| Something new...sort of...Something new for your eyes to look at on my xanga, but probably not something new to you all together. "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 I have GOT TO remember this - at all times... | | |
| I know, I know...It has been far too long again since I have posted and I am hearing it from the usuals so here I am again. I really am going to try to be better about posting...No - really!
The past few weeks have been busy and tiring, but amazing. God is working in a strong way in me and although it isn't always clear what He is doing, I know He is there and changing me. I am grateful. And even though it means change, I am at peace. I have seen friends, worked at camp, survived another week of VBS and done some amazing ministry with some great people that I see far too little. To all of you (and of course you know who you are) thank you for your ministry. You are wonderful and I pray that God blesses you for your hearts and your willingness to serve Him!
Currently, I am in Kalkaska prepping for another year at Northwomen. Sarah Monette and I are leading worship this year. I have eagerly been awaiting this week. It is a nice and much-needed refresher. Please pray that Sarah and I are up to the task and that all goes well, but most importantly - that people are blessed this week. After that I am off to Jon and Nicole's wedding. Please pray for all involved there as well.
God is good. When I am fine - God is good. When I am tired - God is good. When I am strong - God is good. When I am lonely or surrounded with friends - God is good. And when I am confused or clear-minded - God is good. He continues to remain faithful, loving, and caring despite of what I am at any given moment. For that, I am grateful. God is showing me that He is constant when I am not; that He understands when I do not. He can do it when I can not. And despite all of my "nots", He rejoices over me with singing....
Zephaniah 3:17:
"The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing." | | |
| It's Been a Long TimeAnd now that you all (or the few of you that are truly cool) are humming/singing the Rod Stewart song that is in your head, it's time for some news!
I finally, after living here for about 10 months, have tapped into the wireless internet connection that is being provided by part of my lovely church family (The Kindig's over at Computer MD). I have the internet at home. Tonight was like college all over again. I hit email, I hit facebook, I am now hitting xanga and getting absolutely no work done in the process. It's amazing what kind of procrastinator the internet makes you.
It ain't sexy - but it's somethin'...
Anyway -- I hope that you all are doing well. I have updated and now so shall you. Let me know what's goin on with you. I know that you are reading this because my footprints (look to your left for the technologically impaired) tell me so. So post a comment. Do it. Now :) | | |
| A New YearI hope that you all had a great start to your new year. I hope that you are all safe and sound. I plan on posting my latest church newsletter article soon. It has plenty of talk of the new year. Until then though... If you all could pray for a professor at Great Lakes, Kendi Howells-Douglas. Her and her family were traveling back to Lansing after the holidays and were involved in a severe accident. Her husband is ok, but she was kept over night for observation and her son is in critical care. They could use your prayers. I will update on them as I receive more information. Thank you for your prayers. | | |
| An Update of SortsI am doing a lot of wrestling right now...which I think is good. I am finding, however (albeit again), that even though the wrestling is good it is tiring. Being tired, at times, is good also. The struggle should be loved as much as the goal or the outcome, but sometimes it's hard to keep that in mind. Today is one of those days. "Well, when I forget, something usually comes along and reminds me." | | |
