I am going home tomorrow. Pray for safe travel and for unbelievers to come to know our Saviour. Jesse would like to have that to come about through his death.

I have been talking with a friend on and off all day. It is good to talk with him. Talked about the beliefs of Mormons to various poems and what place we would like to visit someday. The conversation was a lot of fun and very interesting. Everytime I talk with him, I have enjoyed myself.
I am almost done with all my homework for this upcoming week so I can turn it all in on tuesday. I leave early weds morning to head towards DFW. I am not looking forward to the drive but I am willing to do it because I really want to go home for the service. Tuesday night I am going to go to ETBU and watch T play basketball.
Earlier T and I were talking about roommates. My roommie and I have an amazing roommate relationship. Sometimes it seems like we are almost sisters. I believe one of the reasons we had a good roommate time is because we communicated with each other. Communication is a very important factor one should have. No matter what the situation is. I miss having my roommate around. She is an awesome girl. I would do anything for her. I know we will keep in contact with each other for the rest of our lives. I do not know how it will be when we are in different states. One thing that has helped is that she is still here in town and drops by whenever she feels like. I really appreciate her doing that.
Something I have relearned this past week is how much little things make me happy. I have kind of forgotten it, but I was reminded of it earlier today. I need not to get too caught up with the big things because those things could disappoint me or hurt me one day. I also need to count my blessings. My friends have been a blessing to me. I also need to not take my friends for granted. One will never know when they will no longer be around. God is in control of everything even when things do not look to good.
I have seen God work in the death of my friend. At first I did not notice them because of being caught up with emotions and shock of his death. Even in the way he died, God was working through it. His life has blessed me a variety of ways. His viewing is tomorrow. I am going back for his memorial service. I do not think I can handle seeing him laying there in a casket. I want to remember him as being alive. Remember him as I last saw him. I want to remember him teasing me. I want to remember his laugh and his eyes. I want to remember all the fun times we had together. I do not want my last memories to be him laying in a casket. I am so looking forward to seeing him again in heaven. I cannot wait till that day.
I serve an amazing God. I do not know what I would do if I did not have Christ in my life. He gives me hope that I need to live each day. He is someone I can go to when I need help. He will never leave me nor forsake me. He loves me. He is helping me through this time right now. One thing I cannot understand is how can a non-believer go through a time like this. They have no hope. How do they survive it?
Each morning I wake up, I need to thank God for giving me another day. I need to realize that God has given me each day for a reason. I need to ask him to share with me what reason that is. I want to be more of the women of God that He desires me to be. I want my life to reflect who He is. I want to be remembered as a devoted Christian and for having a smile and a postive attitude that touch everyone the comes in contact with me. My goal is to stive to fulfil that. I desire for God to take me and mold me. I want him to shape my with His hands. I want Him to use my life radically for Him. I need to live each day to the fullest and do whatever God has called me to do that day.

“You need to find the satisfaction in the little things in life. Because the little things in life come along much more frequently than the big things. If you find satisfaction in the little things, you’ll be much happier more often and it helps counteract when the big things go bad.” said by a friend
