point taken

Due to my sweet sister-in-law's subtle prompting, here I am to update. So here are a few tidbits in the life of...me

-I am still working and schooling....with only Wednesdays off completely.
-I am going to the midwest AGAIN! for which I am SOOO EXCITED!
-Jon Gerst and Amy Fiechter are getting married. pray for God's hand to be on the weekend.
-I just bought a new camera.
-and a new warrrrrrrm jacket
-God is good.

The other day at school, it was clear, windy and crisp/cool. In addition to that, I shared some encouraging words with my brother, sang some praise songs in the little piano practice rooms at school and I felt the Spirit just seep into my soul. THe world is such a wicked place...I am continuously bombarded by evil every day at work and school...and to have such a sweet place in my heart where God was holding me close, lifting me above the muck of this place was truly amazing.

I am learning to let God have all these parts of me. the parts that stress, get angry, lose heart and despair. I am continually reminded that He is here for me. But he needs my attention...my praise

Reminds me of lyrics by Keith Green:

My son, my son, why are you striving
You can't add one thing to what's been done for you
I did it all while I was dying
rest in your faith, My peace will come to you.

For when I hear the praises start
I want to rain upon you blessings that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
because you are my child, and you know me
to Me you're only holy...
nothing that you've done remains...only what you do with Me!

My child, my child why are you weeping
you will not have to wait forever
that day and that hour is in my keeping
the day i'll bring you into heaven

Chorus.

My precious bride, the day is nearing
when I'll take you in my arms and hold you
I know theres so many things that you've been hearing
But you just hold on to what I've told you!!!

OH to trust him THIS much!!!
