"Cleanliness is close to Godliness"

Umm...I don't know about that one...
I love a clean room. I really do, although you probably wouldn't have guessed it by looking at my room this summer. But I have what I consider a good excuse: two people living in a single dorm room during the chaos of summer makes it difficult to keep the tiny space clutter free. But last night I cleaned it up and it was great. My roomie came home to a clean room lit by candles and the silhouette of a girl playing guitar in the corner. The best part is that our room actually smells nice now. And baby powder on our sheets before bed....makes me feel like a little kid again when my mommy use to put powder on my sheets.

I drove to Walmart all by myself last night...my first real excursion in the stick shift. I stalled out only three times. But they weren't bad stalls, I just started my car right back up each time and kept on going. But I'm still afraid of hills.

Isn't it interesting how people can be struggling with the same general topic but in completly different aspects? I don't think it really occurred to me before sunday night that faith has so many different facets. One who wants an increase in faith may be struggling with believing in God, believing what He says, not worrying about the future but to leave it in God's hands, or having the faith to see really big things happen (like healing the sick). And those are just a few examples that come to mind in retrospect to faith. I am one of those who want more faith. The aggravating thing about that is that you can't give yourself more faith. You either have it or you don't. All I know to do is ask for more. I'm not worried, just excited about what more faith will bring about. Its going to be great!

dude, i thought i was reading Danny Glendinngs' blog, because they look the same. I was really confused. Can you imagine Danny cleaning his dorm room and lighting candles for his roommate. And then what's up with the girl in the corner playing guitar?!

and then........baby powder......and i know it's Kayla.
