Here's more!

Hola, soy Dana y tengo mas para usted leer.

I like to talk in Spanish...anyway...

Hi, I'm Dana with more for you to read.

God is once again on the move. Like Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia, He's on the move. This last weekend, I had a wonderful time in Springfield, MO at a Bible Quiz meet. It was a unique experience-one in which I am very glad to have participated. From PMMs to friend finding to discovering that vidalia onion salad dressing is nasty to collecting way to many fruit roll ups, and checking out James River AMster's Commission, it was very interesting. Though it was fun, it was awfully trying. It seems that I have an attitude problem that God is trying to rid me of. :)
Anyway...that is in the past. In the present however, I know he is definitely working. I love it how whenever God is doing something, you can tell...well at least I can usually tell. :) At FCA, the lesson was about Attitude, in Missionettes the lesson is about attitude, and on Wednesday night, we talked about our attitude towards our parents. Along with this instruction about having a good attitude, I have been faced with what I feel has been massive trials-opportunities for me to have a good attitude. You know what? I am glad. Even though this has been an increasingly difficult week, God has been ever so faithful. I have felt His presence more this week at school...which is detrimental to me getting through the week....and I am so grateful to my Lord. I also find ways He continues to humble me or discipl,ine me because I have had too much pride. For instance...I got a pot I made out of the kiln today...and I was going around showing everyone the pretty colors of its glaze...when later in the afternoon, I had the pot in one hand and was trying to pick up our squirming puppy with the other. Needless to say(?), it fell from my hand onto the concrete of our front porch and was dashed into pieces. That reminded me of Revelation 2:26-28 "To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—'He will rule them with an iron scepter;
he will dash them to pieces like pottery'[a]— just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star." It reminded me of how worthless the things I make truly are. :) Really..i am like that...just a piece of clay that God breathed into. Yet God shows his great love in that while I am a sinner and while I am a "temple of clay", Christ died for me and you too. (Rom. 5:8) :) So really, I can have peace even though I have an attitude and am a sinner, because God is changing me everyday.

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
