White Christmas

We had a bit of a blizard in Kansas yesterday. It finally stopped snowing and blowing and I went out to see how deep it really was. We started the digging out process and my back hurts from all the shoveling. Fun times!

it's Christmas time in the city

Decorating the tree!! We ran out of working white lights for the tree close to the top; Rene and I had to go on a mission to find more and were able to recover the last box of plain white Christmas lights (of the more than 20 per strand variety) in all of Wal-Mart. YaY for adventures! ^_^

done, done, done, Done, DONE

I am officially done with the fall semester of my Sophomore year at LeTouneau University. I am SO ready to be DONE! Praise the Lord I'm still alive. It's really been a killer semester, but God is so good. I really think it's impossible for us to comprhend His awesome goodness. Now, I can go home and SLEEP! Yay.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,

My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear;

Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident.

4 One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple.

5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;

In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.

6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,

And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice,

And be gracious to me and answer me.

8 When You said, " Seek My face," my heart said to You,

"Your face, O LORD, I shall seek."

9 Do not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not abandon me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation!

10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,

But the LORD will take me up.

11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,

And lead me in a level path Because of my foes.

12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,

For false witnesses have risen against me,

And such as breathe out violence.

13 I would have despaired

unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD

In the land of the living.

14 Wait for the LORD;

Be strong and let your heart take courage;

Yes, wait for the LORD

Ok, so kind of long, but God deseves a lot of praise for how He's held me this semester!

Merry Chrismas All!!!
