I trust him so much that I do not doubt he will provide whatever I need for body and soul,
and he will turn to my good whatever adversity he sends me in this sad world.
He is able to do this because he is almighty God;
he desires to do this because he is a faithful father.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No subject of contemplation will tend more to humble the mind, than thoughts of God.... But while the subject humbles the mind, it also expands it. He who often thinks of God, will have a larger mind than the man who simply plods around this narrow globe... The most excellant study for expanding the soul, is the science of Christ, and Him crucified, and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity. Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued investigation of the great subject of the Deity.
- C.H. Spurgeon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
Romans 12:3

I love being with my awesome husband John, hanging out with friends, throwing parties and going to parties :), going to movies, singing, dancing, talking for hours, seeing shows in NYC, shopping!

I must say it did come out pretty good for a first try. I still have a container full left. I could bring it over.

Hi! I'm beginning to feel better. I am not back to work yet, but hope to return on Monday. I'm anxious to get things back to normal. Yes, and I only have about 3 weeks before I am out of work and on to student teaching. I start on Jan 28th.

Hello! I'm doing pretty well. I am a little disoriented about what day it is though..lol. All day yesterday it felt like Friday probably because today I am off school for Reformation Day. ...but it's weird that tomorrow is Thursday and not Sunday! Lol, anyway, Mike is off too so we're going to spend the day together. I'm looking forward to it! :) TTYS

Well, we made it through another week. Hope it wasn't too crazy! Ours was pretty peaceful. :) I'm looking forward to the weekend though. Tony's wedding is tomorrow .. and we're also looking forward to the softball dinner! How was your gathering with Liz in the city? :) Sounds like it was probably a lot of fun! See you tomorrow :)

Hiii Diana! I'm so happy for you! A NEW HOUSE! that's really exciting...when are you moving?? i may have to pay a visit to see what it looks like lol :0) I have been going to my first church that I attended when I was very little...school and work got extremely overwhelming and the travel to L.I. was getting hard for me...even though it isn't too far from home. But this church is within a few a blocks of my house so it's very easy for me to get there. I miss you all and please say hi to everyone for me :0) mwaaa xoxoxo

Hi! Clearly we did not get back from Jersey as planned. We got home about 8:30 this evening. Had a GREAT time with the relatives- played golf, ate good food, watched movies, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and basically relaxed and didn't think about school or work! ...though I will probably soon be kicked out of the choir if I miss any more rehearsals (really SORRY about that).
Also Mike is going to call John tomorrow to see if he can come and pick up the drawings for the book. I will talk to you soon!
