Hey Beb,
I know this is your last week of the semester...don't have alot to say except I know that it is stressful for you...and next week is finals!! I'm proud of your academic effort and will be praying for you.
What are you craving that could go in a care package? :)
I don't know if I have ever shared my life verse but it is found in Psalm 37: 23-24 and goes like this:
"The steps of the good man or ordered by the Lord and he delights in His way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down for the Lord holds him with His hand."
It's weeks like you are facing that I like to remember that verse! Do you have a favorite verse when you are stressed out? If so could you post it here? I would love to read it.
Love you!!
Dad

My favorite verse is: Psalm 73:26 (NLT) "My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever."
My favorite passage is: Lamentations 3:19-33 (The Message)
It's a Good Thing to Hope for Help from God
19-21I'll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness,
the taste of ashes, the poison I've swallowed.
I remember it all—oh, how well I remember—
the feeling of hitting the bottom.
But there's one other thing I remember,
and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:
22-24God's loyal love couldn't have run out,
his merciful love couldn't have dried up.
They're created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He's all I've got left.
25-27God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits,
to the woman who diligently seeks.
It's a good thing to quietly hope,
quietly hope for help from God.
It's a good thing when you're young
to stick it out through the hard times.
28-30When life is heavy and hard to take,
go off by yourself. Enter the silence.
Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions:
Wait for hope to appear.
Don't run from trouble. Take it full-face.
The "worst" is never the worst.
31-33Why? Because the Master won't ever
walk out and fail to return.
If he works severely, he also works tenderly.
His stockpiles of loyal love are immense.
He takes no pleasure in making life hard,
in throwing roadblocks in the way:
LOVE YOU DADDY! Thanks for sharing your life verse with me!

Wow Bethany...I love both of these, but I would have had no idea. Especially the Lamentations passage. Thank you for sharing these with me. "I keep a grip on hope." Wow. Thanks for blogging with me! :)
