Lots to Catch Up On!

Well the last three weeks have been extremely eventful. There have been many prayers answered and a few sad events as well.

So to catch you up...

• Well the happy news first! I now have 2 roommates, which is an answer to prayer. Kathy and Whitney are both awesome and we are all getting along really well. It has been quite an adjustment after living a year by myself but it is nice to have people around when I get home at night.
• I have found another worship team to do Harp and Bowl style worship with. That has been an answer to a prayer I have had for 3 years now. It is wonderful to be able to express my love for God through antiphonal singing again.
• I have joined a new women's bible study lead by my friend JoAnna. We are reading a book called Enjoying God. The book has been wonderful so far and is reminding me of how much God really does love me.
• School has started again. Well the kids aren't back yet but the teachers have started. I am excited to be back to school but I know it won't be long before I am ready for a holiday.
• I jogged my first mile!! Okay it was extremely slow but I didn't walk once!
• Sad news was my grandmother got sick the last week of July and then passed away on August 4. But even in that it was an answered prayer in that she went quickly and didn't suffer for long.

Needless to say in all of the happenings God has been so faithful and it has been amazing. I have been growing so much in him and it brings me great joy. I actually got an amazing complement this last week as well. A lady at the women's bible study pulled JoAnna aside one day and told her what she thought of me. She said I sure laugh a lot and at first she thought it was weird, then she thought it was annoying, then she realized that she wanted the joy that I had.
