i can't believe it's Tuesday!

I have had such a busy weekend with graduation, parties, family, and catching up with friends. I have even been offered a job for when I get back. What a blessing. But, it is Tuesday now, and the past four days have seemed to be worth a whole week! and also, Tuesday means only TWO MORE DAYS!! I told mom that and she said it made her stomache hurt. :) i guess the reality that i am really going and that i am going really soon hit all at once, it must have been a big hit.
so, yep, two more days it is.
i got my 1 suitcase and 1 carry-on, and, surprisingly, there is still so much room left in both. maybe once i am really leaving i will realize what all it is that i will really want to take and throw it in at the last minute. that usually happens and takes a good 30 mins extra. but it is when i pack the best and don't forget anything!
i got an mp3 player last night and have been loading songs and media on it. thankfully. :)
and, checking off lists and checking them twice, preparing spiritually -the Lord is soooooooo good. m! he is! He feeds his flock, his children, me. he is redeemer, sustainer, enjoyable and even an entertainer! Life with Him is so sweet. He has been providing and taking care of me. like always. he always does.
Spiritually, i have been prepared, prayed for, and will continue to be. victory is won, and we just need to live in that. i am enjoying so much life in Christ. it is the sweetest thing i have ever tasted. exciting, it is. he is preparing me more and more. i have gotten random words and prayers from different people. there is a theme that i will see. what i am holding onto, he is preparing me. my expectations are to be His, as he tells me. light, and shining.
if I were asked, "what is your greatest day on earth?" i would have to say, "today." "today, becuase 'it is the day that God has made.' and i rejoice and am so glad in it. and that is today!" God never changes, and he is the same today, yesturday, and tomorrow. what changes, is our responses to Him. let us always rejoice because today is today, and tomorrow will be today, and God will be and is the same person, lovely person always. His character never changes. !

and today is Tuesday.
Last Friday i graduated with a communications degree in print/graphics from DBU.
i got up early that day, was at the school before 8am, had lunch at 2, :), then that night went and watched Marc's dance recital. what joy!
Saturday, saturday i saw a friend in the morning, went to a graduation party at 2 for Ben the V, Katie was there. then, went to bible study. late.
stayed in Duncanville, thankfully Grace's house was open even though it was late.
went to church Sunday morning at Mountain Creek :) my fav place to be. went to a friends for lunch, then saw Edna, thought i was going home, went shopping instead, then remembered Merge at Lake Point, hung out, got coffee. anxious for home, but called to be. God has a plan, i let Him use me. Amen.
That was my day, my weekend in a breath. Today is Tuesday and i finally took a rest.
Slept till 11 and now it is time
to continue to prepare for the next two days so i'll be fine.
for the trip ahead, the change of pace.
my reality will shift, when i get to the place.
all will change a great great deal.
i am excited to go, it is such a thrill.
the change and motion will be different in deed.
but with standing on the Lord, nothing matters to me.
"no worries" "no fears" just trust in Him,
he carries, he prepares, and gets us to the end.
he cares a great deal for His children he uses.
those that love him and take all the bruises.
"we enjoy them" they say. "they are victory for the Way."
It just shows i am weak, and He is The Strength.
i rely, deny, and go in a wink.
:)
what joy it is to rely in Him.
it is not I, but Him in the End.
