e così. ancora!
Tomorrow morning marks a new week! And I am excited for the new week to come, it' s also soon to be March! So tomorrow come quick! At the moment, all is good! It's like you can see the clouds moving and the sun poking up, a little bit more each day that comes. Another reminder that good good things are coming around the corner! So, tomorrow is lunedì lunedì. And I am happy for that, God's goodness is incredible. I love him so much!

In the waiting line.
And in his due time, all things shall be as they are and come to pass! Keep praying dear friends! Keep pouring out your heart before Him, He cares so much about you!
Tonight we had our first home group session and I was so blessed. Thank you Jesus! I loved being at Jeff & Bonnie's house with everyone. The bummer is that most of us are ill! So pray for us to get better quickly!! I hope I don't have another fever tonight!
Love to you all!

Nothing Sweeter!
Than the beautiful and precious name of Jesus Christ. My heart is satisfied when I shall awake in His likeness. Do you know the hymn: Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus ?
" How I love to trust in Jesus
Just to trust His cleansing blood
Just in simply faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood
I'm so glad I learned to trust Him,
precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that He is with me,
He'll be with me to the end. "
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus what a beautiful name. Sweeter than honey to my lips!
Ciao Ciao!

e così.
Hello dear friends!
Here we are in the month of February already! How fast the time flies! (I think I say that just about every month!) This semester: Spring 2008 is going to be our largest yet and we start tomorrow with our Orientation. Monday we will officially begin with instruction and the normal way of things around here. As a staff we are blessed this time around having so many staff and everyone really being so helpful. It isn't nearly as stressful as it could have been preparing the last couple of days. So far, so good! So please continue your encouraging prayers for us as staff and for the students as well. One exciting thing that happened today was that it snowed! I woke up this morning to snow outside my window and it was lovely! And so for now things are going really great. God is so good to His beloved children! And on another note, whether by a close personal situation or just a reflection of things happening in the world; the Lord has been really impressing upon my heart the urgency for people to not waste any more precious time apart from truly knowing the One who died for them, Jesus Christ. And if by chance there is someone out there who might come across this little blog and read this entry, I hope you know of the immense and unconditional love Jesus has for you and that He is the propitiation for your sin; once and for all. His blood is the only way to be cleansed from all your sin. The time is now! Let me encourage you through something I read:
"Without the shedding of blood is no remission."—Hebrews 9:22.
HIS is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish ceremonies were sins, even typically, removed without blood-shedding. In no case, by no means can sin be pardoned without atonement. It is clear, then, that there is no hope for me out of Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding which is worth a thought as an atonement for sin. Am I, then, believing in Him? Is the blood of His atonement truly applied to my soul? All men are on a level as to their need of Him. If we be never so moral, generous, amiable, or patriotic, the rule will not be altered to make an exception for us. Sin will yield to nothing less potent than the blood of Him whom God hath set forth as a propitiation. What a blessing that there is the one way of pardon! Why should we seek another?
Persons of merely formal religion cannot understand how we can rejoice that all our sins are forgiven us for Christ's sake. Their works, and prayers, and ceremonies, give them very poor comfort; and well may they be uneasy, for they are neglecting the one great salvation, and endeavouring to get remission without blood. My soul, sit down, and behold the justice of God as bound to punish sin; see that punishment all executed upon thy Lord Jesus, and fall down in humble joy, and kiss the dear feet of Him whose blood has made atonement for thee. It is in vain when conscience is aroused to fly to feelings and evidences for comfort: this is a habit which we learned in the Egypt of our legal bondage. The only restorative for a guilty conscience is a sight of Jesus suffering on the cross. "The blood is the life thereof," says the Levitical law, and let us rest assured that it is the life of faith and joy and every other holy grace. -C.H. Spurgeon
"Oh! how sweet to view the flowing
Of my Saviour's precious blood;
With divine assurance knowing
He has made my peace with God."
