There is NO shadow of turning with Thee...

a random tangent before i begin:
i really hate being in limbo. let me explain. if in the event i call a person AND i facebook them about doing something on a particular day that i know we are both not doing anything, and i specifically say things like "let me know" and /or "call me back", and they don't....that kind of limbo. the least you could do is let me know that you are occupied for the time and we aren't going to be able to do anything. because i really hate not knowing these things.
thanks.

now on to what i really wanted to write about.

i do not understand things that do not change. i'm not sure that any of us do, really. because if you think about it, in some way, shape or form absolutely everything in our lives changes; whether it's noticeable or not. i've talked about this with a few people, but God has really been inforcing to me, in a couple different ways, how much He doesn't change. and that is something that i wrestle with. i don't understand permenance, especially in the relationship area. but the idea of a God who loves me the same way He did at the beginning of time, and the same way He will at the very end of time is an issue that i must constantly remind myself of.
very often i find my reliance on God something that teeters, because in a sub-concious way, i'm wating on Him to change, when He's promised that He won't...

how incredibly lost i'd be without that Firm Foundation in my life. "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows" (James 1:17)

"Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
...All I have needed, Thy hand has provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me."

tell me what you know

i'm going to do my very best to describe life in the briefest way possible.and no,brevity is not a gift of mine :)

classes are overwhelming. when i think about it too much. these next few weeks are going to be pretty intense; music therapy test and my first lab practical on thursday, nutrition test on monday (which just so happens to be my birthday...thanks, ipfw. thanks.), and a biology lecture exam the next morning. any one of those things in a given week would be more than enough to keep my free time non-existant. but no, we're going to put them all within 5 days of each other. as soon as i get through this, it will be fine, but until then, i reserve the right to spaz out.

i'm on duty this weekend. that means no leaving. which is fine, because i have a buuuuunch of stuff that i need to get through before monday comes.

i have been doing awful with my quiet time this week; which probably has a lot to do with my current "overwhelmed" state. i really think i take it for granted, at least the effect that it has on my days, because i can definately tell when i haven't had it.

this is a lot of random this and that- my mind is kind of all over the place tonight.
monday i have my reapplication presentation for my RA position, and i definately need to be putting that bad boy together right now, but this sounded like waaaaay more fun. i'm such a procrastinator :)

there's been a slightly negative tone to this post. time for a list of happy things:
-i got paid tonight. that's always nice :)
-kayla got a job!! she has a classroom and i'm thrilled for her
-7 days from now i'll be home for my birthday weekend :)
-i had a wonderful lunch on thursday.... :) certain people in this world cause me to smile a bit bigger than others...
-i wore sunglasses today. i love sunglasses.
-tonight, my roommate shared a cookie. it had sprinkles :)
