Its been a while since there's been a real one of these...
Hello!
Here's the weekly update on my life:
We had our first old testament assignment due this week, on the books of first and second samuel. it was really easy, so that went well. I managed to get in an argument with one of my room mates as well as Karen, and have made up with both of them, but learned humility and forgiveness in the process. then two of my roommates got in an argument and I learned how to be compassionate and to be patient. we went to manchester yesterday and that was really overwhelming... to be thrown back into the real world... aka a mall.
as for the full update here is is:
Physically- I am tired, and starting to feel a cold comming on, so I am popping vitamin C and echanacia, and trying desperately to get more sleep, but that is far easier said than done.
Acidemically- as usual, I am behind, and am now counting on Christmas break to catch up with my work, but am working really hard to be caught up right now so that I can make the most of my time at christmas.
Mentally- we all know I'm going crazy, so lets not even go there. haha.... no seriously, its starting to be hard mentally to be in the same place seeing the same people all of the time... I am descovering how fabulous it can be to just go out and walk.
Spiritually- I feel like I am getting back into the Godly life that God designed me to live. and its feeling so good. When I was home I was so dry and drained that being here, I feel like I'm full up, but in reality I'm probably not even half full yet. So what I'm really saying is that I am doing really well spiritually- learning alot and very often, which can be almost overwhelming, but its so good!
This upcoming week we have our first memory verse test, which I am scared spitless about, because I have yet to even start memorising verses, but am going to work on that this afternoon. I also have a new project that only I can work on... I have a new penpal from Israel that is at the torchbearer's school in Germany, so I'm really excited about that!
Otherwise... there is not much happening here at Capernwray Hall in England. we only had church once today, instead of twice so that we can have quiet time tonight, which will be really nice, I always apreciate the designated quiet time.. because otherwise I find myself getting occupied with the other goings on of the castle. Its not even really exciting things either. actually thats something Karen and I were talking about last night, how we have started to be REALLY excited about really small things. like going bowling, or having spoons at tea (that means there is desert), or clean sheets, or doing laundry, or real coffee, Pretty much the things that were I at home would be trivial, but here we are for real excited about because life is so simple and often times boring.
Internet is on now, so I'll go down and post this. I hope you all are well! perhaps this a good a time as any to remind you of my email (laurel_j_baillie@hotmail.com) if you ever want to write, or even my snail mail... which I would love to get even just a short note from you!
