well.....to keep things short i spent last week cleaning a bunch of "junk" out of my room and organizing a lot i tend to be a packk rat. and still adjusting to life at home for the time being. last weekend i was able to go camping with a big church group that i love and cherish and just enjoy time relaxing and enjoying nature away from the hub bub of cell phoones, tv, and craziness. This week i really was able to dig into Isaiah and really glean from God and his anger and love to the nations and to his people. Now i am spending some time with my two brothers (sister in law and niece). Its really hard because i want to stay closely connected with my family and that is hard when they are far away. Last night i was able to see brother kirk (sophomore at bethel) play soccer and take a bunch of balls to the head, cold but a fun time. Have not been able to connect with him much, except through sports or brief conversations that we may have. I have not quite accepted that boys will be boys and are not quite as vocal or talkative as we females. So i pray this time especially with my brothers will just be a time to talk and know their hearts, as i dont get to do that much. I was able to eat breakfast and spend a short time with a Bethel friend and just share life and kind of talk about some funny stuff but also some core stuff. A sweet song that i was listening to in the car was "Fall on Jesus" a good reminder of our daily need for our Savior. This week i have really been reading and rereading the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20) and what it means to put that on daily! This morning i was reading Psalms 34 and the first verse has been the meditation of my heart today as i go about my day and have conversation with people., "His praise shall continually be in my mouth". Sorry this is only a weekly thing i dont mean for that to happen, but i have been able to talk to some of you on the phone which has been a blessing. Please pray that i would find contentment for this season in my life and believe GOd has me where he wants me! much love...Brittany Noelle
