So it really isn't morning as I write this blog, but I felt like saying it.  So good morning!  I enjoy the mornings!  Especially when no one is up and I can just breathe out and talk to the Lord alone without any disruptions.  I can do my daily routine and be productive so early in the morning!  I love it. 

I graduate in a few months from Rhema!  I am uber excited about that.  Still contemplating the idea of a 3rd year.  hmm... still praying about that one. 

God is so good, as I am sure you all know.  As I grow in knowing Him, I am ever amazed by His word and what I have and Who I am in Christ.  As I continue on through out this year there things that I learn that cause me to wonder about where I was before I learned these new truths.  Wow... really...wow.......

I would love to travel everywhere this summer... I don't think that is going to happen.  So I need to pick a place and settle upon traveling there for a short period of time.  Seeing as though I haven't been out of the country in about 2 + years. I think it is time to travel outside of the US borders.  Now... where to go... where to go....

Today is my Birthday!  I am quite excited about it.  It was pretty hard the other night... I had  melt down and then woke up feeling a lot better today (friday)  and realized that it was going to be a great Birthday and that basically I should have no expectations and just enjoy the day!  So tomorrow, or today... I will have no expectations and just enjoy the day!  What simple truths I learn on a daily basis. 

Oh and another simple truth I found the other day...I already knew this about myself, but I still needed to be reminded:  The word (the bible) is very refreshing when I feel run down, weak, tired, fretful, upset, disappointed.  On Tuesday evening I wasn't feeling well and was somewhat disappointed about something.  As I do every night I got ready for bed pulled back my sheets climbed into bed and grabbed my bible.  I opened it to read just a chapter or a few verses, but as I started to read, I began to feel better.  I read a few chapters and realized this is just what I needed.  I know this about myself.  When I feed on TV, movies or the news more then I feed on the Word, I find myself more easily aggitated by life.  Traffic bothers me, Folks at the store bother me, little things are blown up or out of proportion.   So, again I find myself with this little insight... The word refreshes body, spirit and soul!!  we are spirit with a soul and housed in a body.   

Much love friends,

So school is back in session and we just finished our first term.  Today was first day of 2nd term.  I have Evangelist Lab this term.  I get to preach Jan 9th.  I am somewhat concerned about this, not the public speaking part.  I am more concerned about will I have anything of relevance to say?  I am sure I will, at least I have a few more weeks before having to focus on that.  I am excited about these new classes!  School so far has been delightful!

I have the whole week off from work this week!!!!!!!  Ya know what I have done all day today.. NOTHING... I took a 4 hour nap after school and then made dinner and then watched my all time fav movie "You've Got Mail."  I have enjoyed my vacation thus far!!  I am excited about the rest of the week!! 

Thanks for your prayers!  They have really helped!  He is getting married next week....yeah long story... nonetheless, God is BIGGER then this tiny situation! 

Love ya

Erin
