another year

has gone by.

last year at thanksgiving i was in celje, slovenia. sick. puking. but it was so beautiful once i got better! and now erin and justin are married and i'm in york and tom and jen are getting married in the spring and everything changes...

but it's good. funny how when life isn't all about me, it's alright. oh that my eyes would just be on Jesus all the time, and that the truths of Scripture would be burned with passion into my heart. 

what did Nancy say? delighting in the Lord brings passion for the Lord. 

'though the fig tree may not blossom...yet i will rejoice in the Lord.'

how great is our God.

oh my. 

tonight when we went street witnessing kim and i prayed the whole time--and it was really good! prayer is so powerful and i forget that all the time. i need a revolutionised prayer life for sure! 

'let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.'

guess how good God is?

well He's better than you could ever guess.

anyhow. i'm doing homework now. actually i'm really taking a break from homework to be honest. but i'm enjoying my homework--which is a very good thing.

i can't believe i write such silly things.

speaker's week was so good.
so good.

i was reading psalm 23 all week and it was so perfect. 'He restores my soul.' yeah He does!!! and then i came back home to york and freaked out because i had to be indoors and that was awfullllllll. i'm still going thru withdrawals.
and now like the rest of the students i've got loads of homework. but oh well. because i got to talk to people i love (like my roomie from hungary!) and i had a fun weekend in bradford and yeah.
oh my.
and and and i got to talk to brynnnnnnnnface and i love herrrrr.
and i'm just goofy so whatevs yo.

quiet.

i'm definitely feeling the need for quiet.

which is one reason i'm so very excited for speaker's week, next week.

another reason is that buhe and i are going to be in the same chalet. woot!

oooh for long walks with Jesus. for worship. teaching. listening.

oh Lord please teach me. help me, to get quiet time. and to get quiet time here as well--it's so hard to find the quiet i need, just to rest in You. to be a quiet place continuously. to live with a gentle and quiet spirit.

sarah is [nearly] 21

looky it's us! sarah is 21 tomorrow so dave and nancy threw her an asian party with a rice krispy barbie cake. i like it here. hahaaha.....i'm out of words. sometimes i don't believe that i have 60,000 words to use each day because i definitely don't.
