Day 104: I'm like a palm tree; I bend, but I don't break

Today's sermon was outstanding. I am so blessed to attend a ministry such as Mt. Zion. Bishop Walker discussed Isaiah 61: 3...he explored what it means to have the Holy Spirit in your life. He also spoke about "beauty for ashes"....that God will take what seems to be so ugly and turn it into something so beautiful. This certainly rings true for my life. One of the things that really stuck with me was that your joy is based on the revelation of the Word....the Word has to be tested for you to receive joy. It's one thing to know a Word and understand it....but it's quite another when you've lived THROUGH it. It struck me that that is what God has been doing in my life all along. He's been testing my Word and building my joy. It was an amazing service. We praised and shouted right on through the announcements. I love when that happens.

I have some interesting news as of late, but I'm hesitant to share it. I have learned in my life to be careful what you reveal to others...not everyone sees your vision and understands or even appreciates where God is taking you. For now, I shall hold onto it....but I am a very blessed girl. In just a few short days, I think I've found someone that may very well change my life for the better. I pray that it'll work out for both parties.

I still haven't talked to Jason since "the incident". I only wish him the best and hope that soon we'll be able to communicate and love one another again. A thought struck me yesterday afternoon...whatever it was that made him forget me, it must have been really terrible. I don't know why I didn't take that into consideration when it all went down. I hope that now, everything is back to "normal" and he's doing better. I still miss him lots.

I start my first summer school course tomorrow. I'm already so over it! But just two more classes and then I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. So it's a good feeling. I hope that I don't have Dr. Pirkle though. I've heard she's a bia. I've got to get my room immaculate before I start school...I'll be studying and training and I want to focus on those things instead of worrying about when I dusted last.
