I haven't updated in months... probably because I no longer use xanga for personal use.. but I do read it to keep up on all of your lives. Life this semester has been interesting.. so many things going on, both good and the occassional not so good.

In a nutshell my semester has included......... running a marathon (26.2 miles...), being sick...really sick (4 times), having my car stolen, beginning to date an amazing man, working 36 hours a week, taking 18 units, having my car broken into again, developing some incredible relationships with people, having my bank account broken in to, and learning to enjoy the beauty of living....oh and not sleeping...sleep is very few and far between....

I would love to write more, but it is now 2am and I have 3 tests tomorrow.

Take care everyone and please do drop me a note...

Love,

Vanea

To be hurt oneself is difficult enough,

but to experience that hurt

and then see someone else you love experience it,

can be the most painful incident of them all.

So, it's been a while, hasn't it.

Disneyland was amazing. Bryce bought us autograph books and it was soo fun! Got the fun pictures with the disney princesses! Woot! Oh and yes, the teacups were amazing, as always!!!! *pleased*

Life has been really good lately. Finally, pieces seem to be falling together.... things don't instantly get better or go away, but God has been there to pick up those pieces and put them back together in a way that has only made me stronger.

There are so many things still to mend, but I have faith... for the first time in a long time, I know that everything is going to be OK. I still think about life's outcomes, but I'm not scared... I'm not worried about what is going to come next... but I'm learning to live for each today and to be satisfied with that.

Today was nice.. tomorrow, who knows?! But I'm not worried....

God is good, all the time.

Last night we had our first 911 Chapel of the semester (late night, incredible APU chapel) .... It was amazing. Our new associate campus pastor, Jamie, spoke along with Woody and just touched so many lives. It was about confessional conversations..... confessing to God the lies that you've been living with... confessing things to others... etc. I have never felt so glued to one place before.... as if God didn't want me to move. I couldn't stand up when it was over.... I just felt this peace, as if this is where I belonged and this is what God finally was waiting for me to do. I was convicted of so many things.... and I just saw how many others were as well. It was one of those "Ah HA" moments.
