with your emotions. :)
In the movie, the boy Evan... August Rush, is trying to find his parents. He is doing everything that he possibly can at the age of 11. He loves music more than he loves food. This is something that the Wizard, Robin Williams, taught him. He wants to find his parents so bad. People keep telling him that they are dead or that they won't want him. His mom wants to know what is going on with him as well.
This is going to sound crazy but I realated this story to my future husband. I think about him all the time and I wonder if he thinks about me. I'm sure that he prays for me and is trying to find me. He is earestly seeking and trying to formulate when we will meet each other. My life verse realates well to this, well I think. Psalm 37:4-5,7a Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
I know that I must wait patiently for him and cling to the Lord because the Lord is my constant. In the movie, August's constant is music. When he is feeling down or alone, he runs to his music. This is something that we must do in our faith.
I know that this may sound cheezy but this is what my heart is right now. I am laying it out for everyone to see how much I truely care about my future husband. I love him with all that I have. I pray for him every day and hope that he is growing in the Lord and clinging to him because I will disapoint my husband many times. The Lord will never disappoint us. He will always be there for us and will never leave. I'm not saying that I will leave my husband but that I am not a perfect person. Only Christ is perfect. We must strive to become like Christ. I pray that this is what my future husband is doing.
I love you babe!

Spring Break
I was so excited for you to be here but now I am so excited for you to be over.
It is Wednesday and I think...think I have all of my homework done that can be done at home.
I'm ready to turn 21.
I am so excited to hear the awesome stuff that is happening in Florida for Beach Reach.
Jesus pretty much rocks when it comes to changing peoples hearts.
I'm ready to go to South Africa. Well at least I think I'm ready.
I wish that there was stuff that I could read to prepare myself for this awesome adventure that I am going to embark on this summer.
New friends. They are always so fun.
I love being away from the American culture and allowing God to speak to my heart.
I wish that I could hear Him so clearly when I am in "my environment" but it is so hard for me to focus.
Could someone please be praying for me in that area?
I love blogging. It keeps me young. haha. I just like getting all of my thoughts out there and out of the way so that I can think clearly. Does that make since? I hope that it does.
I am very happy for all of my friends that are getting married this summer. What an awesome time God has placed in their lives. One day it will be my turn and EVERYONE is going to know about it. haha.
I have discovered a new favorite TV show since being home.... My Big Redneck Wedding. Why do these people think that it is necessary to have such a weird wedding? I'm sure part of it is because the tv show gives them money. Oh oh ... another favorite show is... Trading Spouses. Some of those rich people need to be knocked off their high horse. So at the end of the show each wife writes a letter to the family that they stayed with and they tell them how the $50,000 is going to be spent. Well this one black lady was at this ritsy Japanese/American house and the grandma was from Japan and hasn't been back in a long time. Well the black lady left all the money to be spent by the Japanese Grandma on a trip to Japan. How nice right? Well the white nasty high horse lady was like well that is not right. It could have been put in my children's college fund...blah blah blah... and then she says... well now she (the gma) has to pay taxes on it and so we don't have anything to do with that money. NASTY WOMAN!
Wow this is a really random post...but this is how my mind has worked this time home.
I did laundry on Saturday...6 weeks worth in 1 day!!! Awesome...I know! haha. Well all put the last load has been folded. It is still sitting in my basket. I'm sure that I won't fold it until I put it back into the dryer to be de-wrinkled on Saturday. Wow...I'm lazy.
Today I have sat at the computer for uh.. about 6 hrs of my day and I have only been up since 11:30.

Thank you Spring Break.

AFRICA!!!
In 115 days I will be boarding a plane that will probably lead to another plane but eventually I will be in South Africa!! I am so excited that God has placed this opportunity in my lap. I have always wanted to go to Africa and here I am...talking about my soon to be adventure.
I'm praying that God will open my eyes to things that I wouldn't have seen before this trip. That God will continue molding me into the Woman of God that He wants me to become. I am praying that through this trip I will become a better person, friend, daughter, wife (one day), and love Christ so passionately that nothing will faze me.
South Africa. AFRICA...I'M GOING TO AFRICA!!
Please be praying for me as I prepare for this adventure.
love.

How to Save a Life
Home. How amazing it feels to be here. I was soo excited driving home from Hannibal, MO last Thursday because I hadn't seen my family in a while. I was excited that MY summer was finally here and I didn't have to focus on school. All I get to do is travel the world and tell people about Jesus and spend time with my family.
I pulled in the driveway and honked my horn, it is a ritual, then I walked inside and no one was to be found. Strange but normal. My stepdad had just gotten out of the shower and wrapped a towel around himself and just hugged me so tightly and then started to cry. Mind you, I have only see him cry 2 times in the 18 years that I have known him. So, I thought that that was a little strange. He was like we have missed you so much and we are so glad that you are home!!!
My mom walks in the door and was like AHHH MALLORY I'm so happy that you are home. Ok, no big deal, she is always excited to see me come home. I love that feeling.
Then...the bad news starts to roll. My mom has been tested for cervical cancer and she is supposed to find out the test results today. My gma had another sezure and so I was kinda shook up about that. Then there was a lot of stuff that happened with my sister which brought tears to my eyes. I just went and sat in my room and cried my eyes out. The three most important women in my life, something has to happen to them. My mom came up to my room and was like what is wrong, I told her that I was just really sad and that I haven't heard any good news since I have been home.
Satan is attacking. He is such a little jerk. He would do this right before I leave for my mission trip to Thailand, which is in 9 days. I won't let him get my focus off of my mission trip. I will not let him.
I spend some quality time with the family in Iowa. It was fun. Caitlin and I painted gma's table BRIGHT festive colors. She also decided to kill all of the flys in Iowa as well.
Had coffee with the gals. T'was fun. Went to a Mary Kay meeting and I have decided that I would love to participate in it but, right now is not my time. I'm having a garage sale on saturday and I hope to make BIG BUCKS!!
Well that is all for now. Love you all dearly.

Then...the bad news starts to roll. My mom has been tested for cervical cancer and she is supposed to find out the test results today. My gma had another sezure and so I was kinda shook up about that. Then there was a lot of stuff that happened with my sister which brought tears to my eyes. I just went and sat in my room and cried my eyes out. The three most important women in my life, something has to happen to them. My mom came up to my room and was like what is wrong, I told her that I was just really sad and that I haven't heard any good news since I have been home.
Satan is attacking. He is such a little jerk. He would do this right before I leave for my mission trip to Thailand, which is in 9 days. I won't let him get my focus off of my mission trip. I will not let him.
I spend some quality time with the family in Iowa. It was fun. Caitlin and I painted gma's table BRIGHT festive colors. She also decided to kill all of the flys in Iowa as well.
Had coffee with the gals. T'was fun. Went to a Mary Kay meeting and I have decided that I would love to participate in it but, right now is not my time. I'm having a garage sale on saturday and I hope to make BIG BUCKS!!
Well that is all for now. Love you all dearly.

Oh the excitement
Saturday was such a fun day!
Jonas and Charissa got married and it was such a beautiful wedding. I haven't figured out how to put pictures up yet but I will.
On the way down to the wedding Melissa and I were talking about being pulled over and such. I was like I um...don't know where my registration is. I sure hope I can find it. Well I didn't find it. So we just chatted about other things.
WELL... on the way back from the wedding...I GET PULLED OVER!!! THE FIRST TIME EVER!! I was like oh crap! I was like "Melissa, should I call my mom?" The very nice looking cop was like oh... don't need your license I was just pulling you over to let you know that the left lane is for passing only. There is no need to drive in it. I was like oh ok. Then he decides to keep talking about Hannibal-LaGrange and why I was down in Lynn Creek. BLAH BLAH BLAH. Well when he left Melissa was like look in the mirror. I was as white as a ghost. Oh deary.
I only have 3 days left of class. How amazing is that then summer REALLY begins! woot woot! I have to turn in my 8-10 page paper and take my final.
I'm so excited for this summer... OH... I'M GOING TO AMERICAN IDOL TOUR CONCERT!! yay!!!

SIGH OF RELIEF...for a while
Well... I'm here in good Hannibal, MO still and let me tell ya... I didn't think that I was going to have so much fun. I'm staying with the Haye's and they are some FUNNY people. I enjoy hanging out with them and they make my stay here worth while.
Class.. Intro to Government.. well that is not so fun. I am paying $4,000 or so to bore myself to pieces for 2.5 hrs a day. I will have to say that my doodling skills and my left handed writing has improved. We have 2 3-4 page papers and 1 8-10 page paper to write oh...and then a final. It is perty easy but not my choice of excitement. I think that watching paint dry would be more fun. Granted I am taking a semester long class in 3 weeks, so that is a plus.
There have been some tough times during May Term, but God is good and He is pulling us through.
I am so excited about my trip to Thailand. I am getting to talk to more and more people from my trip. My project director is from MISSOURI!!! wooo we will be rep'n MO! I can't believe that I leave for Thailand, well Texas but I embark on my journey, 3 weeks from tomorrow!! That seems insaine. I need to do some serious family hang out timeage.
Jenny is in AFRICA. How crazy. I can't believe that one of my best friends is in AFRICA. She will be there for 2 months so if you all could please pray for her, that would be amazing.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm done.

Sicker than a dog
Yesterday was a fun day. I didn't have any finals...well I did have to clean the ceramics room but that was nothing. Went to Dr. Hufty's house and that was a lot of fun. I got bit by plenty of misquitoes.
Midnight breakfast rolls around. I'm still feeling stuffed from eating hot dogs and smores. Well then all of a sudden it turns for the worst. My stomach is doing flips and other stuff is going on. Bah.
I puke at midnight breakfast. Not a fun thing to do. I start drinking sierra mist hoping that that will ease the rumblings. BUT NO. I wake up every hour and spend my quailty time with the toilet. I have never been this sick in my life. So I miss 2 finals today. GREAT!!! I haven't left my apartment yet today but thanks to my amazing friends they went and got me Cherry 7up.
I hate being sick. It is no fun. One of the finals that I missed today, that was my first time missing that class all semester. lol
Well I hope that you aren't too grossed out now. I am going to go lay in my bed again. This is what I have been doing all day.

Gibberish
As the semester winds down, it seems like drama winds up. The more I try to relax, the more it seems as if there is more drama. Boo hiss.
I worked in the nursery today and I had just two little girls to myself. They are precious. I went to eat Mexican food with some friends and that was a lot of fun. I layed outside because God has decided that the weather in Missouri needs to warm up a bit. I now have some color to my skin besides PALE WHITE. I took a little nappy and then went back to church to watch one little girl.
I have one final tomorrow but come on... all I have to do for my final is clean. How easy. Oh and I get to examine my pieces that I have created with my own two hands this semester.
It seems as if this semester has flown by. Probably because I have traveled a lot this semester.
Well that is what is on my mind right now. I'm super bored and there is really nothing else that I want to do....so I think that I will quit rambling now.

All Things New...
I remember I made this about um... a year and a half ago. Well I decided that I would utilize this thing again and tell ya'll about what is going on in my life.
Right now I'm really excited that today was the last day of class for my sophomore year of college!!! Yay! I just have to face finals and then it is May term. I'm not really looking forward to that but I must suffer through Intro to Government.
I am off to Thailand in a short while. I'm leaving June 8th and I'm super excited. I might get to write on this while I'm in Thailand but I'm not sure. I will be in Ireland this summer as well. woot woot.
I'm ready for a break to be away with Jesus.
