okay, no one have a heart attack...
I'm baaaaaaaaack! Yes, I know you all missed me so much, since I've been gone at BJU (or the bubble as we refer to it) and I'm at home. And it's not REALLY the bubble. I just don't watch TV or get onto LJ. There are certain things blocked, but I haven't missed it. I haven't missed getting wrapped up in people's dramas. It's like a soap opera. Well, there are a few I wish that I could have read. Sara, I feel like I should have talked to you more. I obviously didn't care enough to see what was going on. I for some stupid selfish reason forgot that you are dealing with so much being in a public school. Hang in there though. While I'm home, we are going to really talk and dig deep down. See what we can do before I go back. I love you and I'm praying for you!
WEll, what's been going on. BJU is awesome! Don't believe Josh one bit. I have learned SOO much, and just realized how wretched I am and how holy the LORD is. I've learned that worrying is USEless because God is in control (yet I still worry, how strange is that?) I've learned that I need new priorities (and I think I'm on the verge of tackling that problem I've told you so much about Sara). I've learned that I have nothing to offer the LORD, except to be satisfied in Him..."God is most glorified when I am most satisfied in Him." And yes, I've learned some things academically. Hmm...I've learned about the fallacy of the shared characteristic (remind me to tell Timmy that just because I am weird and go to BJU does not mean that I am weird BECAUSE I go to BJU or that all people at BJU are weird. But I think that's actually a reversed fallacy, because that's going from the specific to the general, and not from the general to the specific, and shared characteristic fallacy is deductive reasoning, which goes from...) anyways, we can see that I just had finals! Point of this paragraph - The Lord has taught me so much (spiritually and academically)
I have made some wonderful friends that just love the LORD and are such a rebuke and encouragement to me at the same time. I actually miss them so much right now...isn't that sad? It feels so weird being home. I'm different, but everyone else is the same. Oh, Sara, we stopped at the church last night and guess who ran up to me and gave me a hug? Guess! No, really, guess! HAHA, I'm on telling you until I see you! (you're never going to be able to guess anyways!) Okay, a hint...the only people there were the Z's, the Booth's, Auntie Jeannine, Miss Peters (why in the world can;t I just call her Maria??), John and Roberta Hamel, Ashley, Nicky, and...hmm...I think that's it.
And I have a plane story to tell you...it was the BEST plane ride I've had yet, which is weird considering that we had 2 layovers. I only sat next to Josh on one of the flights! (but that's not why it was best, haha, I just had to say that...) I tried to call you a billion times yesterday and guess what?? the line was busy!!! boogerbutt.
hmmm...ok, I may update later, more specific stuff for anyone who is interested. I hope you are all doing well and that you have a merry Christmas if I don't see you!
In Christ's Love,
Sam
Romans 1:18-21
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shown it unto them.
For the invisible things of creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse :
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."
