Isaiah 26:3-4
***You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Trust in the LORD forever,
For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.***
Don't trust in earthly things... Money will not control your future or what happens to you.... But Jesus is in control of all things. He is the only one you can TRULY trust in...because He has ultimate power over every situation....
When you're struggling, pray to Him... Because only He can really help you.... And He will help you to have peace in a raging storm... Those who follow and lean upon Him will never be shaken.
Though the sea is raging and the powerful ships are sinking, He will be there, calling you to walk across the powerful waves...and come to Him.... Just as He called Peter. What SEEMS impossible IS possible with God. He is mightier than you know.
Remember...He looks after all of creation.... Taking care of you is not difficult for Him. And He will look after you. Maybe things won't go exactly how you want them to, but He has a plan and a purpose for your life.
Jeremiah 29:11
***For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.***
Pray to Him for strength...and He will strengthen you.... If you are truly following after Him. You can by no means play both sides, but if He is truly your Lord (or MASTER) and Savior, then every prayer you pray reaches His ears.
Jesus is affected by your words because He really does love you and care about you. Tell Him what is in your heart, and He will hear you. Just lean on Him, and He will hold you up in your time of trouble.
Forget this world and dwell on Jesus.

NOT A BUG CROSSING DX
I think a giant bug just started crawling across my hand in the dark...while I was chatting with people online....
I could feel all these giant bug feet climbing up.... Never saw it, but I flung whatever it was across the room, leaped up, and struggled to turn the light on.
CREEPED. ME. OUT. O.O

Crazy Dreams Last Night
I had some more weird dreams last night....
First, I dreamed we were at like a beach-like area. It was a REALLY small beach though....and there were a few large rocks around it that the waves were hitting up against. My family was around in the area, but I wasn't really near them.
And suddenly there was like this hurricane weather that started up. The wind was blowing really hard and everything. And Dad was yelling for everyone to get to shelter. I didn't really want to 'cause I was enjoying it....but I did...
Headed for the truck, which was parked really close to the beach in the sand. Lol! And I just remembered.... The wind was actually blowing me across the sand as I was walking to the truck... Like it was picking me up slightly and blowing me towards the truck.
Well, I made it to the truck, and I noticed as I was getting in that the truck was slightly tilted towards me.... But I didn't pay much mind to it and closed the door...
Then suddenly the truck started ROLLING down across the beach, and I'm like, "Okkk....what am I going to do...?" But of course, I couldn't do anything but wait for it to stop...
Unfortunately...when it did stop again, right side up.... It ended up sliding down into the ocean, and so as I'm going underwater I'm like, "OH NO!!! Now the pressure of the water'll build up so much that I won't be able to open the door...the water'll slowly fill in, and I'll drown to death!!!!" D=
Then the dream ended, and I flipped into another dream. Lol!
In my next dream, Grant was there, and I think he was on the computer or something.... So I glanced down at the date and time in the lower right hand corner... And it said 3/10/12, so I'm like, "Oh my gosh, Grant!!! We're supposed to be getting married in 3 days!!!" =O
(The wedding is really supposed to be 4/13/12, but I got the numbers mixed up in my dream apparently... So it looked like 3/10/12 instead of 4/10/12.)
So yeah...I was freaking out over that.... Lol! =P
Annnd that's it... The other day, I dreamed I had this caterpillar worm stuck up in my nail...and I was doing everything I could to get it out.... 'Cause I knew if it was alive it would push up in there and tear my skin away from my nail...like it already had from getting shoved up too far in. But it was dead...
There was just a whole bunch of its eggs locked up under my nail too....that I was trying to get out, so that when the hatched, they didn't eat all the skin out from under my nail... Yeah...scary dreams....
But caterpillars are always evil in my dreams anymore. I hate them. They're always like the moth caterpillars, with not much hair...and big ugly faces that wanna....who knows what. I SO hate them in my dreams though...
I've had so many crazy bug dreams... Like I was infested with these skin worms in one of my old dreams...and you could only get them to come out if you got REALLY hot....
So I would get under the covers in my dream, and try to get all sweaty...and they'd come out, panting.... I know...so weird....but as soon as I got out of the covers, they'd go back in me. >.>
I must have too big of an imagination or something 'cause my dreams are practically always somewhat crazy....
Whether it's ghosts, or demons, or evil giants who try to give you stuff in order to FORCE you to stay with them...or bugs or zombies or evil torturers who particularly want to target ME (and then I gotta be the smart one and save everybody) or evil toys who also try to give you things if you'll only do their bidding...
Grant's dreams are always so logical and normal compared to mine.

Headed for Ohio
Grant just left for Ohio, and I miss him already.... I'm probably gonna cry tonight... Lol! But it'll be alright.... It'll just be a bit lonely without him here...
I'll have to call him every day. Told him to call me in the morning whenever he gets the chance, so... He'll probably arrive in Ohio around 7 or so.... Then he'll probably sleep for a bit... Hopefully, he'll call me sometime later.

All the Tears in the World
So my fiance, Grant, is probably going to end up heading back to Ohio tomorrow. It was originally Saturday night that he was going to head back, but since he doesn't have work, he thought tomorrow would be best, 'specially seeing as on New Years Eve there'll probably be drunks and cops flooding all the roads.
I suppose it will be safer... Though, it still saddens me.... Almost cried in the car today, riding back from work with him...
Just been thinking about it.... For 3 months I won't even be able to hug him again... It'll be alright though, I know. We've been separated before anyhow, and 3 months isn't gonna kill us.
In a way, I think God might be trying to show me something through this... I mean, it's really been reminding me of Jesus in some ways... Not that I'm exalting Grant as though he were as great as Jesus was.
But.... It's kinda like Jesus in that...
When Jesus died, all His disciples were so sorrowful... Like I'm going to be when Grant leaves.... But then, after 3 days, He rose again and returned to them. Similar to how Grant is going to return to me in 3 months.
Another way it reminds me of Jesus is how Jesus told His disciples that He was going away to prepare a place for Him, but He would return to take them to Himself.
Grant's also going away to prepare a place for us after we're married.... And similar to Jesus, the Bridegroom, Grant is going to return in order to marry me... It's like Jesus and the Church.
I really think God is trying to teach me something about Himself through this, and it's pretty amazing.... I really believe our love has been a beautiful thing...
And I'm SO glad God brought us together how He did. Everything has been so good and worked out perfectly according to His plans.
Jesus has really done marvelous things in our lives. I hope He continues to use us to be a light and a blessing to others.
I know that I'm going to miss Grant very much... And there are times when I'm going to cry for him, I'm sure....
And if we miss our earthly loves that much when they're gone, how much more should we yearn to see Christ, our Lord and Savior...?
The One who loved us more than His own life. The only perfect One, who would never do anything to hurt us, and in the end has promised to wipe away every tear from our eyes and bandage up all our wounds.
So merciful...so kind.... I can't tell you how many times I've cried to Him, and He has heard me.
I can feel His presence in my room... I speak aloud to Him, and He answers me and comforts me. No one has ever been there for me as much as He has, and I love Him more than anything in this world.
Sometimes I hate it when He corrects me, and I complain to Him about it.... Like, "I know, but..." But, I know I must always submit.... Sometimes it's a little bit difficult...
Especially where it concerns other people... But I must obey Jesus. Even if it means giving in to things I believe are unfair.
I know I'm going off on a rabbit trail here...
Haha.... Sorry. =)
Back to the subject. Grant's heading back up to Ohio tomorrow. I won't get to see him for 3 months. Though he is getting me a phone, so I'll be able to talk to him more easily with that.
Still, I'll be incredibly depressed when he leaves...especially the first few days.... I'll try to keep my head up, but I have a feeling there'll be a lot of tears flooding my pillow at night.
Yeah... I'll miss him something fierce, but all in all, I know it'll be alright. God's plans are ALWAYS perfect, and I have faith that things will all work out how He wills.
Anyways, He sees more than I do and knows whats best for us and others. Maybe Grant will be able to be a light up in Ohio. Something that can help to lead others out of the darkness and into Christ's saving arms. =)
And perhaps God isn't yet finished with me here. Maybe I have a part to play in Virginia still. Who knows...? God's will be done in it all though, and may He bring about the most good through every situation.
Even through the destruction men bring about through their sin, God has the power to use it all to bring about good. HE'S JUST TOO AWESOME!!! XD
Lol! =P
Well, I'm not even 100% sure where I'm going with this anymore, so I think I'm just gonna call it quits tonight. Love ya all!!!! And don't even think about denying it... >=[
I love Jesus. He loves everyone. So if you're a real human being, then I love you. So there.

P.S. I love animals too, so... =P
