The End of a great Spring Break!

I took my monthly trip home this past week. Yes, a week, most of the time it is a weekend at a time. Lucky for me I was granted the entire Spring Break off and I took advantage of it and went home to see everyone! It was wonderful to be back home and see familiar faces again. I was able to go to Antioch twice and listen to Pastor Gregg. He is a wonderful man with a heart for God. I enjoyed the sermons and the Easter Sunday music special. Like all things though, the week had to come to an end and I had to return to Tifton. The more I go home and the longer I am there, the harder it is to return to Tifton. But my trip home has made me realize that I want to be at home this summer. I have just put in my transient application for summer classes at Highlands, and I pray that I am accepted in time to reserve myself a spot in the Chem.II class they are offering. Another blessing is that they are offering two different Chem.II courses, one is 4 days a week 2 hours long the entire month of July. With this course I would be able to attend the annual Carpenters for Christ trip...YaY!!! However, I would be cramming a lot of information into a short period of time. And I would have no time for a job. On the other hand, they are also offering a summer long course that is only two days a week...it is at night so I would be able to work during the day, but I would miss the C4C trip...If you read this, please send up a small prayer that 1. I am accepted in time to reserve my spot and 2. that the Lord shows me the best "course" of action. I hate being so far from home, friends and family, but I have to finish what I started. And like Daddy kept pointing out this weekend, only five more weeks. Hopefully, these five weeks will go by super fast:)

Just a few thoughts I thought I'd share!

Well today was a good day. School was school and work was work. But I had a better attitude towards school and work because I knew and could feel God here with me. I have recently met someone that relates to me and agrees with me on so many different aspects of religion and he has shared with me things that have re-opened my eyes to the power of our Lord. The God I serve is an awesome God. NOTHING can compare to Him and NO ONE can compare to His Love and miraculous grace.
He is so willing to wipe the "slate" clean time and time again, as long as we are truly repentant. As humans, however, once or twice is enough and depending on the person three or four times, but with God...HE forgives EVERYTIME with EVERYONE!!! How amazing is that?
God is also still in the miracle business, and business is booming. I have experienced miracles from tiny minute things to actually being able to step back and realize that God does have my life in order and i just need to relax and let Him lead me.

Just a Little Lonely

Well it is well about 2:30 a.m., just another night in the college life.
I just finished all i could take of my Chemistry, and my head is swimming. I have been going at it for over 2 hours now and I am glad to say I only have one section to go before I am done with Chapter 2. There are so many conversions and numbers to Chemistry and it has been so long since I have done any math I am a little rusty. But it is coming back to me slowly but surely. I am not particularly looking forward to the rest of Chemistry, but I can't back out now, now can I? So might as well make the best of it.
Tonight was the first night I had to decline a invitation from friends to go hang out because of school work. This dang Chemistry actually is making me study. haha. but I think i deserve a little 'pat on the back' so to say for buckleing down.
But I was just about to put my computer up for the night when I got a overwhelming sence of loneliness. I don't know where it came from or why, but I just got very lonely. I know God is here with me, and I feel bad when I'm not happy all the time because God has blessed me with enough that I should never feel anything less than LOVED. But I am thankful for ALL God has blessed me with, and I know he will never leave nor forsake me. And I know that someone out there is waiting for me and God knows when, where and how it will all work out, I just need to 'hold my horses' and wait for God's timing.

Our God Is Amazing.

The God I serve is still in the Miracle business. My dear brother Cody was concerned enough about Chad that he inquired about him to Chad stepbrother, Casey, and Casey told Cody that Chad is paralyzed from the waist down but, here's the miracle, he has some feeling in his toes and can move them some. How unbelievably amazing is our God? I have been praying so hard and diligently for Chad and his family. He still needs our prayers but it has been such a blessing to hear the news that he has some feeling. Thank you God for all You do for Your children.

Pray for Chad

I found out Sunday morning that a friend of mine from highschool was in a motorcycle accident Friday afternoon. After not seeing or hearing from Chad for close to a year, God chose three weeks ago to cross my path with Chad. We have been talking back in forth over the internet for three weeks. Talking about everything from school to future plans. It was good to be able to reconnect with a friend after so long from hearing from them, and this news was devastating to me. I had last talked to him just hours before his accident and it seems surreal to think that instead of working and hanging out, Chad is laying in a hospital bed away from home with the danger of never walking again. The doctors are telling his parents that he will not walk again and if he does it is only a one percent chance. I believe that God doesn't see percentages and statistics, He isn't bound to the medical knowledge of a doctor. God is all powerful and if He sees fit to heal Chad completely then He will. I pray daily, more than once a day actually, that God heals Chad. I find myself thinking about him all day and every time I think about Chad, I send up a prayer for him and his family. Please pray for his also. He is only 21 years old, just finished up with his associates and is an extremely sweet guy. My heart breaks at the pain that his family and friends are going through. So as you finish reading this blog, I sincerely hope that you find time to send up a prayer of healing, hope, strength, and determination for Chad and his family.
