| ...it's amazing how time flies so fast. it seems like just yesterday i was pulling into etbu in my parents' truck to start the 2006 fall semester. i feel like crying and rejoicing at the same time. thanksgiving break was wonderful. justin and i went home (to my house) and spent the holiday with my family. we got lost in the woods with my two cousins, two dogs, and 6-year-old sister, but my family pulled through and got us out of there. it was great. this semester has been a trying one. i've battled homesickness constantly. my spiritual life has been going up and down. but all in all, i have been blessed. God has gotten me through this semester, even though i didn't think i would make it. he has kept me at etbu, even at times when i desperately wanted to transfer. he has given me a friend to rely on, even when i feel like i have no friends. i am blessed. it's great knowing that christmas break is just around the corner, and i'll be so busy up until then that time will fly right by. i hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving. i love you all. ____________________________________________________________________________________ | | |
| bad news, good news.bad news: i have stitches in my finger. good news: the stitches come out this weekend, which happens to be fall break!! yay! i'm flippin' excited about going home for fall break. it's funny because i've been really homesick this semester, and i have no clue why. maybe it's because i'm really starting to understand the value of family. other good news: i am co-leading worship in chapel tomorrow, and i have a job interview tomorrow afternoon! it's so amazing how God blesses you when you least expect it. p.s. i have an amazing friend--you know who you are. until i post again...

| i am blessed.Well, I haven't updated in a while. I have some good news. I have been praying for something really important recently that God has totally answered. It's funny because I expected it to be one of those prayers that doesn't get answered for a while. But that's what's so awesome about God: he does things in his own time! I don't think I've been this excited about something for a while. Rejoice in the Lord for he is good! As for other things in my life...not much is happening. School has gotten pretty hard, but I'm making it. Flag football started yesterday, so I went out to the field to cheer on our guys.  An old friend is getting married this weekend, and I'm ecstatic about going. My sister turned 6 today! She has grown way too quickly. It's sad because sometimes I can hardly remember the days when she was really little.  Oh well. I guess that's all I've got for right now. Until next time... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him."

| friend: definedfriend: - A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
- A person whom one knows; an acquaintance.
- A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
- One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement
I was looking up the definition of friend earlier, and this is what I got. It's so interesting to think that I am a friend of God and that all of these attributes pertain to my relationship with him. I know, like, and trust Him. He is right beside me through all my struggles. He supports me. I love God.

| thoughts.i never ever would have considered myself to be the depressed type, but it's pretty incredible how much you learn about yourself once you get to college. don't get me wrong: i'm not a depressed psychopath or anything. i've just been depressed more often than usual the past week or two. the worst part is that i'm not sure why...
