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

You know I've been praying for you, but I'm glad you posted those requests, because now I can pray for you even more specifically. It really is pathetic of us to be able to trust God for the small things, yet when it comes to the bigger things like college, relationships, even money - we think that we have to handle it. If we can't even control the little things, what makes us think we can handle the big things?! For as intelligent as our Creator made us, we sure can be dense when it comes to trusting the Lord fully and completely! I've certainly been struggling in that area, too. And it's so very true what John said and you agreed with: I know what outrageous, contagious Joy is - and when I am out of God's will even the slightest bit, I feel the difference and I long to be back in communion with Him. I'm so thankful for that - what is it...our concience? The Holy Spirit? I'm not sure, all I know is that I'm thankful for it! Ok, wow...this comment is almost as long as your post! Haha anyway, I LOVE YOU!!! And I can't wait until you come home for christmas break so we can have some craziness up in hurr!!! :P I'm praying for you as you finish up these last two weeks of your semester. CALL ME if anything of even the slightest significance happens. ;)
