“all her debts were cast on me,
and she must and shall go free”

peace of conscience, peace with God
we obtain through Jesus’ blood
Jesus’ blood speaks solid rest
we believe, and we are blest"

Heeheehee. You know you have a reputation when a prospie who ran into you roomie at the greenhouse (<3) and who ends up staying with a person in the triple across the halls, sees you in the hall and goes "Hi, your the crazy roomie, right? I've been warned about you...." We spent a while talking, but I think it made my day. I have a reputation. SWeeeeeeT!

In other parts of the woods, Robert gave one of the best sermons (if not the *first*) on being burned by religion/churches. He threw a lot of "bones" but I was the most impressed by how open and honest he was about his own hypocrity. Worship this morning seemed perticularly good, and it was cool to sing Cindy's song. Shes such an encouragement; I am truly excited for her this summer and very much look forward to spending more time with her. That church continues to be such a blessing... pray that they get another 159,000 before July 15th!

MF is a VERY short two weeks away and I continue to be "plagued" by it at 6am. May our efforts be enough.

Ok, outta here to enjoy the 70+ degree weather (i love mass springs!) even if its just looking out my window.

...this is how we do it...

To keep me from being conceited because of these supassingly great revelations, there was given to me a thorn in my flesh. I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me, but he said to me, "My grace is sufficent for you, my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power might rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties, in taking obscene amount of credits, and in doing even more extra-curriculars. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Co 12:7-10...kinda)

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take ahold of that which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and striving towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:12-14...kinda)

This is how I got through the 22 credits, and this is how I will get through the next 3-5 weeks (not to say anything about the next two semesters!). I can do anything through him because he gives me the strenght to do so, filling my weaknesses up with grace and his power.

Glory to God!!!!!!!!!!

He is faithful, and true to his word. He does not delay in carrying it out, but executes it according to his perfect. His promises are steadfast and my eyes have seen his work, his love and compassion and my ears have heard hopes of the future.

Everything comes full circle (again) and I am renewed, filled with new vigor and excitement.

Woo hoo!!!

This just seemed appropiate...

The mighty one the lord, calls to all the earth
From the rising of the sun, to the place it makes it bed
He calls his people and we will listen
He will not keep silent till we feel the fire again
No, till we feel the fire again

A thankful heart prepares the way for you my God

Come fall on us, we fall on you
A thankful heart be our rhythm
Come fall on us, we fall on you
A thankful heart be our song

With only 27 days until Music Fest, and something like 34 days until the end of finals, I am both ready and excited to leave for the summer. But there is much to do. I feel like a junior now. Not a puesdo junior, but a true one. And a person who is about to be a rising senior.

Yet somewhere over the course of the year I seem have lost (or "forgotten" as Lynds calls it) how to desire with my whole self. Blame it on 22 credits, blame it on a bad relationship, blame it on not riding, but I have no one to blame but myself.

I do look forward to ballroom tomorrow though-- we're goign over the american waltz (not the viennese, for personal space reasons ). My friend Katherina is teaching it along with her waltz partner, Chrag. Twill be fun!

Congradulations Sarah and Nate! May you have many happy years together~
