oh yeah, i forgot to write a little sommin else last night... "do what you know, and you'll know what to do" what do you know? you know the gospel, you know thatyou need to serve the Lord with your whole heart. you know that you can't find the love that the Lord has for you anywhere else! so, serve the Lord, in the little things. if he puts it on your heart to pray for maddy, or becca or jena, do it. if you think you should invite someone in class to church do it. by being faithful and serving the Lord in the little day to day things, your relationship and walk with God will get that much stronger. read your Bible, do devotions, talk with God. i'm not saying you don't do all that, i know you do, but here is the cool thing... if you love God with your whole heart, do whatever you want! now hold up before you go on some drinking binge, smoking weed, etc. etc. if you are loving God with your whole heart, you won't be doing those things that he doesn't want you to do. for example (although it may be a bad example) i might crave a chew. but i love jena, and i know that jena hates that, so i don't chew. it's not even a question, i just won't bottom line. to the point where i don't even entertain the thought of a chew. when you love the Lord, and seek Him, you align your will with His. all of that is to say this though, there may not be a right or wrong answer. God may be opening the doors for you to go down south, or to go to YWAM, or Bible College. he's letting you make the choice, then again, he may be telling you NOT to do one of those, or TO do one of those. no one but YOU knows what the Lord is telling you! :) i know i started talking quite a bit, but it's stuff i feel the Lord put o my heart. i hope it encourages at least a bit! talk to ya later hun! ;)

Thank you dave! Your words always encourage me...always. AND i WONT go on a drinking binge or smoke weed or anything....although i do know a guy who.....no just kidding....:D the Lord is prepping me for something... and ive learned to listen. I dont think going down south is an option anymore...just doesnt feel right. BUT what DOES feel right is doing YWAM. I really feel that is where i should go...THEN come back here to OSU and get a Bachelors of Art to become an art teacher...and then i want to teach piano lessons on the side (seriously...that would be SO fun!) So that is what im thinkin... i WAS gonna go to bed early last night, but i had SOOO much talkin to do with God that i didnt sleep till about midnight...it helped SO much though! Thank you for your prayers! i can always count on you to be there for me! You ROCK my tube socks! :D

DAVID MATTHEW ENRIGHT MADE UP THE SENTENCE THAT I USED IN MY ENTRY THAT STATED: "....the sound of silence..." SO I HERE BY GIVE HIM PROPS FOR THAT....THAT IS ALL.
