to my loyal fans ...all 2 of you

guess who just joined myspace?  yup.  I gave in.  So since I barely keep up with xanga now, you can probably bet it will be even harder now that I'll be blogging on my space.  So go visit there! www.myspace.com/sweetmb26  

This isn't goodbye for good though....im sure ill sneak in entries here and there.... ya know.. like twice a year...that kinda thing

whats new

So I'm feeling tempted to enter into the My Space world.  But I'm going to try and not succumb to the pressure.  I've been strong thus far! 

Anyhoo.. I graduated last weekend!! It was a great time of celebrating with friends and family.  But I must say that the thought of grad school in a few more weeks is decreasing my enthusiasm.  I know the year will go by quick though and then I'll have a masters, which may or may not mean anything careerwise. But I still feel this is where God is moving me right now.

Guess who's birthday was yesterday..... my babydo's!!! The big 25! ...hehe...   I went down to VA this past week and we did some birthday celebrating down there yesterday for Scott's birthday.  It was a fun time of cake, cards, frisbee, softball, soccer, water, chips, the dew, capote (ehh.not so fun), darts, and the office.     Most of all, it was great to be with my baby on his birthday! 

Oh ....and guess what I got as a graduation gift from him!   ..... you have to guess first.    okay ..ill tell you.... a Day Spa gift certificate for a back massage, pedicure, facial, and lunch!!  He got it for his mom too for mothers day..so we both went on Thursday..and it was fabulous!!  I've never had a pedicure or a facial before either.  I felt like such a princess.....thank you again sweetie!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow I head back to work for the week.  Right now, I'm waiting for my dad to get back so we can have dinner for Mother's Day.  By the way, my mom is doing well.  She finished her second to last round of chemo this morning and only has one more round left in June.  We look forward to the summer when there won't be anymore treatments she'll have to do and she'll get all her energy back.  Keep praying!

AND in even more exciting news...    please pray for Scott about moving back to PA.   I know I would be thrilled about having him close by.. but we just want it to be God's will.  I pray God would continue to give us clarity and peace about it.... and for the potential employment at a particular company in PA. 

I suppose that be all for now..... until another month goes by

asleep in God's will

wow.. ok so I just wrote like this novel on here and it got deleted before I could save it.  wierd.  Anyhoo.. I was writing about graduating next Saturday!  The time has finally arrived.  I was reminiscing a little bit earlier today about life and the classes I've had at PBU.  I was also reflecting on the fact that God brought me through it all and I know will take me into the future. 

My roommate was reading a quote from Elizabeth Elliot's book Shadow of the Almighty last night about being "asleep in God's will."  The context was Genesis when God put Adam to sleep while He created Eve out of Adam's ribs.  Adam was not awake anticipating, worrying, or anxious...instead, he was resting.  I want to be the same way.  I want to put my fears and worries down and just rest in what God is doing whether I can or cannot see it at this time.  I pray He will help me to do that. 

One thing I can be certain of after thinking about my years at PBU and my life as a whole is that God never left me alone.  He has taken me through great times of joy as well as times of heartache.  All of it has shaped me, and I'm so thankful for that.  I can only rest in the knowledge that He will continue to do the same with nothing but love for me. 

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, offer your thanksgiving to God....and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:6

"Be still and know that I am God."  Psalm 46:10

just wanted to share that....
