beautiful

God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy Will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy Will always.

Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would always be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.

Thank You for keeping me sober today. Amen.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace. -- Isaiah 52:7

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d away.
-- Stephen Collins Foster, “Beautiful Dreamer”

The beautiful changes
In such kind ways,
Wishing ever to sunder
Things and things’ selves for a second finding, to lose
For a moment all that it touches back to wonder.
-- Richard Wilbur, The Beautiful Changes

What a week! The movers came at 9AM last Monday and got me moved in about three hours. That night I went to class and found that I had made the highest grade in my class on the midterm exam -- a 98! Whoohoo! The past week has been spent unpacking, moving the little crap, and cleaning my old apartment. Saturday, Mom came over and helped me clean some, and we all got together Sunday to celebrate Dad's birthday. Sunday afternoon, Uncle Hal came. We hung out and then took a bunch of stuff down to the Genesis women's shelter.

I'm still getting used to living here. It kind of feels like a hotel. I have a beautiful view of the sunrise and the treetops of Turtle Creek and Uptown.

I've unpacked most of the kitchen and clothes but still have quite a few boxes of books, old papers, and office supply stuff I've got to put somewhere.

Now, on to another day!
