| *** SNOW DAY!!! ***
Hooray for snow days in college! This was probably one of the best weekends ever.

| So, I felt like an idiot, but it turns out I'm not. I'm a child of God, holy and dearly loved, and forgiven.
"This then is how I know that I belong to the truth, and how I set my heart at rest in His presence whenever my heart condemns me. For God is greater than my heart, and He knows everything." 1 John 3:19-20
You are more beautiful
Than anyone ever
Everyday You're the same
You never change, no never
And how could I ever deny
The love of my Savior
You are to me everything
All I need forever
How could You be so good?
There is no one like You
There has never ever been anyone like You
Everywhere You are there
Earth or air surrounding
I'm not alone, the heavens sing along
My God You're so astounding
How could You be so good to me
Eternally I believe that
There is no one like You
There has never been anyone like You
There is no one like You
There has never been anyone like You
There is no one like our God, yeah!

Anyways, I made it though my first Monday of classes. I know, I shouldn't have had any classes today because for one, it snowed and iced and all the area schools were closed, and two, because it's MKL Jr. day. Last Monday my nursing class was cancelled, and my micro lab was just going over the syllabus, so last week Monday didn't count. But today was my first 9 AM to 8 PM day plus an hour or so bus ride from the CHS building back home. Yikes. If I wasn't crazy in the first place for taking all these classes, I will be driven crazy in the very near future, methinks.
I like the word methinks.
Rach and Ro gave me a Nestle chocolate bar because they said it was disgusting chocolate. I think it just tasted chocolatey so I ate it.
I went to the Subverting the Empire thing at Mars Hill this weekend. I didn't agree with much of what they had to say. In general, I, with the help of my parents and roommates, came to the conclusion that we should infiltrate this empire, not subvert it. (Empire was never really defined, I have some beef with that along with other things that were said this weekend)
But I guess that's all just part of wrestling, you know? A thing that stuck out to me with reading thru the whole Bible this fall and winter was the whole story of Jacob. Jacob means, "he deceives", and Jacob was a deceiver. He really wasn't so perfect. And Jacob wrestled with God, and God gave him a new name, Isreal, "he struggles with God". Isreal is not perfect. Far from it. But God still calls him his own and loves him. Same with us. Somehow, after all the questioning and testing and fighting, God still loves us more deeply than we can know and he pursues us.
In wrestling you have to be close to the other person, and you have to be kind of vulnerable to them. Maybe that's what God wants. For us to be close, for us to let ourselves be touched by him, even if that results in some painful change. I'd say it's worth it. Definitely.

| So, it's December 4, 2006. That means that my leg was amputated ten years ago today. That's more then half my life ago. How weird! In some ways the memory is still stong and real, and in other ways it's almost completely faded, like it never happened, this has always been a part of my life and a part of me. I don't know, I don't know, IIII don't know. Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee. | | |
