| I hope I can get back into school. I'm not there yet. The 'senioritis' is terrible...Sigh*
It's been a hard week indeed...I love you all, and I appreciate all of your prayers for Mark's family with the loss of his grandmother. I've finally sorted some other issues out in my own mind, and I realize that everything is going to be okay, and it's going to get fixed. <<Romans 8:28>> Please keep praying. Pray unceasingly. Prayer is a real lifeline......
Well I won't pretend to know what you're thinking
And I can't begin to know what you're going through
And I won't deny the pain that you're feeling
But I'm gonna try and give a little hope to you
Just remember what I told you
There's so much your living for
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
There's a light at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
Shining bright at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
So keep holding on
You got your disappointments and sorrows
You ought to share the weight of that load with me
Then you will find that the light of tomorrow
Well it brings new life for your eyes to see
So remember what i told you
There's so much your living for
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
There's a light at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
Shining bright at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
So keep holding on
Keep holding on...

| Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope that it was everything you hoped for :) Santa came down my chimney as I was eating his cookies....he was pretty mad, but I figure he'll get over it. 
I have a prayer request. Please be praying for Mark's grandmother. She is in the hospital after suffering from several strokes, and it's not looking very good at all. It's been very stressful on his family, and it's hard not being there with him. Plus, he's supposed to fly up here on Thursday, so everything is sort of up in the air. Also, please pray for me. There's a few personal struggles that I need prayers for, and I have been feeling depressed the last few days. I love you all and I would really appreciate it. God works wonders, and I know he'll answer my prayers in whatever way he chooses for my own GOOD. | | |

Andrea and I made it home yesterday uneventfully which is always a good thing when it comes to flying...
This semester was full, absolutely chock full, of moments that I wanted to hold on to soooo tightly. Being that this was my last fall semester, I wanted to revel in these few short months, and I couldn't. As hard as I tried, I could not manage to hang onto any of them, and that was a struggle for me. Time does not show mercy in those moments because it moves along anyway regardless of my feelings. But I'm so thankful for them and soo blessed to have had them happen.

Getting to know my professors better
Long talks about nothing and everything....
If I could change one thing about this semester, I would change the amount of time I spent with my friends. I love them, and need them more than they know sometimes. Even though there are never enough hours in the day, I would love to be able to do that more and am determined to do it more next semester. I reailze that this is it! After this, my life will change forever. I'll be somewhere else, and they won't always be there to run to. I'll miss that so very much! I think that a few feel as if I've abandoned them, and I am truly sorry for that. I am going to be there more when I'm needed. I love you so much, and I'll work to do better...
In 3 months, I've fallen in love with someone who can bring me to tears and make me laugh in the same sentance. I've never known a love like this, and in my life, I didn't ever think I could ever come close again, let alone exceed my own expectations. God has truly done more than I could have even asked or imagined... God is never more visible to you than when he shines through the one you love. That is a miracle that I cannot even describe in words, but it has brought me to my knees several times. I finally understand that God's the one in control, and life is so fragile, but when he's the one who has brough us together, it transcends even my own understanding.....
Forever and ever amen.

One more semester to go, and I'm GOING to make the best of every moment... | | |
| Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Be safe in your travels!!
I finally finished my bible paper tonight! That is such a relief...now onto my MR project and all the other papers that I have to write. Only a few more weeks! I can't believe this semester is almost over though. I am going to miss the Mabee building when I go. (That reminds me, we need to make those t-shirts  ) Anyways, I've gotten to know some of the professors so well and it's like my second home in there. It's finally bumped the Reynolds down to number 2 on my list of favorite buildings on campus... I miss Branson, Big Cedar and the LS crew. That was straight up the best 5 days of my college career! We had the coolest cabins, jacuzzi tubs, a beautiful view of the lake from the balcony, king-sized beds, snacks and cookies on the table when we got there and drinks in the fridge, and there was no curfew and no rules to my knowledge..... It was the most productive and effective thing I've ever experienced in college. Our speakers were very uplifting and encouraging to us. I would especially like to mention Paul Carter (formerly of Wal-Mart). His presentation to us was so powerful, and I was truly blessed to hear his Christian business perspective. I have a lot of respect for men like that, and I hope that that is the kind of business woman I will become...For all those memories, I would do it 100 more times.
Mikeal and Jessica's wedding reception was awesome on the 4th. Mark and I had an amazing time helping them set up in Memphis, and then we spent the rest of the weekend there celebrating my b-day. He surprised me with roses  and...the second season of the X-Files on dvd.... I'm excited to go to Carrie's house for the week. I get to see Amelia, Erin and Chad and Carrie's parents, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get pwned in 9-hole...haha.... Mark is coming on Sunday for a few days!! I'm just plain giddy about all of it!
And today was 2 months  yay! God has blessed me so much...
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
I could not ask for more than the love you give me cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more....
Edwin Mccain ~ I Could Not Ask For More
It's 12:22 and I'm off to bed...I love you all!! Stay classy...

| Did you ever just feel like you wanted to help someone but you couldn't help a person you knew needed some encouraging words? All you can do is just sit and watch and pray that things change. How frustrating is that?...especially for someone who wishes to be a peacemaker.
I am praying.
I feel as if God is leading me in a direction I never thought was possible. How can things feel so right and so scary at the same time? It's amazing and when I look back to see the road that got me here, I see how all the forks and turns and stops were a part of something greater. I feel as if I should have known what I know now forever ago, and then I am reminded that God works this way. Some of the best times I've had have just happened in the last few weeks. I have been so blessed with the most amazing person that I've ever met. I can't even describe this. How can two people be so alike and so different and so very compatible? How can you be raised so far a part in different cities in different states and yet it feels as if you have known each other forever? That is amazing. That is God working....
I am praying.
I am excited for our new Regina girls. I love my Harding girls and my dear guy friends and the wonderful family that I've made here. I am happy to be getting ready to close a chapter in my life and open another one. I am graduating in May. Right now nothing seems certain and yet I'm going to be so happy to leave here nonetheless. I just can't wait to see what all God has in store....
I am praying. Always pray. It's the most powerful plea...
