| I started a new journal Thursday night.
It is made of beautiful leather.
Heather got it for me in Australia.
I have been waiting to use it since Christmas...
I love new journals because it almost feels like a new beginning.
and my life was definietly due of a new beginning.
a season of my life in those old pages needed to end
So I finished the journal before it's time
and just wrote on fresh pages last night. The first page I wrote this account from The Last Battle by CS Lewis:
"'Then he breathed upon me and took away the trembling from my limbs and caused me to stand upon my feet. And after that, he said not much but that we should meet again, and I must go further up and further in. Then he turned him about in a storm and flurry of gold and was gone suddenly.
'And since then, O Kings and Ladies, I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved...'" - Emeth the Tarkaan FURTHER UP AND FURTHER IN I know I have talked about it before to my girls, but this phrase has been my heartbeat. MaLeah and I had a really good conversation about enduring this past week and we have been encouraged by both of our parents to always finish strong as we have grown older. Further up and further in until Heaven's Gate and Christ's arms I meet. I long for Him so badly that sometimes the happiness and joy which comes does almost seem like a weakening wound. So I encourage/exhort you all to take heart, start anew for each day is new, long for your Lord, and continue on. |

| My beautiful ladies have been telling me to update...
and they're right (as they usually are) It's just that:
1 - I love that Keith Green quote so much
2 - It was a little difficult to write so that the whole world could see
this spring semester because of what the Lord was doing in my life
3 - Facebook seems to be taking over the world (lame).
But reguardless...
Here it is, an update.
And there is more to come. Girls: I miss you.
Lord: I love you.
Texas: Treat Dave Hasz well.
FBI: You are beautiful people.
Church: The Lord is returning.
The Nations: Look up.
Summertime: Bring it.
Homework: Be gone.
Until next time...
love* |

I want to have skin like a baby around my heart."
---Keith Green Minneapolis Acquire the Fire was amazing.
Thank you Ministry Team for all of your hard work.
It was such a blessing to be with all of you.

Thank you Jesus for working on my heart these last two or three weeks.
Keith Green's words echo my prayers.

| There have been very few days were I don't want to go out and do anything because of the weather. And yesterday was one of them because it was -11 degrees with the windchill of -32. Yet I was wearing flip flops for most of the day (praise the Lord for skyways at NCU). Sometimes I wonder why I ever left Texas. |

| Today I woke up and made coffee - the espresso blend from Starbucks.
While I was walking outside eating my green apple after lunch I slid across some ice and then hopped over a puddle of water and successfully dodged traffic.
I sang Josh Groban "You Raise Me Up" all the way back to my room after class. that's a good sign that it's a good day.
praise the Lord. joy : at : all : times : anyways.
enough about me. look at some of the girls of
Never Exist
Reclaimation and
Radiance
