Peace is realizing:

That there are some questions I may never have an answer to.

Some problems I can't fix

People can be problems...I can't fix them!

God doesn't expect me to do His job. He does expect me to let Him do His job.

God promises that His grace is enough. So, I can believe that if He is going to allow something to come into my life He is going to give me the grace I need.

I can't control things...but God can.

I don't have to know why, how, or when. God will let me know eventually!

I can't change the past.

I can't control the future.

God has given me all I need for today.

God does not change!

Peace is knowing my life is in His hands!

Our life is full of brokenness - broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations. How can we live with that brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful except by returning again and again to God's faithful presence in our lives. Henri Nouwen

Yes I'm recycling quotes! But I had some amazing ones last year and I wanted to remember them!

Being back in springfield has been interesting. It's funny how things and people have changed. It takes some getting used to! When I was in Honduras it was amazing how much I wanted to be back at school. I enjoyed being in Honduras (most of the time), but maybe I should have taken the time to enjoy it more! It was all so familiar, the only difference was the added stress of leadership. I had a conversation with my Mom yesterday about the ministry there and it was kinda sad. But, I can't do anything about it, so I guess I just need to leave it in God's hands!

I can't believe my classes this semester. I thought it was going to be a relatively easy semester, I knew most of my profs and there teaching methods. But...Dr. Starner leaving meant Dr. Estridge is now teaching Pauline Epistles. Just in that class alone I have enough work to last me all semester! Then my missions classes are always read 4 books and do 3 papers etc. I think my brain is lazy and doesn't want to go back to work! Hmm. I'm already busy cause I came in a little later than I usually do this semester. So I already feel behind.

I got a new computer I'm very excited about! I have met some cool people already this semester. And generally speaking I'm a lot more in debt now, but am blessed! Guess it's a good thing God is Jehova Jireh! So, now I'm waiting for some answers from God and well I plan on having a great semester. And that's it for updating! Cause all's I have  left to talk about is my rash and blisters on my toes. I'm figuring you don't want to hear about either of those! Until later then. WHEE!
