I feel as if that title implies that because I am going to write something good, that God is only good when I am feeling good or when good things happen. Don't get me wrong, it is excellent when I'm "walkin' on sunshine" (which is my theme song by the way...) but I also see the good in the seemingly bad and ugly.
I guess that means today, I'm Clint Eastwood and the others have or will come out later... ;)
Anywho...I'm just waiting cause on our way out of camp our van did a 360 into a ditch...yes, Crystal got into another vehicle accident, just can't seem to get enough of them, eh?
But I'm just waiting like a good girl in the office. Waiting and waiting. Yeah, but last night, I can't tell you how much I got done. I know it's a bad idea to work 7 days a week, but this was so refreshing, mostly because I got some stuff done that I haven't been able to get to in awhile and though it's not completely finished, it's more organized so it will be easier to tackle in the next few days. But I got so much done. God really multiplied my time. I like to think it's because I am trying to honor Him with my time and all that I am. But it's more than that, it's simply because He loves me and that is refreshing.
School is going pretty well and if I kick butt, mayhaps I can even get an "A" in psych! wootwoot! Yeah, so I am pretty psyched...heehee pardon the unintentional pun! Better than drowning my tea bag for information though! (Dez, you know what I'm talkin' about, nudge, nudge!) Wow, I feel different than before. Perhaps I was taking a walk in the valley, eh? God is so good not to leave us there forever though.
Going home: a possibility, but not a definite as of yet. We'll see what happens as the week unfolds. Laureen just bought a round-trip ticket from Sacremento to Chicago. Thereby leaving me to drive home and back here by myself. Doesn't leave us much time to hang out, which really grieves me. But we decided that since a roundtrip costs about $250.oo and one from redding to north platte would cost $350.oo oneway only, we didn't think it was right to go that route. There are plans in action though. I really hope that God works things out to His glory. I will miss the time with my sister, but she has way more time to spend at home, a job opportunity, and no rush to go back to redding. So I am content that God is working through this. Don't know how He's going to use it, but He will. Sounds weird to me even that I am writing about this. Seems somewhat juvenile. You never really know how close you are to someone or how much they mean to you until you are separated, even if only for a day.
Much love to you all. (Jo, these are getting longer...hope that satifies you, my dear!)

mwa ha haaa, so much Crystal in a single post!
Actually I have to admist, that since I've been busy with work (musical and christmas parties means more catering for me) I'm kind of behind on reading.
So much great thinking going on, that's the up side to tough times; they cause us to take a serious look around us and in us. Life has been rough this semester, and my mind has been reeling, but it is exactly like you've said here, God is good. And he has good things planned, even if good doesn't mean sunshine and rainbows.
(Although joy will come in the morning... even if the morning is the other side of this life... I'm going to stop writing now... guh! I always just go on and on...)
jo, you know I love the bejeebers out of you!
