Ups and Downs

Well, the first weekend is past and now I've started the first full week of school. This weekend was good and bad at the same time. I got two e-mails with difficult news that was hard to read. I think God is teaching me through this how to depend on Him above everything else. He is also showing me how much He loves me. I was just reading the other morning in Zephaniah 3 about how God delights in His children and rejoices over them. Just thinking about that has enough power to put everything into perspective. Anyways, please pray for me as I discover this truth more.
The weekend was fun too. I got to hang out with some of the teachers at the school and get to know them a little bit better. I was at the mall 4 different times this weekend, which was interesting. (The mall is not just clothing stores; it also has a big grocery store, many restaurants, and a bank.)
On Sunday I went to church with my friends the Ketchams. :) Afterwards I got to spend time with Liz (their daughter) at the mall. We tried to go bowling, but there was a really long wait. We ended up just going clothes shopping. She took me to this shop that has brands from America but at really cheap prices!
Oh, and today's Bible lesson went well! It was just a memory verse activity, but I think the kids had fun, and I did too!
