The Long-Awaited Post

Hello all,
I'm not sure how many of you HBC people will read this, but I just thought I would actually use my blog site for once, lol, and let you all know what is going on with me.
College is going well. I love my roomates, and my classes are going well. Please pray that I can grasp the concepts being taught to me in my music theory classes, I have to get a C or better in those classes, or I will fall behind in my requirements. As difficult as college is, being away from home, and family, and friends, and a wonderful church, it has also been a great blessing. Over and over again i have seen the Lord provide in so many ways. When I least expected it, hadn't asked for it, and didn't even know I needed it, the Lord provided exactly what I never knew I needed. I have learned to rely on Him for the most insignificant thing. But even as I do that, I find it difficult to trust Him with the bigger things in my life. As the semester progresses it is becoming increasingly difficult to set aside time to spend in His word. I can see a change in myself when I am not in the Word, and as John said to me, "What keeps me coming back is I know the Joy.....and I'm miserable without it." I remember the peace and the close relationship that I had come to have with my Savior, and it keeps me coming back.
Those are my main prayer requests. You are all in my prayers. As Paul said "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you"

because of the Savior,
Tara
