Snippets

So much that I could say...here are some snippets in the life of Susannah!

||| Missing my future husband
||| Struggeling with trusting God about said man
||| Heard a little song snippet in my head in the shower today that went something like

I miss You too much when I go a day without coming to You~'cuz a day is too long when Your air fills my lungs and You made me, and You're madly in love with me

||| Sat down the other day with the Word and Jesus told me to read Jonah. It shocked me how many similarities there were between us--I feel like sometimes I want to run away from my Ninevah (Corvallis) and the Lord has recently been challenging the heart I have for students here. Am I passionate to see His mercy and grace and love save these people, or do I just want to see them "get what they deserve" for all the sin I see that entangles them! WOW. Ok, Lord.
||| Starting to plan some good ideas for next year--although the reality hasn't fully set in yet (thank you Jesus for protecting me from going insane already)
||| Missing Costa Rica A LOT....am so itching to leave the country again. Also, missing Mexico A LOT as I was there this time last year. 
||| Getting more and more excited to hopefully stay in Corvallis this summer....to take a few classes, work, live under one roof, fellowship with wonderful friends, bike ride every day, soak in the sun, etc...
||| Also getting excited for my crazy term next year, as crazy as that sounds. I'm mainly excited for my volunteer hours, which 4.5 hrs of the week will be spent at the nearby HS tutoring ESL students. Also, the class is great, which is about 17 of us, and Jordan my friend will also be in it, as well as two other awesome Christian girls. I'm praying the Lord will use us in great ways to share God's love. Also, roughly half the class is Hispanic so I always love that. :-)
||| Learning that sometimes I think catching up on people's awesome journeys with Jesus=having my own adventure with Jesus. I'm learning that can "feel legit" but when I look at the foundation it is weak. We're working on that one.
||| On a more random note, I am leaving for San Fran in about 3 hours; I should be sleeping but my stubborn self wanted to stay up until we left :-) Going with Dad, Bev and Miles. Should be fun but please pray.

Well, I might as well get an hour or two of sleep...;-)
Love you all and may you experience more of the Lord's grace today....
