It is currently 2:10 am on Christmas Eve and i am NOT sleeping like i should be. I dont know if its the excitement that Christmas is almost here, or the fact that i just cant sleep. i guess its both. :), i kind of enjoy staying up and thinking about life and nothing at the same time, but worried because tomorrow is going to be a long, but very fun day indeed. Tomorrows agenda consists of me waking up earlier than usual and taking a shower, finding a nice outfit, and going to jonathans house to go to Addis for Christmas eve service that we are singing at. I am pretty excited, to because i get to spend Christmas eve with him and his family. we are exchanging gifts after the christmas eve service and eating fried fish!! yummy! i keep thinking that he wont like my present, but oh well. I got him this book called :Mere Christianity: and i also got his season 5 of House. atleast i know i will like that present, haha. but anyway. Life is good, im enjoying this nice break from school.
Passion conference in Georgia is less than 2 weeks away...im so excited!!! so many christian artists i love will be there, such as Hillsong United, Fee, Charlie Hall, Kristian Stanfill, David Crowder, and etc. God is really going to move! Pastor Terry gave me some money to buy merch and food on the way over there, so that was a blessing.
A few weeks ago, we had to put bonnie down. It was so sad, and it was really hard for me to deal with, esp during finals week. i really thought i had it all together when it all just sort of hit me and i cried for about 3 days. I miss her a lot, but i know that she would have been hurting. I hope there is a dog heaven out there, i really want to believe there is, but i dont know. It seems like a childish thing to think and wish for, but i really hope there is. I think pets are gifts from God, they give so much joy to our lives.
Well, im trying to live each day, day by day and not think about the future as much. Sometimes it is really hard not to though. I ask God to give me patience is certain areas of my life, and as a young woman, its something that i have to fight for all of the time. Every girl wants that dream, and i dont want to get ahead of the ball game. Ive always wanted to get married young, but i know thats not what God wants for me right now, everything isnt right right now. I just keep praying for patience and He is giving it to me. I am so thankful for a loving God. right now, i am happy just being with jonthan and pursuing God in everything that He is. He is so good to me.
