Right now I have a myriad of thoughts running through my head. There is so much going on, in my life, in the lives of my friends and family, in our country and across the globe. Life on this earth is never dull, not for a moment. There is so much to ponder and think and do. So much life to live and things to see.
Even right here, in little ol' Lynchburg there is history on top of history. Civil battle grounds to visit, and just up the road I have tons of family history to shift through. Not to mention I am only 3 hrs from my favorite place on earth-Washington DC!!! The Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Holocaust Museum, Tomb of the Unknown, etc. To think that this nation was founded by godly men (and women) and to see what it is has become.
Yes, right now America is far from godly. Yet, we are a blessed nation. Even with the economic struggle we are facing now, we are better off than in the 1930's. There are jobs out there for people, you just have to be willing to do the work, and not think that you are "above" such a "menial" job.
But even closer to home, there are so many classes offered here that I want to take. I want to take as many counseling classes as possible, as many apologetics classes as possible, as many theology classes as possible. I want to learn. I want to leave here WAY more educated and prepared than I am now.
Food. Food is good stuff. I love to eat. I like pasta, meat, pizza (pepperoni), fruits (bananas, strawberries, kiwis, oranges, raspberries, tomatoes, grapes, pineapple, and so on) and doughnuts (though it has been months that I had one) and chocolate chip cookies, and shortbread. I like mac and cheese with hamburger or chicken, I love apple pie and fast food. I love mexican food and don't even get me started on Churros! Ok, so I'm hungry!!! Maybe I'll snack on a banana, that's healthy!
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control. I am writing a little devotional that ties the fruits of the Spirit (just listed) with the description of the Proverbs 31 woman. I have just started. The idea came out of my love and yearning to emulate the Proverbs 31 woman, but I couldn't figure out how to do it in a 21st century way. I am excited about this. I am still working on my other book. Maybe I'll actually be published in the next 5 years!
I guess before I ramble on for another while I should sign off and finish studying, so I can go to bed (I've got a migraine, did I mention that, well it doesn't matter, just means I NEED sleep soon and lots of it). I'm praying for all of you.
May Christ our Lord be with each of you in a special way. May He draw you nearer to Him in a way that brings you more joy and a deeper satisfaction of the knowledge that rests in a right and obedient relationship with Christ.
