Missing My Best Friend

Leigh's avatarAll You Need is Jesus

In college I met so many great people. It was a small college, made up of maybe 400 people, I can’t really remember.

But basically it boiled down to this: if you had a crush on someone….by the end of the day he would know it. LOL THAT’S how small the campus was.

Okay, I’m joking. I think. Maybe. LOL

I met my best friend our freshman year. She was in the student center, sitting by herself so I decided to go and introduce myself….and a friendship began…. 🙂

God knew I found a friend to last a lifetime.

She graduated a year before me (I changed majors so it added an extra year.) and got married that May.

Then we sort of…grew apart. She lives in Mississippi. I’m in Virginia….

Life happened, you know? And I get it. I get that life gets in the way of things sometime…

Research and Anxiety and Mental Health, Oh My!

Leigh's avatarAll You Need is Jesus

I’m loaded down with tons and tons of notes and print outs and books related to my project. And yet I don’t feel like I am anywhere near ready to start the actual writing.

Sure, I’ve got some things written out and some things typed up but it’s frustrating because I can’t seem to tie it together.

As I told you, I’m having to delve into my past which I’m not really sure I want to but it has to be done. I know this.

Prayers would be appreciated as I continue to venture into the unknown world that is writing a book. (Yes, I’m saying book now, LOL)

(I remember now how much I hated researching in school, LOL)

Living at ease with God

Proverbs 1 New International Version

Wisdom’s Rebuke

20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,
    she raises her voice in the public square;
21 on top of the wall[d] she cries out,
    at the city gate she makes her speech:

22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?
    How long will mockers delight in mockery
    and fools hate knowledge?
23 Repent at my rebuke!
    Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
    I will make known to you my teachings.
24 But since you refuse to listen when I call
    and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
25 since you disregard all my advice
    and do not accept my rebuke,
26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
    I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
    when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
    when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 “Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
    they will look for me but will not find me,
29 since they hated knowledge
    and did not choose to fear the Lord.
30 Since they would not accept my advice
    and spurned my rebuke,
31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
    and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
    and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety
    and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
