Posting Time

By the way, in case it matters to anyone, my stamped posting time is messed up. For example my "rambling" post was typed around 1 am on Thursday, August 31st. However, my blog says it was posted at 9 something on the 30th. Thought I'd let you know. =)

A little rambling. . . and a song

Okay, so I wanted a blog to keep all of you guys posted on what I'm doing in my life. However, tonight I'm feeling slightly introspective and am about to ramble about very introspective-ish things.

So like, in my original plan for this upcoming fall, I would be heading to Northland on Friday for the fall semester. However, this was not in God's plan. Which surprised me actually. I thought I would be wanting to stay home and God would be pushing me back to Northland. The reality is quite the opposite. I'm supposed to stay here and I'm very much wanting to go back.

Kathleen and Ed already left. (They get to be room leaders. . . ) And Amy leaves tomorrow. I know that God has a plan, and He has shown me QUITE clearly (through a great variety of circumstances) that His plan for me right now is to be here at home working. And while I know that in my head, it's a little hard for my emotions and desires to realize that as well. =)

So enough rambling. Here are some excellent song lyrics. I love them! Hope you enjoy also.

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could
Rescue the souls of men
Oh, You rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way

You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne

You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Road Trip

So. . . yesterday evening I got home from a week of travels. Monday (the 21st) I headed to Indy to see my good friend Amy Carrier. After spending a few days with Ames, I headed to Independence, MO to see my favorite campus parents and their new baby, Taylor!!! I was SOOOOO excited to finally meet Taylor. (I had only been waiting for like, 6 months. =D ) The trip was great fun and I am so glad that I was able to go.

Here are some pics. . .






And here is Taylor!!






Wow. Very pleased with myself for figuring out this simple thing called blogging. Yike. Sometimes I struggle. =)
