Leeny

Most of you know my good friend, Kathleen and some of you know what her family has been going through lately. Her cousin Stephanie and her grandpa have both had some serious health issues. During the past two weeks, both of them passed away. Both of them had wonderful testimonies and were both ready to go be with Jesus and be free from pain.

Please pray for Kathleen and her family during this time of grief. Also, remember Leeny as she prepares to teach in China this summer.



I'd like to be the kind of friend that you've always been to me. . . Wish I could help carry your sadness.

Been a while

wow. . . it's been a while since I've posted. I haven't gone all summer like some people I know (ahem), but still. . .

Not much is different. I am really enjoying my HUC class. We've had two abbreviation tests in there, and I have done well on both of them (which is quite encouraging, I must say). When I think about doing clinicals and actually having to REMEMBER everything, I get a little nervous. But Sharon (my instructor) assures us that we will be just fine if we think. Which might be the difficult part. I guess we'll see how it goes.

So this Saturday is Michigan's Harvest Fest. Northland is sending a group of students down--my good friends Kathleen and Amy being two of them!!! Amy will actually be staying with me for a few days; I am so excited!! Amy and I became good friends right around Harvest Fest last year. . . ahhh, the memories. . . =D

Well, I should probably be off to go study/do homework. However, I do not feel like such and will therefore probably make popcorn and watch an episode or two of Hogan's Heroes with my mummy.

Have a goodnight!

I really should be in bed. . .

Well, I hadn't posted in awhile. . .So I thought I would (despite the fact that I should be sleeping)

Life is good. I started my class last Tuesday! I find it very interesting. My classmates are a bit odd, but I guess this is just an "eye-opening experience" The class meets Tuesday 8-4, Wednesday 8-2, and Thursday 8-2. The first four weeks will be spent in the classroom, the next two weeks will be spent doing computer training, and the final six weeks will be spent in clinicals. AHHHHHHHH A bit scared. =D

I went on an adventure today. It was only shopping in Flint and Birch Run. But it was with Betsy which made it hilarious. hehehe We got cute stuff. . . yay! And had a few drive-through experiences. Who'd have thought???

I was also suprised this morning. While I'm sitting on my loveseat eating breakfast (keep in mind it was noon. . .=D), who should walk in my door? Kathleen. Quite good to see her. Pray for her, if you please. She is home to see her cousin Stephanie who is in the hospital. Steph has had brain tumors and different things in the past. Currently, she has pneumonia in both lungs and is not doing very well.

Well, I must be off. Getting very sleepy.

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
