This morning the Lord brought to mind an excerpt from the book Hind's Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard. How timely this is:

"Much-Afriad,' said the Shepherd again, "tell me, what is the matter. Why were you so fearful?"

"It is the way you have chosen for me to go," she whispered. "It looks so dreadful, Shepherd, so impossible. I turn giddy and ( Read more... )

I give you this video just for fun/laughs/whatever:

This video, the "Rejected" cartoons was really popular when I was in high school for some reason. It was brought back to mind on Sunday, when some of the youth started quoting it. LOL

I personally prefer this animator's "Billy's Balloon" video, but "Rejected" is a good course in craziness/violence.

So, I just got back into town on Sunday after almost a week in Kansas City, MO at a conference called OneThing (put together by the International House of Prayer in Kansas City.)
 The Lord definitely showed/revealed a lot during the conference. It was a different type of conference for me --a bit more charismatic than I am used to (having not grown ( Read more... )

I need to remember that Handsome is still a puppy. I'm so used to Pebbles (she could be trusted around unattended food) and I really need to remember that he is still learning and maturing.

I was snacking on some Back to Nature cheddar crackers (second in greatness to Annie's Cheddar Bunnies.) I got up to use the restroom. I came back and guess what ( Read more... )

I really do have a ton to be thankful for. I really have no right to complain. God has been SO good. I have a safe place to stay, have really never had to experience real hunger, have friends and a church family who look out for me, have a dog and a cat, and most thankfully, God's grace through Christ --which I in no way deserve --but He gives ( Read more... )

And I'm kind of freaking out a little.

"Hey Sheena, how's it going?

Listen, I'm not able to work Handsome very much anymore-- I was hoping to be able to carry on for a few more weeks, but with my pelvis separated it's very very painful to walk or really move around much at all.... And I'm afraid he's just hanging around. I thought that this pelvis ( Read more... )

Those of you on my Facebook are aware of the situation with parking at my apartment complex. I live in the handicapped-accessible apartment in my building and management created a second HC parking spot for me since the one spot that was there was always occupied. Other people keep parking there, mostly visitors and people without placards or ( Read more... )

So today, I woke up and was still freaking out about my grades in that one class. I spent the last 2 or 3 days on those assignments I turned in yesterday. And I have assignments due tonight at midnight that I need to work on that I am just now getting a chance to look at --and one of them requires 24 hours to complete (you have to think and respond ( Read more... )

I am so freaking nervous about these online classes. Just what was I thinking taking them during a summer session. Everything is crammed into so little time! Also, after a bit of a misunderstanding with the university, I won't get my name badge for my Field Experience in the mail until Friday, which will leave me with 1 week to get 10 observation ( Read more... )

I am stoked! I have finally found a church home in my area. I had been wanting to visit this church, but hadn't been able to go yet. I almost didn't go today (was up late last night), but I did.
 God must have had this all planned or something. Because today, my first visit, was a "Solemn Service" --not a regular-type service, but a time of prayer ( Read more... )
