Valentine's Day
... was wonderful, for more reasons than one. Remember a while back when I wrote about my one course that had to be done by mid-February? Well, it's done now, and I handed in my final paper on Valentine's Day. Made for a very full day, since I spent most of it trying to finish it up and finish it well, but it's done now and I'm so excited! =D
Dan took me out for supper at the Mission (the nicest place in town). We had baby ribs with salad and fries, and a brownie sundae for dessert. SO yummy! We ended up staying at the restaurant for about 3 hours because we ran into my pastor and his wife and chatted with them for a while. Then we went back to his place and watched a movie. It was lovely. =)
You might be wondering what I did for him for Valentines Day. Every year the Ambassador Choir here at Prairie does what they call "Singing Valentines" that you can buy for whomever you want. They have a list of songs that you can choose from and they will personally deliver it to the recipient, most of the time in the dining hall where it will be the most embarrasing. ;) That's right, I sent him one. Felt kinda bad at the time cause he looked like he wanted to melt into the floor (as you can see by the picture), but it was worth it. =) The song that I picked? Follow this link. =D

And for those unfortunate few that can't get YouTube, here're the lyrics. ;)
When You Say Nothing At All
It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Am I willing?
Psalm 26:2-3
Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.
These words hit me hard, especially the fact that I've found myself quite unwilling to pray them for myself. I ask Him to show me His will, but I want the answer to be an easy one, one that doesn't include an in-depth examination of my heart and mind. Those examinations are never easy and always painful. I want to pray these verses so much, but there's still a part of me that's holding back. There's so much work that I need to allow God to do in my heart. Please pray for me, that I'll be willing to allow God to test me and to grow in the process. It will be hard, I know, but He'll get me through it if I focus on His love and walk in the truth of His Word.

Stupid technology
I don't think we realize how much we depend on computers until they stop working on us. There's something wrong with the connection between my computer and the power cord, which means that my computer's not getting any power to it. And considering the fact that my battery lasts a grand total of about 5 minutes it is officially dead until that connection can be fixed. But now I need to go do homework. This was just a procrastination break. ;)
