Oh joy!

It's raining here. Slow and steady like God's love for us. The wind is knocking the trees about as if trying to blow them over. It's a good thing my roots are deep in Jesus or I might be blown over by the winds of change. The elecricity flickerd and went out. As we all be bemoaned the fact that our wood stove is broken and we would need heat soon it surprised us and came back on. Thanks God. Sometimes our faith seems to flicker and go out when we need it the most. I have been slowly learning (learning to believe and trust) that our strength is not our own, which explains why the Bible says in our weakness he is strong. I hate change. Well, most of the time. But I know that He wouldn't send anything my way that I counld not handle, with his help of course.

I hate change too. Remember how stressed I was about coming to school over the summer? Well, now I'm here and I can't imagine being anywhere else! Change is hard, but God sees us through it. In the end, we are thankful for it. Hang in there! This season will soon pass. :) Love you!

I'm truly done with college, but I will keep going for another 6 years or so, for in the end my ability to serve God will have increased not only because of my degrees, but mostly because of the character that shall be built. I firmly believe that this will be my last year to have to worry about finances, so hopefully this college thing will only be as hard as the classes themselves.

Walking Pneumonia, once more I suppose will not harm, but I hope to be better soon.......sooo tired,

I must go now, I'm going to sleep till my laundry gets done, pray for me, not a friend in the phone book was loyal this lonely evening, save one who is too bogged down with much of the same to be able to give me her time.

I'll come write a possitive comment after a good nights sleep.

I'm doing much better attitude wise, but I'm still ill with walking pneumonia, so I must sleep now.
