Thoughts from the upside of the valley...

I find it simpy amazing how after only 3 days of total dependence on God (not this half-hearted bisnaz i've been doing for the past few weeks) my life has already gotten exponentially better. And its not just in one area either.

In my physical life i've been able to walk for at least 30 min every day. It makes me feel so much more energized and just better about myself. Allowing God to have control in other areas as well has proved to be phenomenal as well. For so long i've been sitting in the middle of the battle, trying to fight but not really being able to. Now that i've finally given the battle over to God, it was immediate, the effect it had. Suddenly, i was no longer in the midst of the battle. I could hear it raging on, hear them calling me out to fight, but i was safe, distant from the fray. God fights for me.

This...upswing, if you will, has also been effective in my personal life. I find i am not quite so irritable and short with people. I can enjoy my relationships with other so much more now. I mean, i still get irritated. But not nearly as much as before.

I've been able to read my bible every day, and pray during my walks. This of course is the real reason behind every improvment i've been feeling. And even with my sore legs, i'm really glad with life right now, and excited about the future.

Now, i just have to worry about planning this little hoe-down tomorrow...stinky face. Back to work!!!

    YES! YES! And...YES! (Yes...those were totally said outloud).

    Praise the Lord! This made my day! No joke. Don't you dare put down that sword, Breanna Wilson! ;)

    Keep it up, girl...God does not abandon His people; He is our everything. Keep trusting in Him!

South Asia Nursing: Uncovered!!!

So, for those who care to read, here you will find a briefly detailed summay of my trip to South Asia with CBU's ISP nursing team. For security purposes, I will not be stating the names of countries or cities we were in, and the names of the workers in country have been changed. Enjoy! The trip started like all ISP trips: at the globe. After a time of prayer, we headed out for our 14 hour trans-pacific flight. We landed in Hong Kong only to discover that there were currently strikes going on in our country (we'll call it B.D., which stands for Beautiful Darkness because the land was so beautiful, but so full of spiritual darkness). So, we had to stay the night in Hong Kong. It was fun and we were excited we were able to get out of the airport, because originally we had a 13hr layover or something crazy like that. So, we saw a bit of the city, including the batman tower from the Hong Kong scene in The Dark Knight. Finally we flew out of the bustling hot sticky city, and made our...

Just some random thoughts floating in my head

I was looking at my friend's pictures today, and I realized that I wasn't there for a lot of them. This made me very sad. In a way, I feel like I missed out on a lot this summer. Apparently they had another tribal night. How did I miss that? And I was working when they did deep fried candy bars, though I did get to stop by for a few minutes. How did I manage to miss the shoe-tree? I think I forgot about it, so that's kind of my fault. But yeah, I feel like I missed out on a lot this summer. Leaves a rather unsatisfactory taste on the pallet. So, I really want to try to eat healthy and be more active and maybe shed a few pounds this semester. I usually do really good. Until I get some craving for ice cream or soda or some other sugar filled carbohydrate (yes, that's a bit redundant ). Usually I cave. Which makes me wonder: if I really cared about losing weight, I wouldn't cave. But, I really do want to lose weight!! Isn't there some way to like, balance being act...

Another Movie Idea

Okay, kinda worked out another idea based on Tamar and Amnon. It certainly wouldn't be PG, but i'd try to keep it as clean as possible, what with the story line. Tamar: Daughter of Absalom, son of King David. She is a young beautiful teen who is named for her Aunt Tamar, a quiet, desolate figure who isolates herself from the rest of the family. Tamar's upcoming marriage serves as a catalyst to draw out the story of her aunts sorid past, and the truth about her father. (Aunt) Tamar: a young beautiful princess living in her father's house. From a distance she has seen her handsome half-brother Amnon, but living as a virgin in her father's house prevents her from seeing him. When the King commands her to take care of Amnon in his illness, she eagerly goes, only to find that Amnon had faked his illness. When she refuses Amnon's demands to sleep with him, he overpowers her and takes what he wants anyways. Afterwards, he throws her out in disgust, despite her pleas, ...
