Hi yall.
I haven't been updating for a while because the anti virus program on my computer ended (even though I had already paid for it). I'm waiting for HP to get back to me. So far their customer service has been nonexistent. How is life? Anyway I just finished my last final. I am soooooo relieved that this semester is over. I have been stretched really far physically, emotionally, and spiritually (but that last part has been my fault because I've been lacking in the discipline area).
I went through a bout with bronchitus, pneumonia, and pink eye.... plus lack of sleep.
Muffin died. I spent a while fussing and worrying over her and wondering why. At least she wasn't in any pain. The vet says it was a blood disease that she must have had since birth. I'm still grieving. (Thank God for his neverending love and peace that passes all understanding....)
I had a class this semester called religions of the world. The whole time... I felt so wierd. I can't really explain it... but whenever I left that class I would feel kind of sad. Just that so many people in this world are decieved. And so many don't know Him. One guy who said he was agnostic said that everything he learned in this class just reinforced everything he already knew about life. I said, "Me too." Then he said, "But you're a Christian, right?" And I said, "Yeah, but all this other stuff really makes me know what's really significant about what I believe." Thats alot in one sentence. I don't even understand it. What I basically said was that learning about the other religions really made me comprehend whats really going on in the world and makes my faith stronger because I have an intimate relationship with the God who made it.
Whew.
Anyway I had another class where the professor liked to cuss all the time and degrade anything related to Christianity in his lectures. I tried not to take it personally.... Most off the time I just winced inwardly. You know... its pretty degrading when someone says that the United States is a ---(female dog)--- to Israel. Soooo that class is over. That's the exam I just took this morning. I reaaly don't think I did that great. I studied really hard too. My mind just went COMPLETELY BLANK. Wonderful.
I am so glad its Christmas. Just curious... does anyone else get really ticked when you hear and read people calling stuff... "holiday trees" and "happy holiday". I saw on the news that some elementary school even told parents not to bring red and green sprinkles on the cupcakes because it was not a Christmas party but a "WINTER" party. Boy, don't you love the mass media.
Sooooo everyone have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!!!
I can't wait to talk to all of youse guys.... One thing this semester God has really taught me is that I can't take fellowship with other Christians for granted. Boy, you guys mean a lot to me.... and you know who you are.
And...... just to tag everything....... in case you are reading this and have NO idea who I am...... Merry Christmas to you too. And God Bless! |
