| Hello overybody-- I know I haven't been on in a really really long time.....life has been crazy with student teaching and finishing up college and all. I did graduate, after 5 years, and am looking forward to what God has in store for me. On a much sadder note..... Could you please pray for my family? We had just started our vacation last Thursday when we recieved a call from my Uncle. Long story short, my cousin Anna passed away suddnely and very unexpectedly at the age of about 32. She was an epileptic, but we don't know exactly what was the cause of her death. She had only been married to 8 years to her husband John, and he is just distraught from her death--esp. cuz he was the one who found her. My mom, sister, and I will be traveling with our Uncles and assorted cousins down to Oklahoma on thursday. Please pray for our safety, as well as ease of making travel arrangements, and that we can be a good support for John and his family, as well as for each other. Thanks so much. Take care and God bless. | | |

| "Because he loves me," says the Lord, " I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Psalm 91:14-16 | | |
| I love listening to the rain falling outside my window....it's just a gentle rain... God is good, even if life circumstances are less than desirable. I'll be honest, I am really wrestling with this one scripture passage-- Philippians 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I am having a really hard time being content in this circumstance. I want to be able to find my key and ID--even after tearing the room apart, I have not found them yet. I am not content with the idea of paying the huge fines I will have to pay if I dont' find my key. Lord, give me peace in my heart. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Lord, help me to be content knowing that you are in control and will provide. Lord, help me with my unbelief. You are big enough to handle all of my problems and mistakes, even those of losing my keys and ID.
...As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

| The big highlight of today was hanging out with Chrystal and Jen and going out for dinner in Janesville. I love those two--Their friendship is such a blessing to me. Today I lost my dorm keys and my school ID. I have searched high and low in the dorm room, and have been unsucessful in trying to find them, unlike the lady in the parable of the lost coin in Luke 15. I think I need to put a GIS tracker on them or something. It makes me sick when i think about how much it's going to cost to replace both if i can't find them. ($25 for the ID alone, $50 for the room key, and I don't know if they'd have to change the lock, which could be an additional $150 if i am reading that right.) Seriously, if i think about it anymore I may just cry. It is amazing how the absence of something so small and insignificant can rock your world and make you feel so insecure and helpless. I want my mom.
I want my easy chair back in the dorm room.
I want a big hug and someone to tell me things will be all right. In the absence of all three, I am trying to comfort myself with warm milk, a homemade sugar cookie, maybe a good book and a for sure re-reading of Luke 15. | | |
