Learning

I'm learning, I hope, to do many things. God has brought me to where I am right now on purpose. He wants me to surrender control to Him and it is a daily struggle. It seems the more I give Him, the more He wants. I am terrified and thrilled. Life is a daunting thing right now for me, and depression would like to sneak in a take residence claiming more of me inch by inch. But depression has no place here. Lonliness will not reside where the King is. I was encouraged. Jeff and I made it sucessfully through our first social gathering last night and I think it went well. I don't want to ever put him in an uncomfortable situation if I can help it. He dosen't need that right now. I still pray for him in hopes that God will supply his needs and carry him through. Also, I learned that all my friends still love me and aren't going to abandon me.

I am getting ready to plunge myself headfirst into most likely one of the busiest semesters ever. I am currently signed up for 22 hours. I may end up dropping one of those. We'll just see what happens. I also plan on getting an on-campus job, maybe in the coffee shop or in the dinning commons if God will allow it. There are some real benefits to either job. In the coffee shop I will have some good homework time. In the dinning commons I will be able to get lunch and learn (maybe) some more about cooking. Speaking about cooking, I am becomming the self-taught chef one messed-up meal at a time. But I am learing. Mom finally turned over some of the culinary responsibilites to me because her job just dosen't allow her to be home in time to cook. But that's fine with me at least until school starts. I'm glad to be able to help her and learn some things. Well, I know how everyone feels about long blogs (they don't read them) so I will conclude there.
Peace out ya'll . . .
