Information...
Today was a pretty good day...so was yesterday. I flew to Sacramento for the day to see my Mom and my brother, and it was really fun. We drove to the Bay Area to see some friends of ours, whom I hadn't seen in at least 10 years. We also went to Travis Air Force Base, because my brother has access to all military bases now, and he wanted to go to the BX (store for military personnel). Good times.
Today is day seven of no sugar--and I'm doing rather well! I've only been tempted a couple of times to eat sugar. I'm not sure how long I'm going to do this, probably until I go to D.C. in March. I can already see/feel a difference!
Thursday I leave for a weekend in Ensenada...and I don't have a really positive attitude about it. I mean, I'm excited to go and "bond" with my Tunisia team, and the other teams, but...the thought of sleeping in tents, in the rain, in the cold...knowing that our tents may wash away like they have in the past...all these little things are dampening my spirit. I need to just get over it, so I'll be working on that this week! I'll be back Sunday night, exhausted I'm sure. :)
Tomorrow is "Single Awareness Day" (AKA Valentine's Day), and I really don't mind this year. I feel ever more aware of the Lord's love for me, and I am going to just celebrate that. Someday I will have a someone in my life, and we can celebrate that love...but for now, and always, God's love is far greater than that of ANY man, and I am going to just enjoy His love. :) It will be a great day, with class, work, chapel, homework...all the good stuff.
More and more I am just loving U2...I don't know quite what it is about them yet that I love...but they've been "growing on me" for over a year now (though I grew up listening to them)...their latest CD is brilliant.

To leave you with an "inspirational" thought..."Take these hands, teach them what to carry.
Take these hands, don’t make a fist.
Take this mouth, so quick to criticise...
Take this city, a city should be shining on a hill.
Take this city if it be your will.
What no man can own, no man can take.
Take this heart, take this heart,
take this heart and make it break..."U2, "Yahweh"
(How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb)
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present or the future,
nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."--Romans 8:38-39
