I'M DONE!!!!
That about says it. I just finished my last college paper ever. No more exams. No more quizzes. No more reading unless I want to read it. WOOHOO!! Now comes packing and getting stuff ready for Christmas break. And then I start at Hope Haven on the 22nd of next month. For those of you still in college...it IS possible. :)

No more box for Josh...
So I'm not going to be living out of a cardboard box in front of Pella Windows! No! I've got a place to live!! I'm pretty excited about that fact (if you couldn't tell). I'm going to be moving into a basement apartment in Sioux Center with another guy also named Josh. Yay for roomies with the same name! If you want my new address, shoot me an email, k? (or i guess you could leave a comment on my blog). I'm moving into the place after choir tour in January. Sweetness. Okay, back to procrastinating...I mean studying...I mean...um...yeah.

Lifetime Achievements
Meet my Grandma. Granny B.
She is fabulous (and cooks a mean Sunday lunch).
Today, she is celebrating something that I think we all we all hope to see someday.
Eighty years.
That's right.
80.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!!
Official
Well, it's official. Today was my last Dordt class. Ever.
AND...
...As of January 21, I will be employed full-time at the Niessink Home where I've been doing my Psychology internship all semester. I've been working with 8 teenage boys who have mental and behavioral problems of different kinds...and now I'll be doing that on a full-time scale!! I'm so excited to be working with them! They're all talented and smart in different ways, and to work with them more frequently will be such a joy (especially when I don't have to go home and worry about school or homework)!
AND...
...I've also found a (possible) apartment to live in!! I'm still waiting and praying about it this week, but the more I think about it, the more I'm getting excited to say I'll take it! I'll give you guys more details if it becomes finalized.
Yeah, so God has provided again! It's so good to know that he's watching out for me...although I do feel selfish sometimes when I just pray for myself so that I know what to do. But God tells us to bring everything before Him in prayer. "You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures" (James 4:2-3). So we shouldn't use that verse to get whatever we want, but we should be motivated to come to God in prayer and try more and more every day to "test and approve what God's will is. His good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)
