And Done

Well, my first year is officially over! These past 2 weeks have been packed full of assignments and final exams. It's such a relief to be officially finished this school year! Now to celebrate....with work? lol. We officially move out of school on Saturday, so I spend a couple more days here working at the store, then I move home! The Seneca girls and I are planning a nice dinner out to celebrate the completion of our first year. Tomorrow night we're going back to O'Noir. As some of you may have read in my blog a few months ago, I went to a restaurant that demonstrates what its like for blind people. The restaurant is completely pitch black. We are heading back to the restaurant to commemorate our first year. It's fitting because that was where our first bonding experience took place at the beginning of this year.

Now to find a summer job. Some of you know that I had an interview at Reid's last week. Still haven't heard anything. I'm praying that it works out, but I'm trying not to be too anxious about it. Please pray that God have his hand in the situation and that something come about soon.

Now that I'm available for the summer....let's get together!

Hope to see you all soon!

Happy Summer!

Peace

A Psalm of David

Hi everyone!

Last night in my devotional time, I was asked to read through Psalm 13. This is a Psalm where David becomes impatient with God because God has asked David to wait for Him. The Psalm reads through and David says many times in desperation "How Long?". It is clear that he is beginning to get frustrated with the fact he has had to wait so long for God to answer him. Until the last 2 verses, David continues to talk about his waiting and what he hopes that God will do. But in the last 2 verses, something changes. Perhaps David actually realized that God will answer him, but he will do so in his perfect timing. It's like a lightbulb comes on in David's head, where he settles back and agrees to continue waiting. Instead he praises God for his unending love and his goodness.

This was an absolutely perfect Psalm for me to read last night. I am in the midst of attempting to find a job for the summer, and so far have come up empty. I am beginning to majorly stress about that as I only have about 2 and a half weeks left of school. As I read through this Psalm, I was reassured that even David had a hard time waiting upon God. I completely trust that He will provide for me, however I have no patience! (It's something I'm working on!) I was reminded that He is good and His love for me is unfailing and He will never forget about me. I just need to be patient and wait upon His perfect timing.

Psalm 13 (NIV)

¹ How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?

² How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

³ Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;

⁴ my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

⁵ But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.

⁶ I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me

Rejoice and be patient!

Peace!

Happy Birthday Poco!

Today is my horse's birthday! He is 11 years old. Unfortunately I couldn't spend some time with him today - hopefully I will have a chance during this long weekend. I will also take some pictures of him for you to see! He's the cutest horse ever!

On another note, my group had a project in our Interpersonal Communications class today and we got 100%! We were super excited to have gotten perfect on the presentation! We all worked really hard and are so thrilled that it paid off. Good work ladies!
