| Ok.
Life has been moving steadily on by. I seem to lose track of time. I felt as though i was not lacking in time to then realize how much it's catching up to me. I get married in just over six months. *laughs* how crazy is that? I'm hoping that come Feb. break we can be more productive. but until then, at least we have a pastor and a reception site. if worse comes to worse we can get married there! haha.
on the other hand, i have picked up a new favorite pasttime activity. Rock climbing! I have been taking full advantage of my ability to climb for free at Rock Ventures and i go every thursday at least. This past weekend, i got to climb, thursday, friday and saturday night! Woot! You guys should check out my back... i'm getting muscles! i love it though. such satisfaction. the people i climb with are fantastic. ever find that one thing and wonder how you made it so far in life without discovering it sooner? i would say that would be cookies, but i think i found them before they were invented  , so really, it's rock climbing.
Anyways, i should continue on my way.... | | |
| well, it's been awhile... a long while. And unfortunately, dispite the amount of time between updates, nothing spectacular has really come about. Wedding plans continue. not really sure where i'm gonna be able to find the time to continue them... but that's why i'm not getting married until the fall! We have a reception hall and bartender(s) for mad cheap. We also have a pastor (pastor Brent). I have my dress as well. exciting. and i believe that i have the girls' dresses picked out as well. should be nice. the colour will be a clover green... close enough to olive.
classes have begun. i'm ready for this silly thing to be over. i think the semester will be ok. i'm taking a spanish course for fun. so far, so good. it's good practice, and it's on stuff i had forgotten. i have no classes on friday's so i'm able to work more. my nomadic lifestyle is working out ok. i'm usually crashing at either floro's or scott's. scott's cat likes to eat my things if i leave them on the table (lesson learned).
i do miss my star lakers. overall it was a good time. some really good people.  | | |
| Have Thine own way, Lord, Have Thine own way!
Thou are the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me, After Thy will,
While I am watching, Yielded and still
Adelaide A. Pollard
I look to Thee in every need,
And never look in vain;
I feel Thy strong and tender love,
And all is well again:
The thought of THee is mighter far,
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.
Samuel Longfellow
And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed,
His truch to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him
Martin Luther
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge
Psalm 62:8
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And
the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6,7
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
amen. | | |
| i wish i could draw a web... a broken web full of miscommunications.
problem 1: i need to pay for this semester
problem 1a: roberts and houghton don't want to talk to eachother. instead they want me to go between them.
problem 1b: i don't understand everything that houghton and roberts want from eachother.
problem 1c: roberts can't get my financial situation correct.
problem 2: i need to register for classes for spring semester.
problem 2a: i can't register until i've paid for this semester.
problem 2b: i can't register until i've been approved to online
problem 2c: my advisor is in africa on sabbatical... therefore no one to approve me to register online.
problem 3: i need to know how much next semester will cost me to know
what i can pay for this
semester
without loans
problem 4a: no one who should is taking responsibility, so i'm left in limbo stage, unable to do anything.
So basically roberts is stupid. houghton is being dumb. and i'm frustrated.
there's only one thing left to do. probably the first thing i should have in the beginning. trust God.
however, floro did come up to visit this weekend. we got to climb
mt. arab. it was a spectacular view from uptop. simply
amazing.

| "you are my strength when i am weak, you are the treasure that i seek, you are my all in all... when i fall down you pick me up, when i am dry you fill my cup, you are my all in all..."
how true is that song. it was one of my favorites while in highschool. a song that i would always keep in my head. for some reason it escaped. perhaps i got too caught up in life and all of it's troubles and tried to hard to make it on my own. perhaps i was too hurt and angry as to what "God allowed" happen to my family... or just my life in some circumstances. but then last night during chapel we sang this song. the words just came flooding back to me. how long had i been trying to be my own strength, or have some other person be that strength for me. maybe that's why i had felt so empty, angry and alone.
while here we all have to deal with a rather difficult person. each morning i have to get up and pray for patience, and continue to ask for it throughout the day. there's no explination that would fully bring light onto the situation, more than we all feel as though we're paying thousands of dollars to babysit. but then again, not on my own strength can this be done.
and how does one deal with distance? never before has this been so hard. i miss him more and more each day. and again, i'm learning, not by my strengh...
God is a good God... i just have to remember that sometimes. | | |
