I am doing phenomenal.  I feel so good about myself.  I had a wonderful weekend in and outside of Manhattan.  I was able to better understand what agape' love is after what I have been through, and felt significant knowing that my identity is in Christ.  This is exactly what I needed.  I felt free from having to deal with my stupid neighbor, who desperately needs to turn to Christ, and had the time of my life. 

I went to "Bethlehem Revisited", which is basically going through Biblical history starting with some of the prophets clear up until the birth of Christ, then His death and resurrection.  I was very encouraged, and got to help out in it.  It was a blessing to go and be apart of it. 

I also met a bunch of my professors, and have a place to stay when I am up there next year or anytime.  I was even able to concentrate and get my homework done because of the change of environment.  I now have 4 papers left.  Praise God!!!!  The semester is done by the end of next week.  I now have the motivation even more so to "finish strong."

I sent out my Christmas list today to my family and my fiance's (it took me to go up there to know what I needed, which isn't much).  I usually don't ask for much anyways because possessions aren't as important compared to following and growing in the Lord.

I am now able to focus on the positive more so than the negative, and to call on anyone anytime.  Support is so important, and I want to thank you so much.

Have a blessed week!
