| p. s I just moved this weekend. Winnie has the address if you're interested or just e-mail me. It's been a hard (and expensive!) road, but God is faithful and strong in the midst of it all. |

| I'm leaving July 10 and like the early handover, I totally do not feel prepared to go. God's been doing things at home. For example, my relationship with my mom has grown a lot. I feel like we've really connected in a way that hasn't happened for years. Yesterday, I couldn't go to sleep until four in the morning. I read my old journals. I came across this quote: "Grace is freeing me to no longer minimize, justify, or deny my losses, but to face them with integrity and grieve over them. Coming out of denial about past losses has been critical to my healing process." Nancy Groom. Grieving sucks, but it's necessary.
I was watching a romantic comedy "Til There Was You," which was more like a tragedy, but I realize that it's a short jump from believing in love to believing in a higher power. God is love. |

| I'm impressed by this early handover in Iraq. Perhaps that's the way to do things-spring it early, so there's less time for anxiety, because it already happened. :) |

| I've realized that I don't speak up for myself. So I went out to dinner with my friend and I told myself I need to speak up, because I didn't want to eat at a certain restaurant. I spoke up. However, this was after we were seated at this certain restaurant. I'm kind of s-low. (Could you pray for me about this?)
My professor e-mailed the class about grades. He said that about 40% of the class got A- or above. I was in the other about 60%. Surprisingly, all my grades are in. It's only been a week after finals!
I've been reading this book, The God of Small Things. It's so sad. And then I get sad about it... |
