Received a Blessing!

I received my scholarship award letters today! I only owe $700 for tuition this semester!! PRAISE THE LORD for His provision! I am literally in tears. $700?! Astounding! Thank you to the benefactors of SEBTS for your generous contributions to the seminary and thank you to the scholarship review team for selecting me!

In light of this news...this is how I feel:

Seminary Scholarship!

Going to Seminary is expensive. On top of that, finding a scholarship can be really difficult. That's why I was so excited to find this <a href="http://www.seminaryscholarship.com">Seminary Scholarship</a> website today. Not only are they giving away a $1,000.00 scholarship and a digital theological library, all I had to do to apply was watch a short video and answer a few questions! It took less than 15 minutes. What is best of all is that if you're in seminary and apply for the <a href="http://www.seminaryscholarship.com">Seminary Scholarship</a>, and put my name as the person who referred you, if you win the scholarship, so do I! <strong>We could both get a $1,000.00 scholarship and digital theological library.</strong> So, do us both a favor and go apply for the <a href="http://www.seminaryscholarship.com">Seminary Scholarship</a> today.


If you enter, please put my name (Rebekah Stoneking) in the "other" section. The winner AND the person who referred him/her will both receive the scholarship!

WooHoo!!

December Snow Day #2!!! And they told me it never snowed in Wake Forest... ;)

Wordless Wednesday

Serendipity

To make Saturday (aka Snow Day) even BETTER, a group of us went out to have steaks for dinner and then we went ice skating. As soon as Roomie and I heard that there would be an outdoor rink in downtown Raleigh, we had day dreamed about going. Saturday was also the tree lighting downtown and luckily, the guys were up for participating in the holiday cheer. Here are some pics from our magical evening on ice! (*sorry for the quality. My camera decided to be a jerk so these were taken on Kacie's phone)

Me, Scott, and Evan

Me and Kacie's obligatory roomie shot. Cute, cute!

 Kacie's fave pic of Scott and I

 And here's one of me and Scott skating :)

High-five, Raleigh, for being awesome in the wintertime!

First Snow of the Holiday Season!

It started to snow at about 3:00 this afternoon. It came down lightly at first, but it's pouring now!

Scott enjoying his first NC snowfall. He was trying to be "manly" in this pic HAHA (*edit: We had both been jumping and frolicking minutes before this pic. Appropriate for me, not so much for him.)

And here's some of the other boys from our building. 

All of these pics are from the very first part of the snowfall. I ran inside to get some warmer clothes and left my camera on the couch. I'll post more pics later--EVERYTHING is white, just an hour later! This Georgia Peach is happy today!!

I'm a Terrible Blogger!

I apologize for being so slack, lately. Thanksgiving, a ruptured eardrum, and getting ready for finals'll do that to a girl.


In other news, I made a gingerbread house!

Here is a front view

And a rear/side view

Making this was quite an adventure. I thought, "How hard can it be to make gingerbread?" (for the record: it's not hard to make gingerbread. What IS hard is making sure that the pieces you cut do not shrink...aka...making sure they still all fit together after baking). Whatevsies. I'm resourceful. I re-cut the baked pieces and made two bowls of royal icing and got to work. I made my two main "levels" of the house, and when I stacked them...the whole thing collapsed and wound up in the trash. C'est la vie. 


Next year, illusive homemade gingerbread house. Next. Year. As for now, this beaut' from a kit will be my submission into the SEBTS Gingerbread-House-for-Rent-Credit-Competition. If you're a student housing rez here at the seminary, GO VOTE FOR MEEEE!
