So...

I haven't blogged in a couple of days. Haven't read through Romans either. It's been a pretty busy week. I finished up my summer class (thank you Jesus!) and I've been in Rockford with Rob since Friday night. I'm still here. Rob ended up not having to work today so I got to stay an extra day. Friday we saw Prince Caspian and it was really freakin' cool!! I loved all the Christian connections and some of them were very powerful and sometimes tear jerking! I would totally recommend it if you haven't seen it yet. Saturday we went to Michigan's Adventures with Cru people and that was good and fun up until I feel down some slippery stairs in the water park, which gave me a headache, which made me naseuated (sp?) which put me out of commission the rest of the day -- but Rob and I rode Thunderhawk before we went to the waterpark so I was glad that I at least got to ride the new ride. We went to the beach after that and walked out to the pier and chilled and talked. Then we went to the Getty Drive-In and watched Iron Man. That was the first time I'd ever been to a drive in so it was good fun. Today we went canoing down the Rogue River for two hours -- that was a lot of fun. It was so pretty! Now we're just chillin... Rob's playing some video games and I'm catching up on other people's blogs.

Speaking of reading people's blogs... two of my fellow bloggers are aboard about their recent adventures is getting me excited and nervous about my own in a little over a month! I know God is going to take good care of me because He obviously wants me to go... support raising was almost too easy! lol. But I'm nervous about being away. It's only 6 weeks, but I know SO much is going to happen and that I'm going to grow and do things I've never done before and be places I've never dreamed of seeing before... it's going to be a great experience and I really wish I could shake this feeling of fear. Fear sucks... fear is from the Devil so that means he sucks too. As I'm typing this I'm looking at this eagle things on Rob's desk and it reminds me of Isaiah 40:27-31.

27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"?

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

So there is no doubt that God will sustain me on this trip. He's in control... He knows what's going to happen before, after and during this trip. He knows every single step that I am going to take... then why am I so worried? It's like I know this stuff in my mind but maybe my heart's not completely recieving it? I know it's normal to have some fear/anxiousness before something big like this, but He tells us not to have fear and not to be anxious... BAH! Haha... it's a little frustrating at times. Anywhos... I think I'm done verbally vomitting for today. :)
