Yeah,I really have no idea what that title means,but it's a good reflection of what's going on with me.I just don't know.I'm up,I'm down...it just depends on the day I am having.I am continually reminded that God's mercies are new every morning and believe me,that's no small thing.

Today has been a great day so far.I slept in a little,got ready,and headed to Solomon's to read.I didn't get as much done as I would have liked,but I got enough done not to be TOO stressed out,although the stress remains.Jason was working and we lamented together over the fact that it's as if our professors are too focused on academics.God is doing ( Read more... )

So aside from reading,reading,and reading some more, other life stuff has continued to go on.Friday night,me and the gang-or part of it atleast-ended up at the coffee bar in Hamburg again.Maggie,Ryan,and I had a great conversation about emotions and the role they play.It's something I have thought about a lot ever since high school.I once was told ( Read more... )

I'm convinced more and more each day that God manifests Himself in my friends as a way to reach out to me-to wipe away the tears that need to be wiped away,to give me the hug I need,and to make me smile when I need to smile.So,thank you to all my friends who care enough to laugh with me,hold me when I cry,talk to me when I need to talk,and who just ( Read more... )
