Psalm 30:1-5

I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.
Sing praise too the Lord, you His godly ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.
For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

There is a light...

It's Wednesday... Wednesday... almost there. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: anything that gets done this week is all God's doing. On Sunday, I did not even have enough energy to stand in Church during worship. Since then I have taken three tests; I got an A on one, and I believe I got As on the other two. I'm also nearly done with all of my duties for ACL. Miracles, I tell you; I had nothing to do with it. I'm believing God for a few more miracles this week and next... Just wanted to give Jesus a little praise. Yay for Jesus.

When is this school going to stop winding me up and let me start unwinding. I think I might explode.

Two Weeks...

It's so hard to believe....we have a little more than two weeks before we have to travel back to the other world, commonly known as home. Yes, my home is geographically more beautiful than Longview, Texas, however, I rather like living here with all my new found friends and family. Readjusting will be an interesting challenge. When I left home in August I had still not readjusted from being in Swaziland; going back now will be even more odd...
I know I've changed. I also know my family has changed without me. My family and I have finally begun to diverge paths, but they still expect me to be just like I was before. If anyone is reading this I ask that you might take a minute sometime today (whatever day it is when you read this) to pray for all the college students and their changed relationships with those back home, wherever that is for them.
