Back at school....

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting on my blog lately.....a lot has happened and I have finally found a quiet moment to sit and think!

I am finally back at school and loving living off campus! Our apartment is in a great location and is quiet. Kim (my amazing roommate and friend) and I have so much fun together and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to live with right now! School and work are busier than ever it seems, but it finally feels like things are calming down a little (i hope).

Last weekend, it was just wonderful to be able to see friends and family that I don't get to see very often at Joel and Lacie's wedding! Congrats Joel and Lacie!!!! What a great time it was and I hope to post some pictures too....

Benj and I are still trying to find a church where we can really be a part of, so maybe this is a prayer request...that we would find somewhere to be a part of each week and get to know some new faces. It's hard to find around here because it's such a college age atmosphere, so it always seems packed out with our peers and not regular families, but the searching is a blessing...we are learning a lot in the process.

I have also been learning that God is the giver and taker of all things. I think, though I know He has always done this, that this is the first time I have really realized that though He is blessing me and providing for me....He is also constantly taking from me.....keeping me completely dependent on Him and Him alone....keeping me from pride and boasting. It's a constant struggle it feels like sometimes, and Satan is trying his hardest to distract me and make me doubt......but God is faithful and is showing me that if I walk with Him and know Him and live for Him, He is my true source of power and life! This is all definitely easier said than done, but I just felt like I needed to share with you all what God is doing in my life right now! He is teaching me, stretching me, making me trust Him more, to prepare me for something.

Once again, I love and miss you all and would love to hear from you!

In Him,
Steph
