God is just working in so many ways in my life right now. i absolutely adore every second of it. things with mykel are going better than i ever had intentions for. for the first time i can comfortably share my faith with the person i'm going out with and they also give me encouragement from theirs. i'm not saying that things would be so wonderful if God weren't involved....because they wouldn't. but He is involved..He's the center..and even though i have to be reminded of that sometimes it's the best relationship i've ever had. i just got back from eldon. i miss him and this is going to be really hard...but not impossible. i bought a new bible! it's in the new living translation. i'm so excited b/c it has a concordence and great verses to memorize and great books of the bible and whatnot. plus i got a case for it. i can't wait to learn more. :) take care guys & girls! love & God bless you, ♥manda
