Mikel is the bestest!!!

Last night, Mikel came home a little late. I was wondering why he hadn't got off work yet and what was taking him so long... Then I heard a knock at the door. I opened it and there he was standing there with 18 pink roses. I was so surprised. He is the best husband in the whole world!!!! I love him so much!!!

Cooking: Lasagna :)

Tonight, I decided to make Lasagna for dinner. It was my first time making it. I asked my mom for the ingredients and then just winged it. It think it turned out great. I couldn't get it to come out of the pan looking all great, but boy did it taste good!!! My husband said it tasted great as well. :) The only problems is that I made WAY too much lasagna for two people. LOL!

Ingredients: I forgot to include the spices and crushed tomatoes in the picture.

1.What is something that bothers you if it's not done perfectly?

Hmm, cooking a meal. I hate it when something gets messed up when I make a meal.

2. Do you think a 6th sense exists? Explain.
No. But I do believe that God can tell people things so they know what is happening.

3. Do you say your goodbyes slowly, quickly, or not at all?
Slowly.

4. On a scale of 1-10, with ten being hot hot hot, what level of spice do you like in your food? What's your favorite 'spicy' dish?
I like 6-8… I don’t like it so hot that all you can taste is the hotness and nothing else. I really like anything Mexican…

Bada b aba ba Im loving it.

6. Plane, train, boat or auto...your preferred method of travel?

~Random~-school, plants, etc.

School:
I am getting used to school again. I think I might finally have everything set up and understand everything. Guess what? The teacher I was complaining about yesterday, who didn't have a schedule, well, she sent an email saying that a schedule would be posted tomorrow. YAY!! :-) I start field experience on Tuesday. I will be going to field experience every Tuesday and Thursday for the next 12 weeks. I am really excited about that! I will be working with a special ed teacher. I am going to write on here next Tuesday about my field experience, leaving out names of course.

Plants:
In June I planted pepper plant seeds. This is what they look like now:

I now need to transplant them into a bigger pot. So I will be working on that soon. :-D I cant wait to have bell peppers that I grew on my own. :-) I also have planted potatoes... I am not sure how that is going. So far no green. :( But it takes a little while.

Pets:
Midnight injured his leg or hip and is limping around the house. :-( He's pitiful! Cocoa is being her usual crazy self! She keeps on whining at the door because she likes to be outside, but it is 113 degrees out there. I only take her out when I have to.

Mikel:
Mikel's back isn't doing too good. They are doing electric shock therapy and he comes home in a lot of pain. The past few mornings he has woken up in a lot of pain. :-( Sunday we had to leave church early due to his back pain. He applies for the new job on 25th. :-) They have 6 weeks to tell us if he got it and if he did we were told we will probably be moving in 6 months. Which could be a good thing or a bad thing... depending on where we move to. I am really hoping in the end we will be stationed in FL.

Reading:
I am reading a chapter in proverbs everyday.
I just finished reading "Emmanuel's Veins" by Ted Dekker. I really liked the book! If i have time this semester I am going to read another Ted Dekker book called "Burn".

Hear it on Sunday, Use it on Monday: Psalm 22

This week in Sunday school we learned about Psalm 22.

Psalm 22^[a]

    For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David. ¹ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
   Why are you so far from saving me,
   so far from my cries of anguish?
² My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
   by night, but I find no rest.^[b]
³ Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
   you are the one Israel praises.^[c]
⁴ In you our ancestors put their trust;
   they trusted and you delivered them.
⁵ To you they cried out and were saved;
   in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
⁶ But I am a worm and not a man,
   scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
⁷ All who see me mock me;
   they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
⁸ “He trusts in the LORD,” they say,
   “let the LORD rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
   since he delights in him.”
⁹ Yet you brought me out of the womb;
   you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
¹⁰ From birth I was cast on you;
   from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
¹¹ Do not be far from me,
   for trouble is near
   and there is no one to help.
¹² Many bulls surround me;
   strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
¹³ Roaring lions that tear their prey
   open their mouths wide against me.
¹⁴ I am poured out like water,
   and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
   it has melted within me.
¹⁵ My mouth^[d] is dried up like a potsherd,
   and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
   you lay me in the dust of death.
¹⁶ Dogs surround me,
   a pack of villains encircles me;
   they pierce^[e] my hands and my feet.
¹⁷ All my bones are on display;
   people stare and gloat over me.
¹⁸ They divide my clothes among them
   and cast lots for my garment.
¹⁹ But you, LORD, do not be far from me.
   You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
²⁰ Deliver me from the sword,
   my precious life from the power of the dogs.
²¹ Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
   save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
²² I will declare your name to my people;
   in the assembly I will praise you.
²³ You who fear the LORD, praise him!
   All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
   Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
²⁴ For he has not despised or scorned
   the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
   but has listened to his cry for help.
²⁵ From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
   before those who fear you^[f] I will fulfill my vows.
²⁶ The poor will eat and be satisfied;
   those who seek the LORD will praise him—
   may your hearts live forever!
²⁷ All the ends of the earth
   will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
   will bow down before him,
²⁸ for dominion belongs to the LORD
   and he rules over the nations.
²⁹ All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
   all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
   those who cannot keep themselves alive.
³⁰ Posterity will serve him;
   future generations will be told about the Lord.
³¹ They will proclaim his righteousness,
   declaring to a people yet unborn:
   He has done it!

We learned about this psalm and how many of the verses literally describe what would happen to Jesus years later. I dont remember ever correlating this passage with Jesus' death. So this was kind of eye opening to me. I dont know why I missed it. Its amazing how I can read the same passage every day for weeks and then a week later read it again and learn something new.

^{Ps. 22:18} They divide my clothes among them
   and cast lots for my garment.
^{Ps. 22:15} My mouth^[d] is dried up like a potsherd,
   and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
   you lay me in the dust of death.

Luke 23:34

New International Version (NIV)

³⁴ Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”^[a] And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Matthew 27:33-36

New International Version (NIV)

³³ They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). ³⁴ There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. ³⁵ When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. ³⁶ And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

ps. 22: ¹ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?

Matthew 27:46-51

New International Version (NIV)

⁴⁶ About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,^[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).^[b]
⁴⁷ When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. ⁴⁹ The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
⁵⁰ And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
⁵¹ At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split
John 19:23-24

²³ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.^[c] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, ²⁴so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,

    "They divided my garments among them,
   and for my clothing they cast lots."

   So the soldiers did these things,

John 19:28-30

²⁸After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said ( to fulfill the Scripture), "I thirst." ²⁹A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. ³⁰When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

School Started... :(

Well, today officially, school started for me. One of my classes requires that I volunteer doing something teacher related.. yay me! Something else to do besides working in the classroom 10hrs a week, homework and anything i need to do. At least its only 10hrs. So hopefully that wont be too bad. One of my professors is not providing a course schedule. Which really bugs me. I mean how am I supposed to plan time to do homework for that class if I don't even know what the assignments are or when they are due? I don't mind if they don't tell me the instructions for the projects right now, I would just like to know if I have to write 5 papers in one week, that i have to do so... Is that too much to ask? This is the 2nd time I have had a teacher who doesn't believe in schedules. :(

Anyway, on a nicer note. Over the weekend I got the apartment clean. So that is very nice. :) At least my apartment is clean, even though my classes are a little confusing right now.

I think I finally have everything organized in my school notebook.

I print all the syllabuses and schedules and put them all in a notebook and also I print a calender of the semester and then take the schedules and put every assignment for every class on it. This way I can tell which weeks have more work in comparison to

others.

The last two semesters this worked great. :) So I plan on continuing it.

School

Well, classes start tomorrow... So I will begin being busy. I finally got placement at a school 15min away from here. I will be working with an special education teacher. I have to get in 100hrs so this is going to be fun. I will have lots of homework as well. I really don't know how much... but I am pretty sure I will have to create 15 lesson plans as well as do many other assignment. :/ So, I'm going to be busy which may mean less blog posts... I'm not sure though... I might blog to avoid homework. lol!!!
Anyway, I guess thats all I am going to write....

Cooking :)

Tonight for dinner I made chicken and rice covered in Italian dressing, garlic cheddar biscuits and broccoli melody, lots of broccoli melody. It turned out pretty good I have a before and after picture of the chicken and rice. The only thing I would have changed is when I put the Italian dressing on the chicken. I think I should have waited till it was almost done then added it. Oh well too late now. LOL! It turned out really good anyway. Earlier this week, for the first time, I made chicken Parmesan. It came out really good as well. I will be adding pictures of that meal on here too.
