Home......
ahhhhh. I arrived into Traverse City, Michigan on the 4th of July of 2004- and the van is in good condition. ONLY THE LORD COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS....
"not by my might or by power, but by MY SPIRIT- says the LORD"----only by His grace and mercy did my old, 1984 Toyota van, make it across 5 states, half way across America..... seriously, I have nobody else to thank, except for the Lord on HIGH....
He is the Alpha and Omega (the starter and beginner)
He is the Great I AM (everything, everywhere,- Omni-Present, Omniscient, Omnipotent...etc.)
He is the Lover of my Soul (My First Love)
He is my Abba Father (daddy)

and I am his daughter, his love and his disciple, his servant, his warrior, his desire.....

there is really nothing else more I can grasp right now....other than I am at home and I've made it! I've really made it.

There's something more though....the Lord is still doing stuff over here- like he still has more planned....Not that i just crossed over America, into Michigan and am home, finally- but he has a plan for me now that I'm here!

It's yucky right now, inside the house, cuz tom and mom smoke inside and it's everywhere, in the computer room, in the other room that i'm gonna sleep in (YUCK!)-in the living room, in the kitchen....it's stinky everywhere now...it's in the air and i can't stand it...! SO----I've talked to Pam and Dave, the people that Amber lives with right now and they're asking 450 for an apartment that they're gonna rent out...and it's got a "living area", a bedroom, a little kitchen area, and bathroom- and it's hooked onto their house- but i think that's really asking a lot for a smaller apt. like that...so i'm just praying that they'll hook me up, like they did Amber, but i don't wanna rip them off either- i'm just thinking- financially, would i be able to pay 450?.....not right now- that's for sure, but I put it out there, and asked them about it, so at least they know i'm interested, and it's right on a lake! Spider Lake! But it's really so far away...I mean, outta the way- cuz it's like a 15 minute drive out to the downtown area of TC, and i don't know if i'd wanna do that, once i got a job...but oH~WELL. I'll ask my papa and see what he wants to do- and listen to his voice carefully cuz i could jump to my own conclusions...
OH, yeah- weird thing...my grandpa- Dad's dad,- is giving all his grandchildren 200 dollars...weird blessing and weird that i'm just "showing up" in time for this blessing too?! i just feel weird about it. But, it's definately needed...and i can't believe Grandpa is in a nursing home...man those places certainly suck the life right outta you...i hate those...i hope to take care of mom- that's if I CAN..and dad- IF I CAN...hopefully...May the Lord do what he wants to do- in that area....
and i've just got tons of stuff to do once i get all my stuff in, i just HOPE that Tom or mom don't smoke in my ROOM...cuz if they do, i'll just be like "Okay, i understand this is your house, and it's still your room- but I'd like to breath fresh air if you don't mind"- it's just gross, i can smell it everywhere... and If they care less about what i hafta say- (or tom would care less, that is...mom DOES care, but she can't really do anything about this)- so, I will just tell them straight up, "okay, then i'll be moving out soon"- and find an emergency place to sleep.
So, all is well right now. it's a bit drizzly outside right now, and it's weird to think that i'm in Michigan...I'm really awake right now, so i don't think i'll fall asleep till 12:00 or so tonight.
and i gotta find an orthodontist in the area...
but Ciao for now, cuz i gott up date my resume and type a cover letter.
the sweet spring song.
