LSS 16

The long-awaited weekend is finally here! I can't believe it...I'm about to take the Life in the Spirit Seminar...

He has such a way with timing...my heart had been so heavy lately. With family, my relationships with others...all of these different aspects in my life have tugged and pulled my heart and mind in every which way possible. But here I am...hours away from emerging myself into a time where all I intend to focus on is me and Him. There isn't anyone or any disruptive thing that will get in the way of this time with Him, for the support and the power of prayer that will surround me and be within me will conquer all heavy burden. With every opportunity I am given this weekend, I will utilize everything and everyone's support in every way that I can to indulge in this chance to open the doors that will bring me *that* much closer to Him.

Going into this, I will not have any expectations. I will do my utmost best to clear my mind and open my heart so that I can finally attempt to tackle the hardest challenge of all: forgiveness. I pray for the power to forgive others, but most importantly, the courage to forgive myself.

Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 17:1bcd, 5-6, 8b and 15

R. (15b) Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Hear, O LORD, a just suit;
attend to my outcry;
hearken to my prayer from lips without deceit.

R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
My steps have been steadfast in your paths,
my feet have not faltered.
I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my word.

R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.
Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings.
But I in justice shall behold your face;
on waking, I shall be content in your presence.

R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full.

LADIES!

I think it's time for another Pyro Party. I want to burn things.

I refuse to live like you...

...because if I did, I would never know what happiness feels like.

November? Already!?

Happy November, all :-)

I just got back from San Fransisco last week. We only went for a day, but it was well worth the trip. :-) Lots of good food, fun sightseeing...perfect getaway from stresses and schedules. :-P

I can't believe it's November already. Time always flies fast, but even then, it's shocking each time. :-P
----------------------------------------

I'm feeling...well, I don't know what I've been feeling lately. Slightly detached from a few things, but feeling such GREAT growth in other things around me. So many things progressing at the church, the good company I'm surrounded by, but there's still such heavy weight I feel anchoring me down everytime I attempt to sit.

----------------------------------------

Apprehensive. Anxious. Drained. They never seem to completely go away when unresolved thoughts resurface, do they? But that doesn't stop time from moving forward. True? Yes.

Next stop: KENNEWICK! What it is. :-P
