| HELLO!! It's Tuesday and it feels like Tuesday too! woo hoo. (I've started saying that alot) It's misting outside today and Sarah and I caught some of it when we went to Arby's this morning. I haven't written anything on here in a while and I feel bad," Psych"!! (as Sarah would say now that she's taking Psychology.... HEY! don't throw the rotten tomatoes @ me! She is really the author of that lame-o!! I'm always proud to quote a cheesy joke made by someone other than me, b/c that makes me seem less cheesy! lol!) Seriously,I'm sorry, but I'm starting to not care about this thing that much. I just finished setting up that last one (OCT 17) ! It took me so long b/c I had to put the whole journal thing in HTML codes in different sections because the text option that comes with this thing doesn't do copy and paste! ahh! how rude! right?! Right!! totally right! So anyways....if there are a TON of mistakes in that (and I know there are) or if it's like all messed up on your screen and you are really mad about that, you can email me at: [email protected]. haha! you CAN email me there but there is nothing else I am going to do to fix that page. It's hopeless as far as I am now concerned |

| Yeah, so after taking forever to finish that journal entry I almost swore off of computers until I remembered that the computer is the only way that I communicate with several people that I know who either live really far away or can't talk...... (ok they ALL live really far away, and they all CAN talk...but if I knew someone who couldn't talk "aloud" I would email them.....IF they had email! :o) While computers are good for communication and education, they can also be extremely frustrating and confusing (i know i know, EVEN TO ME! haha....sorry bout that....y'all know i am computer-not-so-smart.) and they can also be addictive and time-consuming. That last one is the one that I struggle with the most I think. Especially since starting here @ CP. I started comin' here and doing all of my work in the computer lab and now there's all these different things that I want to do when i get here.......like the CGR message boards and email especially!!! oh yeah and this....but not so much anymore. |

| Ok, so enough about computers...today in my computer class we had a test on Excel. I did pretty good on it. The extra software that we have is killin' be though. we take a test on this "SAM" software along with our regular multiple choic test and the SAM software gives you 5 attempts to do whatever they tell you to do. This sounds harmless, but in reality 1/3 of the questions are things that we haven't done before and don't know what to do. With this in mind, take into account that each wrong click takes away one of your 5 attempts. AHH!! I only got one wrong today so I was pretty happy about that, but some other people in the class have failed that and had to do a project to make up for it! aww. |

| So, the Lord has been workin' with me alot the past week on trusting Him. There are so many new presures in my life (well, seemingly new....I've actually had them for a while but ignored them, i.e. getting a job/car, applying for college, and a few other things) and I know that He is in control, but the ME in me always wants to take that control (that seems harsh but if I look at it sbujectively without justifying it that's what my attitude is in and of myself) and I don't want to have control of my life because I know that I can't handle it and that if I take that control and give the Lord the back seat, I will mess up more than a few things in my life. My relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the most important thing in my life and everything else should reflect the love I have for Him and that He has given me to shine to the world. So I decided to fervently pray about these things that are as of yet unknowns to me. college being the most important seeming. I know that the Lord will show me where He wants me and will make a way to get me there. It seems like every time I think about it though, I get frustrated because I can't make up my mind. But it's not up to me (PRAISE THE LORD!!!!) He's gonna show me where to go. I don't have to decide which place I like the best or which place has what I want (and I don't even know what that is yet!) like every other graduating highschool student in this choice-laden country. I have a Father who knows what is perfect for me and Who will show me that an bring me to it in His time!!1 How wonderful. |
| Man...these pages seem to be getting shorter every time I type in here! haha! ok I guess I had better go before I have to make this 2 pages! like last time. It is such a burden lifter for me though, you can't understand unless you do the same thing. writing in a paper notebook is good and I do once in a while....maybe 2wice a week, but it's so much faster and I can unload so much more on here and think about things that I may not have thought about before. Especially about my Savior. It's a WELCOME break from this boring computer lab to think about my Lord and how He so lovingly interacts in my life and shows me grace in each passing day! May you see the Lord's blessings today like never before. He is SOO good to us! He IS LOVE!!!!!! I love Him. Love always in Christ, rachel ><> |

Philippians 3:8-9
"I also count all things loss for the glory of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith"
Colossians 1:19
"It pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell."
