Well, its a new day. :) As it is every day! How sweet to take hold of God's word when He says that "His mercies are new every morning."

Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

i am learning to realize God's presence at my side every moment of every day. It's much easier for me to see Him at work when i am realizing His presence near to me. Every day He cares for me, gently helps me along. Yesterday He finished paying my school bill for the year for me. :) He is so good! Now He is preparing me to serve Him someday, where ever that may be. :) It's a hard journey.

i babysat a little boy today at school for a few hours. He was a precious little man, about two years old, with hugo brown eyes and the most adorable laugh in the world. The first half hour he balled his fists up in his eyes and refused to remove them. Then all of a sudden, he sticks out the biggest tongue i have ever seen on a little boy, and leaves it hanging out practically the rest of the time (an hour). Yes, he was trying to lick me. No, he did not succeed. ;) Back in the saddle again. Would life be complete without children? i think not. i cant imagine a day going by without a child nearby. One of my good friends back home has the cutest siblings in the world. Everything that comes out of their mouths is completely original adorableness. i cant help but laugh. "tace." she says. "they're really not saying anything funny." Oh, but they are, they are. Not only is everything a child says funny or sweet, but sometimes it has great philosophical meaning to it.

A quote from my five year old brother: "I heard what you said! I was closer to you than your mind was to your mouth!"
