Truth... Life is short... Love without reserve

Psalm 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
Rom 1:18-20
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world god's invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Act 26:18
Open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith
1 John 3:1
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

Death

Coming back to Klamath was a little rough this Sunday, after my last OP trip to the coast. I had a major exam in my mammography class, but worse yet was hearing that a friend had committed suicide.
It came as a huge shock to me as I had only seen him just the week prior with a big smile on his face. Eli was a senior and set to graduate. He was very musically gifted and really fun to talk and dance with. I am trying to keep my mind busy on other things, but I find myself just questioning why?
John 10:10 NLT The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
Please pray for friends and family as they say their goodbyes and continue on apart.

Jeremy Camp- There will be a day
... There will be a day with no more tear, no more pain, ...

Overload

I have been busy... yet again.

Yes, I had Spring Break, but that was only after my term ended with final OP trips and interviews, class papers, my extern draw, and final exams.

Yes, I have a destination now that my extern draw is behind me. Yet, I still feel just as anxious, if not more intimidated, about my future in Eugene at Sacred Heart River Bend.

Yes, my break was relaxing, but somehow I am back to being exhausted after one week in the routine of classes and work.

Routine... a word I dislike because suddenly the spontaneous does not fit in and opportunities are passed. Trying to escape the routine of the week prior, I add more to my schedule. Suddenly, I am on overload and still can not fit the spontaneous in. Once again opportunities lost.

The goal for this last term at OIT is to do everything that I haven't done while in Klamath. This includes trips with the OP I've never taken, trying new foods, exploring new locations, viewing a play in Ashland, finishing a painting, actually studying for extern, singing in front of a group, learning a new skill, and loveing all people with-whom I come into contact.

But for now, all I want to do is sleep.
