| Catching Up |
I saw Avalon and Zoe Girl last night! The concert was awesome! It was a great day :) Got some new shoes too :)
I got to see Casting Crowns a couple weeks ago and they were awesome as well! I absolutely loved that concert. In the last two weeks I have just been to the best concerts, and it's been so great!
School is out. I'm so happy! I am not taking any summer classes, yes!! I have a break from classes, so now I just have work. There's a part of me that really does not want to get my masters. Sometimes I envy the people who work and don't then go to class too. I can't believe how much time I have to do things after work now that classes are out. It's like the day is still young. It's so great having "free time." I have time to relax, have fun and just get to be with people and do things I don't get to do when I've got a pile of homework to do. It's soooooooooo great! I wish learning on my own, reading books would be enough. I wish that piece of paper wasn't that important. But I guess if I want to be a licensed clinical professional counselor, this is what I've got to do! I absolutely hate grades......hate tests.........I so wish I could learn and not have all that pressure. But it's just the way it is. Speaking about grades, I've gotten one back. I got an "A" in my marriage and family counseling lab course! I'm really hoping for another "A" in my other marriage and family counseling class.
The grade I am waiting for is in that class where I had the huge essay exam! I'm anxious, but I do feel that overall I did well. I think my project was pretty good, and I think I answered my exam ok. I just hope my professor thinks so! He's a hard grader. Well, I'm just going to not think about it for now, and hope for the best.
I think I'm going to take a shower now and get ready for bed. I'm ready to just rest and spend some time with God and have a good night's sleep!
Good night! |

| Lead Him Home |
Have you ever just really wanted to save someone? I've known my precious friend for almost 9 years now. He fell away from our God during this time. Ever since I've been eagerly trying to find a way to save him, only to realize time and time again I can't make him get saved. I can't save him. There's so many things I really want to "save" him from......eternal separation from God being number one. I've cried myself to sleep many times after my futile attempts. I'm thankful that I'm not alone and there is Someone who has been knocking on his heart for a long time. All I can do is be an example.....make him want what's in me and let the grace of God lead him home....
I just wrote this song as I was thinking about him, how much I long for him to share my faith again. How much I want him to come home. This song is for everyone who loves him........or for those who have someone like this in their life.
Lead Him Home
Did You hear my cries last night
Sometimes it seems like I want to fight
If he would just hear me
And believe me
Then he'd finally find his home in You
And You would wash him up and make him new
But I can't force him to newness of life
I can't force him to the truth
I can't force him to accept the One who who can save him
I can't drag him by his feet and lead him home
God please hear my prayer today
Please help me find the right words to say
And then help me listen
Really listen
And help me to really be open too
So that my true love may lead him to You
Cause I can't force him to newness of life
I can't force him to the truth
I can't force him to accept the One who who can save him
I can't drag him by his feet and lead him home
But I can...
Be a light in his dark world
I can shine out the hope I have in my Jesus
I can make him crave the contentment I've come to find
In the one who satisfies the insatiable
And heals the brokenhearted
Yes, maybe then...
He will freely run
Freely run into His Daddy's arms
Freely run and find the One
Who will say "welcome home son"
I have been eagerly waiting for you
And he will say...
It is You that I want
It is You that I love
I'm sorry for the path I took that lead me away
But thank You for not giving up
And for once again calling me, Your son
You can't force him to newness of life
You can't force him to the truth
You can't force him to accept the One who who can save him
You can't drag him by his feet and lead him home
Be a light and let God's love lead him home

| The final stretch! |
Classes are almost out of the semester! This is the time when all the projects are due at once! I'm trying to get all that finished up. Next week I have a 20 question essay exam. Did I mention it was all ESSAY!!! Half a page each!! I've got a lot of cramming to do this upcoming weekend. Pray for me! I'm going to need each and every prayer. I totally need God's grace--His help right when I need it the very most. My exam is next Wednesday, May 11 at 6:30. If you remember, then be praying for me. I'll be really nervous. I have a test the next day as well but I"m most concerned about this huge essay exam. I probably won't be posting until after this is all over.
God bless you all.
