Happy Birthday, Dad! I love you. I hope that you will go to Custard Cup tonight after church to celebrate, although I'm disappointed to miss out!
Today was much better than yesterday - I actually did fine on my test and all my classes got cancelled tomorrow so I suddenly have a whole extra day to catch up on, well, everything. What a blessing!
I listened in to church services in Fairbury. Both readings, in Ezekiel 12 and I Peter 4, felt like God was speaking directly to me. He always meets me right where I am at and I am so thankful. Now I'm heading out to the caffe with Emily to chat and pray for our last week here! In many ways, it is completely unbelievable that my to-do list and schedule for the next 8 days fits on one piece of notebook paper, and I go up and down about it - I'm ready to leave but I have so many last-minute things I still want to do. But God continues to provide and I'm looking forward to making every moment of my last week count!
Strive aright when God in mercy
His compassion turns to you
Then your souls so long overburdened
Freed from sin might live anew!
Strive to enter at the portal
Walk the narrow path of life
Here we wander in the valley
Death abounds with toil and strife.
Strive with zeal and passion growing
In the strength of your first love
Break the bonds of earth that keep you
From your bright abode above.
Battle against the power of Satan
Grow not weary in the fight
Strive on farther to the kingdom
Of your God in endless light!
(Strive Aright, I don't know the author)
