<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">10 days ago it was Sunday morning at GYC in Louisville, Kentucky. (Is it just me, or does it seem like a lot longer than that?)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">At 4 o'clock that Sunday morning I rolled out of bed and started to prep for an event I had been looking forward to for six months - the Mission 5K. All weekend I had been making sure to stay hydrated, over Christmas break I had run a couple 5Ks with my dad to make sure I was up to speed (side note: my dad dragged me out in 20 degree weather to run on unplowed, snowy roads with all our snow gear on...I have the coolest dad!), I had brought my favorite running shoes and clothes, and I had arranged to have friends pick me up on the way to the race since I am TERRIBLE with directions... Everything was ready, and I was stoked! </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">You see, the Mission 5K was my mile marker of victory. Victory over a debilitating ankle injury that had kept me from running, and sometimes from even walking, for two years. Since my surgery in July I had been learning to stand, to slowly walk, to speed walk, to jog lightly, and finally, in just the last couple weeks, to run and jump freely without pain. And since that surgery I had been counting the weeks till the Mission 5K, tracking my progress, and praying that God would heal me in time. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Though I'd hardly slept at all the night before, I jumped out of bed on January 3rd praising the Lord for a recovery I had doubted possible, and praying for safety as I would run my first post-injury race. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">But the race didn't happen for me. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Through a complicated chain of events my friends were unable to pick me up, and I ended up running all over the place looking for the starting line. I desperately cried to God to help me, and truly trusted He would work it all out, until I finally did find the starting line and saw with my own eyes that the race was over. As I stood there and congratulated my many friends who had run, I could barely hold in my tears of bitter heartache and disappointment. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">I ran back to my hotel, and as soon as I was alone the tears and questions came in a flood. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">What was God's purpose in this?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Why didn't my friends come for me?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">How could this work out for good? </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">In the midst of those questions and the aching of my disappointed heart Jesus came near to me, and His presence brought me joy. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Not only did He give me His joy, but He also gave me a verse of a poem to encourage me.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That bit of poem led me to search His Word, and that search resulted in more verses of poetry and a refrain. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Here are some of the passages I studied, and below is the poem He gave me:</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">though the path be dark with loss</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">For if with Him we suffer </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">and daily bear His cross</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Then we can claim His promise </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">of constant victory</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">And glory that cannot compare </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">with present agony. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Fear not, my friends. In this world we will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, our Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33). </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on...But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and if, as ye seek, ye suffer with Him, so ye may also be glorified with Him. For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the glory that will be revealed to us...and all these things shall be added unto you. - (<i>my combination of </i>Luke 12 & Romans 8)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit;">Have no doubt. He will give you the Kingdom. </span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Have you heard the voice of Jesus</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">calling to your heart today? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">Answer Him and join the battle;</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">march with Him into the fray. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Do you know that God has chosen,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">chosen you, His name to bear? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">Let your light shine for His glory;</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">give your life His love to share. </span></div>

<i>My apologies to those of you who don't understand horses...some of this may be confusing to you, but I hope you can still catch the lesson I learned the other day while working with a friend's horse. </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
...................................................................................................................................................................</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Dia would not move.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I watched her ears and felt her muscles tense and relax under my seat as I tried to understand why she wasn't getting what I was communicating. We had no saddle between us to interfere with my signals, and her hackamore fit just fine. I looked where I wanted to go and asked again. Loose, open reins, a firm but gentle squeeze...nothing. Open reins, squeeze, and a click with my tongue. Her ears flicked back towards me but her feet didn't even shift. Again, but stronger: reins, legs, voice, and seat. Still nothing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being one of my first times working with Dia, I expected that we might have a couple small misunderstandings, but I had thought it would be easier than this. Ground work with her was nearly flawless. She joined up with me pretty well and walked by me like a shadow as we worked in the round pen. I knew there were no physical problems with her as I had just examined her all over and only found a hint of healing thrush in her front hooves. There was no reason for Dia to not be walking forward. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided to try again but added leverage to my list of signals. Sliding my hand down the right rein I pulled Dia's nose toward her shoulder. As her neck curved to the right I gave a slight squeeze with my legs and again used every signal I had to ask her to start walking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She took a step! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
...but as soon as I let up on the reins and straightened her out she stopped again. So we did the neck stretch and signal method again but in the other direction. A few more steps. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gradually, one step to the right, two steps left, three to the right, one step left, and so on, we started to move forward. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After a little more work we ended on a good note, I hopped off, and Dia was able to go where she had wanted to go the whole time - back to her hot dusty pasture. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But I was disappointed. Just down the hill from where we had worked on baby steps was a pond that would have been perfect to take Dia swimming in. It was a hot day, and I knew that both Dia and I love water. If she had only cooperated we could have spent that half hour chilling in the pond together instead of dancing back and forth under the blazing sun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I scuffed back to the tack shed a verse drifted through my mind...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>"Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you..." (Ps. 32:9).</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If only Dia had understood that I simply wanted her to walk us down the hill to the fresh, cool pond, I know she would have gladly pranced forward. Yet because she didn't know where I wanted to take her, even with a bridle we could only train when I'd had so much planned.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts..." (Is. 55:9).</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How often do I behave just like Dia? My God, whose thoughts and plans are far beyond my understanding, works with me daily. He knows everything about me, and He does all He can to communicate with me. Yet sometimes I seem not to hear. My narrow view of life does not include the wonderful ideals and brilliant goals that God wants to attain with me. So when He asks me to move forward, I hesitate, and we start our little dance. He works with me where I will listen and grows me where I will obey until we slowly start to head in the direction He initially intended. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But do I miss or postpone some of His blessings because of my unwillingness to go forward?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I watch Dia stand in the sun, swatting pesky flies with her thick tail, I humbly surrender my disappointed heart to my own Master that I'm sure I have disappointed many times. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<i>"Dear Father, Your patience and love for me amaze me. Your plans are beyond what I can imagine. Though I can't always fathom the full picture, I want to listen and obey immediately the first time You speak. I don't want to be like the horse or mule... I want to follow You to Plan A, not force You to lead me to Plan B... Please, don't stop training me. Keep me in Your fold and under Your care. I love You (because You first loved me). Amen."</i></div>

In one sentence, my entire picture of Christ was broadened and ennobled. What wondrous, unfathomable love - that He could love the repentant sinner more than one unfallen!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In March of 1889, Sister White wrote in her diary:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>If all who commit wrongs would feel that Jesus loves us more dearly for the temptation that has been yielded to and confessed, than if there had been no error, no breach in the armor! – {1888 273.1}</b></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Praise the Lord! For He loves even me!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you made a mistake or tripped up along the way? Have you turned off the upward path, dazzled by the pleasures of the world? In your heart, is there a secret fear that you have gone too far, been too bad, are too defiled to come before your God?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Cast off your fear and run to Jesus, for He loves you! He loves you more dearly now than He ever has before. His arms are open to you, calling you back from the darkness into the glorious hope of His love and light.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What love! That He who gave up all of heaven to live and die miserably, should love us more who caused His pain...</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">What wondrous love is this! Oh my soul, oh my soul!</span><br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
The sun was setting
on His life,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
The end was coming
fast.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
He felt the shadow of
the cross;</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
This supper was his
last.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
With loving hands He
acted out, </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
An illustration
clear:</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
How God had served
and given all</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
To draw the sinner
near.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
As Peter, John, and
Judas fought, </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
And sought the
highest place,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Their Master knelt
and washed their feet:</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
What they had thought
disgrace.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
His condescension
broke their hearts;</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
They saw their pride
and sin.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
He washed more than
their filthy feet,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
He cleansed the heart
within.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
All twelve disciples
were with Christ</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
For more than three
whole years,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
And yet they still
were subject to </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Pride, doubt, and
human fears.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
We too have seen
Christ through His Word,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
By faith His name we
bear,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
But do our hearts
reveal His love?</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Or is self cherished
there?</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Let each of us draw
near to Christ;</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Walk humbly with our
God.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
He’ll cleanse the
temple of our heart;</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
We’ll walk where He
has trod.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Then only are we all
prepared</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
To take the bread and
wine,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Christ’s broken body
and His blood,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Portrayed in sacred
sign.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Christ gave His body
for our sins,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
His blood was spilled
in love;</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
And by His perfect
sacrifice</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
He’ll carry us above.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Before the Father on
His throne</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
We now stand washed
from sin;</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
Communion then will
be restored</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
As we remember Him.</div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;">My breath seemed to add more clouds to the foggy
darkness as I went on my early-morning run. Coming out of the dorm, it had not
seemed too dark, and I had left my flashlight behind, but as I emerged from the
circles of light that glowed around lampposts and buildings, the darkness and
fog closed in thicker than I had anticipated. The paved path blended with the
wet ground; only the firmness of the cement assured me of the correct course. I
was just starting to pull out my phone to use as a flashlight, when the thumping
of my steps turned to crunching. Without even realizing it, I had gone off the
path. Quickly, I tapped on my flashlight app, and a bright beam of light showed
me my surroundings. Now I easily found my way back to my running rout. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Without
the light, I could not see the way, and I stepped off the path. Without Christ,
“the light of the world,”<sup>1</sup> I can not see spiritually, and I will
step off His path. Throughout the Bible, Christ is referred to as the “light of
the world.”<sup>2</sup> He brings spiritual sight and understanding to His
followers, just as light brings physical sight. He is the One who shows the way
to heaven. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Still,
the parallels between Christ and light go deeper. Christ has a dual nature. He
is fully human and fully divine. Visible light also has a dual nature: particle
and wave. Young’s double-slit experiment is an example of this. Young showed
that light has a wave-like nature by shining a single beam of light through a
screen containing two slits and on to another screen. When the light passed
through the slits it shone a pattern on the last screen. There were alternating
bands of light and dark on the screen; called an interference pattern. This can
be explained by the wave-like nature of light: where light waves meet
trough-to-trough and crest-to-crest when they hit the screen, they amplify each
other, but where troughs and crests meet, they cancel each other, causing the
dark bands on the screen.<sup>3</sup> Yet, on closer examination, Young’s
experiment showed the particle nature of light as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Even
when only one photon of light at a time is shone at the double-slit screen,
over a period of time, the interference pattern still shows up, exemplifying
that light behaves as a wave. The only exception to this is when the slits are
closely observed to find out which slit each photon passes through. If each
photon is watched closely, light stops traveling like a wave and starts
traveling like single particles.<sup>4</sup> The interference pattern
disappears, and only two bands of light show up on the final screen. Simply by
close observation, light’s particle properties can be observed, but at the same
time, its wave-like properties disappear. Somehow, light is both a wave and a
particle, but scientists still do not fully understand how this can be. The
whole picture can not be observed or understood all at once. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Christ’s
dual nature is something that we can not fully grasp now either. We can see
from His Word that He is fully God and fully man, but how He can be both at the
same time is beyond our understanding. As Ellen White says:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty
unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>hell; what canst thou know?” “My
thoughts<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>are not your thoughts,
neither are your<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>ways My ways,
saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>the earth, so are My ways higher than
your<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>ways, and My thoughts than
your thoughts.” “I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from
the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done.” It is
impossible for the finite minds of men to fully comprehend the character or the
works of the Infinite One. To the keenest<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>intellect,
to the most powerful and highly educated mind, that holy Being must ever remain
clothed in mystery.”<sup>5</sup> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> “Now we see through a glass, darkly; but
then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am
known.”<sup>6</sup> Right now, looking through finite eyes of faith, we can not
fully know God, but one day, when we see Him face to face, we will know Him
with the same depth that He knows us. Yet, even though we can not fully know
Him now, just as we do not fully understand light, He is still the only Light
that can illuminate our path in this dark world. He is, “the light of the
world.”<sup>7</sup> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Calibri;"><i><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Since
childhood, I’ve loved playing with magnets. When I was six, my mom bought me a
magnet set, and soon I was deep into my own childlike experiments. How close
could the negative end of a magnet get to a positive end without them colliding?
Why did a magnet run away when I pointed the positive end of my magnet wand
toward its positive end? Attraction and repulsion were my playmates, and any magnetic
metal was my toy. I would try to wrestle two positive magnets together for
hours, but I could never overcome the force that drove them apart. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Similar attraction and repulsion
powers go on in everything around us. Atoms, the building blocks of our world,
are made up of three main particles: positive protons, neutral neutrons, and negative
electrons. Knowing this, one would assume that the positive protons and
negative electrons would be attracted to each other and balance each other out.
J. J. Thomson even made a model in which he pictured “small electrons to be
embedded in the atom much like raisins in a pudding or seeds in a watermelon.”<sup>1</sup>
However, a scientist named Rutherford made a surprising discovery: “The results
from Rutherford’s experiment were astounding…The only model of the atom
consistent with this Rutherford experiment is that a small central core (the
nucleus) houses the positive charge and most of the mass of the atom,</span> <span style="font-family: Calibri;">while the majority of the atom’s volume contains
discrete electrons orbiting about the central nucleus.”<sup>2</sup><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Although science still has much to
learn about the atom, the mystery of the nucleus was greatly unveiled by <st1:place w:st="on">Rutherford</st1:place>’s work. Since then, scientists have discovered
the “strong force,” which holds the nucleus together. Nuclear particles
interact “through the strong, short range nuclear force, which is responsible
for the binding of these particles in atomic nuclei.”<sup>3</sup><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> This holding together of opposing
forces by a single strong force can also be seen in the spiritual realm. The
protons are truth, and Christ is the strong force that holds it together. Just
as two true protons repel each other, opposing truths repel each other while
both remaining true. “Truth is by nature paradoxical; that is, it always
contains balancing principles.”<sup>4</sup> Examples of these dipolar truths
are: the invisible vs. the visible, abstract vs. concrete, and subjective vs.
objective. Specific dipolarities are God’s
hatred of sin and love of sinners, His unending grace and immutable law, and Christ’s
simultaneous complete divinity and complete humanity. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Yet, in Christ’s embodiment of
humanity and divinity, we see truth lived out. He says, “I am the way, the
truth, and the life…”<sup>5</sup> Satan has tried to twist the truth and place
God’s character traits of grace and justice against each other, but Christ came
to rejoin those truths: </span><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Calibri;">“Satan represents<span class="apple-converted-space"> God’s
law </span>of love as a<span class="apple-converted-space"> law </span>of
selfishness. He declares that it is impossible for us to obey its precepts. The
fall of our first parents, with all the woe that has resulted, he charges upon
the Creator, leading men to look upon<span class="apple-converted-space"> God </span>as
the author of sin, and suffering, and death. Jesus was to unveil this
deception. As one of us He was to give an example of obedience…As He went about
doing good, and healing all who were afflicted by Satan, He made plain to men
the character of<span class="apple-converted-space"> God’s law </span>and
the nature of His service. His life testifies that it is possible for us also
to obey the law<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>of God.<span class="apple-converted-space">”<sup>6</sup></span><span class="reference"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span class="reference"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: Calibri; padding: 0in;"> Through a loving life of perfect
obedience to God’s law, Christ holds together the “protons” of God’s grace and
law. </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not only that, but “b</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">y His humanity, Christ touched humanity; by His divinity, He lays hold
upon the throne of<span class="apple-converted-space"> God</span>. As the
Son of man, He gave us an example of obedience; as the Son of God, He gives us
power to obey.”<sup>7</sup> Through Christ, truth is unified, and through
Truth, I am set free. <sup>8</sup> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Calibri;"><i><span style="background-color: black;">One of the classes that I am taking at Weimar College this semester is general chemistry. As a part of this class I get to write three devotionals with object lessons that are drawn from chemistry. I've decided I should share them on here, especially since my posts have been so few and far between lately. May God bless you all!</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Calibri;"><i><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Generally, by the end of the day, I am tired, have
worked hard, and my to-do list is still has at least a couple stubborn items
left that were not accomplished. No matter how much I do, there is always
more. With the busyness of the modern
age, and especially since the rise of technology, most people in this world
have experienced a never ending to-do list. Nature, however, seems to show us a
different example; an example of being able to accomplish more than expected. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> One place we see this example is in
aqueous solutions. Many reactions will only take place when dissolved in water,
when they are aqueous. Three types of these aqueous reactions are redox
reactions, acid-base neutralization, and precipitation reactions.<sup>1</sup> Not
long ago, I discovered an interesting phenomenon with one of these reactions.
While writing out and comparing the theoretical and actual data of an
experiment I had just run, I found that the actual percent yield of my product
was greater than the theoretical percent yield. Perplexed, I started to wonder
if there was an error in my math. Finding none, I began to discuss with several
of my classmates who had also discovered this problem. It turns out, what we
experienced is to be expected when working with aqueous solutions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Extra calculations must be made to
account for the presence of water when using aqueous solutions. For accurate
measurements, products from the reaction must be dried before weighing.
Otherwise, the mass of the water in the product will be added to the mass of
the product itself, skewing the data. In our reaction, one product was a
liquid, and the other was the solid that had supposedly been produced in larger
quantities than chemically possible. To measure the mass of the solid product,
we had to physically remove it from the liquid and weigh it. When we did this,
we let the product dry off before being weighed, but it did not dry long
enough. The extra mass in our data was showing up because there was still water
in our product. We discovered that, with water present in a reaction, it’s
quite possible to achieve a percent yield greater than 100% because of the
presence of hard-to-remove water in the products. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: white;"> Chemistry is not the only place
where this phenomenon takes place. In our daily work, it is possible to do more
than we think. When, like chemicals that dissociate in water<sup>2</sup>, we
let go of self and are surrounded by the Holy Spirit, the work done in us will
bring forth a spirit-filled product that is much greater than we ever could
have accomplished. Just as the reactants will do nothing until both are placed
in an aqueous environment, humanity can do nothing of its own power. It is not
until we are brought in contact with the water, the Holy Spirit, that change
takes place in us. The sinful, human heart can only be changed when saturated
and dissolved by the Holy Spirit. Then, when we work with the Holy Spirit, our
labours will be more fruitful than they ever could have been had we worked on
our own, just like the reaction that yields more than 100% in the presence of
water. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> We
do not need to become discouraged when the work we have to do is more than we
can humanly bear. God has given us a precious promise: “Now to Him who is able
to do exceedingly<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>abundantly<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>above<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>all
that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”<sup>3<i> </i></sup>When
we are surrendered to the Holy Spirit, His “power that works in us” will do
“exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.”</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> “There is <i>no limit</i> to the usefulness of one
who, by putting self aside, makes room for the working of the Holy Spirit upon
his heart and lives a life wholly consecrated to God.”<sup>4</sup> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">It's been a long time since I posted on here. Sorry about that. Here's a lesson that the Lord taught me today. I just had to share it. :)</span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Five days ago I was at the beach. It was a warm day for the
beginning of October, and I had just come from body surfing in the frothy
waves. Nearly all the students from my college were relaxing on the beach, and
I joined a group who were playing hacky-sack on the sticky, wet sand near the
water. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">As we tossed the hacky-sack around, I started to think that
playing this game in the sand might not be such a good idea. Several times I
almost kicked sand into my eyes, but thanks to quick reflexes, my eyelids blinked
shut just before the sand hit my face. I decided to play just a little longer
before hitting the waves again, but the next time I kicked the ball, my left
eyelid was not fast enough. A chunk of sand, about the size of half a teaspoon,
flew straight into my eye. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">For the rest of the afternoon several of my friends
(including staff members who were doctors) tried all they could to clean out my
eye. By the end of the day, they had poured three full water bottles and about
half a bottle of saline solution through my eye. After all that, we were sure
we must have gotten all the sand out. I had stopped crying sandy tears, but my
eye still didn’t feel good. It burned, and every time I moved it or closed it
or blinked, it hurt. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">As the days went by, my eye appeared less red and irritated. I started to think that maybe I was imagining the pain, or that I was
a wimp or a hypochondriac. Back at college, when I passed people in the hall,
they would say things like, “Glad to see your eye’s looking better!” or “The
eye looks healed up!” but I didn’t feel as good as I looked. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Still, I felt no need to go to the doctor. I had friends on
the beach who were doctors, and they said my eye looked fine. I had scratched
my cornea before, and it had healed on its own after a while, so I figured
that’s what had happened this time too. I didn’t think there was anything the
doctor could tell me that I didn’t already know. I didn’t think he could help. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">But even though I ignored it, my eye tortured me.
Unexpectedly, I would blink or look at something quickly, and my eye would
start to itch and water with pain. I couldn’t sleep at night because it was too
painful to close my eyes. I was exhausted. Finally, while talking to my mom on
the phone, I admitted that after four days, my eye hadn’t gotten any better. Immediately
she insisted that I go see the doctor. I laughed and said I would go, just to
please her, but I doubted the doctor would find anything wrong. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">This morning I went to the doctor, and he took a single grain
of clear sand out of my eye. He saw what no one else could see and did what no
one else could do. He believed me when I said it hurt, and he healed me. He
helped me free of charge. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">The grain of sand had been tucked under my upper eyelid,
hidden away, just like sin is hidden in my heart. No one can see the small sins
in my heart, and no one could see the small piece of sand in my eye. I may
think I’m a good person, and other people may think I am a true Christian, but
sin can hide in places that only Jesus, the Great Physician, can see. I may not
feel my need of Christ, just as I didn’t feel the need of a doctor, but only
Christ can remove the sharp grain of sin from my heart. Only He can know how I
feel deep inside; only He can offer relief. He offers it free of charge. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span class="textluke-6-39"><i>“And He spoke a parable to them:</i></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><i> </i></span><span class="woj"><i>‘Can the blind lead

<span class="woj"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">I didn’t see the problem with my eye, and it took me five days to
come to the doctor for help. How often do I not see the plank of sin in my own
life, and how long does it take me to admit my need of Jesus? Only He can heal
me from sin. May I always be quick to come to Him for help, even for freedom
from the smallest unseen sins. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<p>Due to the sale of my laptop as well as the busyness of life, I will not be posting as much over the next week or so. Once I have returned home and settled in, I'll be sure to update you all again. Please keep me in your prayers as I travel. </p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>Katie :)</p>

All we have left in school is a final math test and a final social studies test. Praise God! This school year looked humanly impossible so many times. Thankfully, my Savior specializes in the impossible, and He has brought us through with flying colors. He is amazing! </p>
<p>Now comes the flurry of packing and cleaning and flying home, and I'm so excited. Yet, in my time here, I've gained another set of grandparents, a little brother, an uncle, an entire church family, and many many friends. I don't think I can yet fully realize how much I will miss this place. </p>
<p>However, I am eager to see what God has in store for the future. I know it will include more learning and growing because school always includes those things, and this earth is a school. Jesus is the best teacher, and He knows just what it takes to pass the final test, so I trust Him to prepare me in His way. Still, I can't wait for the day when the last heart will understand, the last mind will see clearly, the final choice of multiple choices will be made, and all who pass the final test will go home forever. </p>
<p>With Christ as my teacher and study partner and friend, I don't have to worry about the final test test (He's also the one who grades the tests). I know that He will prepare me well, and in the end, I'll pass by His sweat and blood. </p>
<p>Praise the Lord! We're already in the end of the year crunch time! Can you feel it? This training school is almost finished, and soon we will go home! </p>
<p>Study carefully! Listen closely to the Teacher's voice! Diligently do your assignments. The final exam is coming soon. Let's all be ready for that last day of school. </p>
<p>Praise the Lord!</p>

Here He reveals the secret to His perfect life: "the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." To me this is incredible. That Jesus, who, though fully human, was yet fully God, would rely on His Father for every word and every work.

All who will go to work, trusting not in what they themselves can do, but in what God can do for and through them, will certainly realize the fulfillment of His promise.

After I had baked the cakes, I went to Birthday Party I, and when we got back, I set to work decorating my masterpiece. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a camping themed party, we figured a campfire would make a good cake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attempted to make flames out of white chocolate (the only non-vegan component of the cake...but the cake wasn't for me to eat anyway, it was for the birthday boy. So, I did what made him happy).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the white chocolate was melted and dyed, I spread it out on wax paper and stuck it in the freezer to harden. I think there's still some left, but Miguel doesn't need to know that... ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the way, melting white chocolate is not the easiest thing to do - especially on a funky gas stove like the one we have. Also, um, steam is really hot... :-/ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If any of you would like the recipe, it's pretty simple: cockroach legs, fly wings, dragonfly eyeballs and caterpillar guts. If you don't have fresh cockroaches in your area, you may replace them with dried ones and some extra water. You may also try substituting with another insect, but I can't guarantee that the flavor will be quite right.</div>

Can you see the clouds? There were storms going on over the hills around us, but we had our own little patch of sunshine. Praise the Lord! The storms around us even sent us cool breeze that was so relieving as we trekked along. hmmm Even storms can bring good things to those who are following the map and are on the right path... There are so many spiritual lessons to be learned on treasure hunts...</div>

Under three crosses, the scouts finished their last challenge. Their final challenge turned out to be building several mini lego sets and bringing them back to the main camp in one piece, however, we adjusted the rules a bit and ended up giving at least half of the lego sets away to some local children who were also hiking. That's the way to do a treasure hunt. :)</div>

Lucky for these kids though, I'm a generous Candy Queen, and each child was given an equal amount of candy in the end. Now that I think of it...this candy distributing sounds a little communist...Everyone has to bring the candy they find to me and then I hand it out "evenly." </div>

I left my phone at home this morning and was away all day. Since my phone contains my only camera, I could not take any pictures. I will post pictures of today's events when I have received them from friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This morning I woke up exhausted and feeling like I had a cold, but after a chat with my family and a hot and cold shower, I felt much better. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sermon at church this week was a downloaded sermon by Shawn Boonstra about the judgement. Most of it was things I have heard and studied before, but I was very glad for the review, and it linked in well with Sabbath school. I have really appreciated this quarter of the adult Sabbath school lesson because it has really made me think and has made me look more deeply at who my God really is. Today we talked about Zephaniah, and one thing that I'm still thinking about is his name. His name and message are tied together. His name means "hidden by God," and His message is one of warning and calling for God's people to<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> "Seek the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord...</span>Seek righteousness, seek humility...." Why? "It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>’s anger," (Zeph. 2:3 NKJV).</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Judah had utterly turned from God, and yet God is so gentle with them. As He warns them of the consequences to come, He pleads with the just to seek Him so that they may be hidden, and He also sends a promise in the name of His prophet. What better way is there to escape the wrath of God than to be hidden by God himself? That is what God offered them, and what He offers us too. Even though, as a whole, Judah rejected God's mercy and was punished, Zephaniah's book still ends with promises to the remnant. Those promises extend to us too. Even though our world as a whole has rejected Christ, our Father still offers His people a hiding place during the hard times to come. There are so many other things that I learned from Zephaniah, but it's too late for me to write them now. I actually started writing a whole other paragraph about it, but instead I'm just going to tell you to go study Zephaniah and all the other minor prophets for yourself. God is amazing...in every book of the Bible.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sadly, this weekend is my last weekend with the pastor and his family here, so I was very happy to go to their house for lunch and the afternoon. While Ivonne put the finishing touches on the table, I was "mommy" for baby Alyssia and "narrator" for William's Wolf, Mr. Horse, and Mr. Lizard games (Being narrator means that I tell the story while the toys act it out, until William finds a part of the story that he wants to go a certain way, at which point he interjects, and then I go on with my narration. So funny!)We had rice with some of my favorite toppings (I'm going to miss tempe), and frozen bananas for dessert. Then I played with the kids some more and went over the hymn that I was going to play for the big occasion happening this afternoon: Miguel's baptism.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Miguel was baptized in his Adventurers uniform at Comoro beach with lots of friends from church and the community there to witness his decision. Once everyone had gathered and Miguel and his family were ready, Miguel's grandfather, Pastor Dias, had the opening prayer. Then everyone sang songs while I played violin and Pastor Wesley lead. After both the pastor and Miguel had spoken and Miguel had made his commitments, I played and everyone sang while the pastor and Miguel walked into the crashing waves. It was incredibly moving for me to play violin and listen to people singing around me as I watched him walk into the water and be baptized. Praise the Lord for Miguel's commitment and witness to his community. Angels sang today! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is the hymn I played for special music at Miguel's baptism. It's one of his favorites</span></div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">His brightness adorning,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They shall shine in their beauty,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bright gems for His crown.</span></div>

I am so happy that it is Friday! Today was my second to last Friday before going home. Crazy, eh? I can't believe it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a pretty relaxed school day this morning. Several subjects have finished up already, so things are starting to loosen up. In fact, Miguel didn't need me anymore by lunchtime, so I went and had lunch with some friends. They're the same one's that I went to the tropical island with a couple weeks ago (post in process), the one's with the kittens in their yard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, the four little kitties are only two little kitties now, but life is like that for street cats here in Timor. So sad. Of the two left, only one was brave enough to come say hello. The other one hid in the drain pipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mama and Mr. Friendly were hanging out together.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we put out a bowl of milk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first, no one was brave enough to come over and drink the milk, but eventually Mr. Friendly's curiosity was stronger than his fear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

To close the Sabbath we normally have a vespers program at home and invite people from Paulo's clinic and from church, but today we went to the final health seminar. Today the topic was finishing up malaria from the night before and reviewing the material taught each day this week. </div>

Here are three of the main people who made it all happen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pastor Inacio (local pastor and translator for the meetings), Joan (volunteer missionary and the one who demonstrated the natural remedies at the end of each meeting)...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Praise the Lord, the meetings seemed to go very well. Although there were not very many visitors, there were many church members, even from other districts, and I know that a lot of learning happened as a result of this seminar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please keep praying for the mission here in Timor. It is young and still growing, and due to the heavy influence of Catholicism, it is very difficult for people to become Seventh-day Adventist and to be able to continue to work and go to school once they have become SDA. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God bless you all, and may you have a peaceful and happy Sabbath!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is a national holiday in Timor-Leste. It's actually a catholic holiday, Corpus Christi or something like that, and catholic holidays are national holidays here. We don't celebrate catholic holidays, but Paulo does have work off on them, so they make great excuses to take a break and have some fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a good thing we had today off because yesterday's party was Latino style and went quite late. I think it must have been close to ten in the morning by the time everyone had eaten breakfast and we had finished family worship. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After worship I went back to my apartment to write a couple emails and do some research. When I was done, I took a peek outside, and Paulo and Miguel were playing in the pool with Miguel's new inflatable raft (got it for his bday). I just had to join them! We splashed around for a while, and I did some laps too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we were done in the pool I talked to my family a while, and then watched part of one of Miguel's new DVDs. He received several Christian DVDs for his birthday, and the one we watched today was Acts. I have it at home too. The movie script comes from the Bible, word for word. Miguel enjoyed it. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next came a seriously needed nap.<br />
Except, I'm not very good at napping. So, it was more like an attempt at a nap.<br />
<br />
By the time I was bored of trying to nap, it was time to head off to a going away party that some of my friends threw for me.<br />
<br />
Almost every single dish at supper was gluten free and vegan! Anita even found gf bread for me! I was quite amazed. :)<br />

We had a very nice time talking about the past, the future, Timor, home, and just laughing together. Praise the Lord for good friends. Some of these people are the homeschool moms that I normally meet with on Mondays and their families, others have been my brave exercise companions at Christo Rei at 5:30 in the morning (I used to walk the stairs there every morning but haven't this week cause I've been too busy. Going to start again next week though). Each of these people has played a part in supporting me while I've been here. I am so thankful to God for them! :)<br />

It was a lovely evening with lovely friends who I will miss very much and remember always.<br />
<br />
I finished the night with a very fitting drive home. The sky was clear, the stars were bright (especially the Southern Cross...going to miss that one), there was a cool sea breeze, and I got to have the Comoro Bridge II all to myself as I drove over it for the very first time.<br />
<br />
The Comoro Bridge II has been in construction, I think since about the time that I first came here in August. It was opened today, and I drove over it for the first time on my way home from my goodbye party. I don't know why, but it just seemed like a very fitting way to end today.<br />
<br />
<br />
Blessings to you all!<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

<br />
P.S. Sorry that there are fewer pictures today. There wasn't very much action... Thankfully! lol<br />

I started my day outside this morning, and it was so peaceful. I keep wavering back and forth about where I do my devotions. We have such a pretty compound that I hate to not do them outside, but there are so many bugs that I am often driven back to my room. This morning my only visitors were some cheerful black and white birds (too quick for pictures) and some red ants that I think were too tiny to bite. </div>

I'm not sure if it's because I'm trying to document everything this week, or what, but things are going really slowly in the school department. My poor student was sleepy again today, and we didn't even finish all the subjects we needed to do, but I gave him a break. I know he worked hard, and besides being tired, I think he was a little distracted. Today is his last day of being ten after all. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though things were really slow, I didn't get any school pictures...there wasn't much to take pictures of, I guess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This afternoon, however, there was lots going on. First off, I went grocery shopping for birthday food ingredients while my "little bro" was in tennis class. Here are some random shots of the shelves at the Lita grocery store. </div>

After tennis I dropped Miguel off at the pastor's house to have a final baptismal meeting (Miguel's getting baptized this Sabbath!!! Praise the Lord! I'm so very excited!). Then I ran around and got a few more groceries, and then zipped home to make the icing for his birthday cake (someone's got a special day tomorrow!).</div>

I think the class holds approximately one cup-ish, the bigger spoon could be about a tablespoon, and the small spoon had to suffice as a teaspoon. These are what I use to measure every time I cook. Mostly though, I just eye-ball it.</div>

<br /></div>

Unfortunately I didn't have time to take a pic of the finished product, but if I remember, I'll show you tomorrow. I was in such a hurry (had to pick up Miguel from the pastor's house), that I just made it all up, shoved it in the fridge, and ran out the door. I was still licking my fingers and brushing carob off my shirt as I was driving...lol!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I picked Miguel up, brought him home, he swallowed his supper, and then we hopped in the car to go to the health meetings. </div>

There was a tiny but very lovely sunset shortly after we arrived.</div>

Here's Miguel's messy desk. The green blob is Thinking Putty. It's supposed to help kinesthetic learners...I think it's a great toy...but...as for helping with school...hmmm...Let's just say I'm not convinced.</div>

I did manage to get a bit of work done on some materials for Miguel's birthday party on Sunday. This is the start of a compass for "pin the needle on the compass," instead of pin the tail on the donkey.</div>

This is something that I made today for Miguel to use in Bible class tomorrow. He's learning all the books of the Bible by memory. I'm so glad it's required by the textbook this period. I've been trying to motivate Miguel to memorize them all year, and it just hasn't worked. Yay! for textbook authority to back up the pleas of a teacher! </div>

In the afternoon we finished up some school, and then I took Miguel to a homeschool co-op play-date at the beach. Normally I stay and chat with the homeschool moms, but today I had to go fill the gas tank, pick up a DVD at the pastor's house to share with some friends tonight, and bring Paulo his lunch. Therefore, I just dropped Miguel off and went to run my errands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the evening, I went to a friend's house for a fun get together. The girl hosting is from New Zealand, there was another girl from Nigeria, and the three boys are brothers from Australia. We went for a swim, had dinner together, and played some games. It was nice. My favorite part, however, was showing them the DVD that I picked up at the pastor's house (Fountainview Academy's Help in Daily Living). They seemed to really appreciate it, and asked to borrow it another night. :) That made me really happy, and it was lovely to remember the good times in Hawaii again.</div>

I think everyone else enjoyed their pizza, but I'm sure my salad was the prettiest plate on the table. ;) I offered to share my luscious dish, but my friends said they didn't eat trees...well, that's fine, I don't eat Piglet...or Wilbur...or the Little Red Hen...lol :)</div>

My time in Timor-Leste is coming to a close. Exactly 14 days left, in fact. Sometimes as I think about the people and places here, time and effort and relationships, I feel like I've integrated so much as to have almost acquired a whole new "world." It's a bit difficult to put into words. It's kind of like, I belong here. Maybe more like, I could belong here, because I have no doubt about where home is, and I'm desperate to see my family again...and my friends too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Still, what I have experienced this year is something special that I never want to forget, so this week, I'm going to try to take the time to document a bit of my everyday life. I want to have something to look back on when I've re-immersed myself into the North American way of life...still not sure how that's going to work...but God will be with me there too. He's been my only stability here, and that won't ever change. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, here are some snapshots from today. I meant to start earlier in the day, but totally forgot. The first thing I did once I got my day started was say happy birthday to my mom over skype. :) Then we all had breakfast and Miguel and I worked on some math and social studies. </div>

Next, Paulo was called in to the clinic, and Miguel and Avô and I went along to see the new ambulance.</div>

I sat and watched this lady and her daughter for a while. We spoke a funny mix of Tetun, Portuguese, and English. It was so fun! I found out that her daughter is the same age as my sister, although you would never guess if you judged by height. The tais she is working on is in the traditional colors of Timor: red, black, yellow, and white. </div>

The Fomento Seventh-day Adventist church is having a health seminar this week!</div>

Today was the first day of the meetings, so it took a while for everything to be set up and ready. When everything was ready, we discovered that we would have to wait some more because the village chief hadn't arrived yet (I didn't get a picture of him because I didn't even realize who he was until he shook my hand as I left the meeting...oops!).</div>
