herro from nicore.

hey everyone! i miss you all!!
right now i'm sitting in my dining room, eating dinner, and listening to viva la vida.
viva la vida reminds me of abby, which reminds me of all you guys, and so i thought maybe i'd come say hi to everyone and update you all on what i've been up to.
mostly...just working.
which is fine with me since i'm currently at a financial deficit. not working for 3 months really does it to your bank account i guess...
besides that i've just been hangin out with my friends. it was hard to be home at first, in an environment where everyone didn't have the same common goals and priorities. but it was really cool to work through that with God and see where He has me and where He has my friends and how we're all in different places of growth for a reason. my room mates were defintely under attack from the enemy, and he was certainly succeeding at dividing them. but we've all begun to unite in our Savior and really come together and learn a ton from eachother through prayer and Bible study.
it was really great to get back into jr high ministry as i was hungry for some kind of ministry work since coming back. it's quite the jump, going from working with college students to jr highers. haha. they are wild, obnoxious, crazy, hilarious, and so much fun. i turned down a second year of internship with the ministry which was unexpectedly, a crazy hard decision. but i know with the classes i'm taking i'd be fooling myself if i said i'd be able to give 100% to both school and interning.
umm...what else?
i love watching the olympics. can you believe michael phelps? daaaaang boiiiiiii.
i'm reading changes that heal - good book.
i think about you all a lot! and randomly remember funny moments and laugh to myself.
i can not wait for reunion!!!!!!!!!!!
i love you all.
blessings,
nicole
