May 13th Lord willing I will graduate. And I will not be blogging again most likely until then. I will be busy with school and work etc. I am excited to go back and finish strong!

Today was my last day at work here in Columbus and it was bitter sweet knowing I won't come back probably as I will probably move somewhere in PA after graduation. But it was good knowing that I learned alot at my old workplace and enjoyed the people there alot also.

I will miss keeping up with my small band of blog friends! May you be blessed these next few months!

"A true Christian posseses a consolation which affords him more sweet satisfaction than the greatest wealth, or power, because he belives that his affairs are so regulated by the Lord as to promote his salvation." (p. 41, Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life)

This reminds me of Joseph...After darknesss, light.

"A faithful believer will even in all circumstances meditate on the mercy and fatherly goodness of God." (p.43)

"We must assign first place to the knowledge of our religion, for that is the beginning of our salvation.
But our religion will be unprofitable if it does not change our heart, pervade our manners, and transform us into new creatures."(17)

The book from which these quotes are taken is probably first on my list of top 5 favorite books. It is intensly rich and practical. It is a small paperback book to boot. It covers alot of ground though.

daisy, give yourself away
look up at the rain
the beautiful display
of power and surrender
giving us today
when you yourself away

rain, another rainy day
it comes up from the ocean
to give herself away
she comes down even
and all of us the same name
when you give yourself away

let it go
daisy let it go
open up your fists
this fallen world
doesn't hold your interest
doesn't hold your soul
daisy let it go

pain, give yourself a name
call yourself contrition
aberits of fame
giving isn't easy
if anybody'd like to say
if you give yourself away

daisy, why another day
why another sunrise
who's gonna take the blame
for our redemptive motion
and every rainy day
when he gives himself away

let it go
daisy let it go
open your fists
this fallen world
it doesn't hold your interest
it doesn't hold your soul
daisy let it go
