Okay, so what I said about my priorities the other day? Forget it. I had them switched up.
#1) get space ready for Charlie. DONE
#2) practice to get driver's license. IN PROGRESS
#3) GET driver's license.
#4) prepare for Christmas stuff
#5) deal with Christmas stuff
However, the preparation for driver stuff isn't as bad as I thought it would be. (Thanks again, Iman! Your encouragement/insight/advice really helped!) Mom and I went out and practiced Sunday night, and I got the stuff mostly down. Darned parallel parking still gets me (I'm spot on about 68% of the time), but rear path backing was ridiculously easy somehow.
Anyway...we finished up Ephesians on Sunday, and I was hit with some pretty cool insight about the part about the armor of God, particularly the part about praying for all of the saints all of the time. It's more like a lifestyle than "Okay, God, I'm praying for the saints now!!! OK, done!" Instead, it's just living in prayer. Going about the day with your heart in the position to give to and receive from God. Try spending a day with your Creator, it's pretty dang awesome. He has a great appreciation for silly little jokes!

Neat stuff.
Oh, btw, for anyone who reads this and did not already know:
YG IS HAPPENING THIS THURSDAY (Dec.18)!!!
We'll be over in the blue building just east of CPC (the one next door). Same time, same cool stuff, just no Greg.
Well, I hope to see you all soon, and if not (and even if so): I love you loads!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas! And may God bless you in this upcoming year, and for many years to come!

I also have migraines, and not the simple kind. I'm going to start writing more about them and trying to bring hope to people who also struggle with migraines.

Hey Lilly! AWESOME post!
Went & checked out the link you posted to the song. Not quite my musical taste, but the lyrics WERE good!
Liked your note about living a life of prayer. Ephesians rocks! I espec love 1:18-23, & sometimes use it in my letters & e-mails.
There's a book called "The Practice of the Presence of God" that you would like cuz it talks more about that. It's a really short, but humbling, book by a monk who wrote about God being in all of his activities, even washing the dishes & caring for the livestock. I'll see if I can find my copy for you.
Hang in there. You can BEAT this parallel parking thing -- I know it. I have total faith in you!
BTW, how did Saturday go?
X0X0 always,
A.M.
What was Saturday again? OH! The PSC? I think it went pretty well. I wrote two essays instead of one, because I seriously messed up. I did not notice the prompt in the folder. Fortunately, the people let me write the proper essay. Then I had my interview, and I think it went well.
I'll know by Christmas whether or not I'll be getting called back.

I sure hope I did well!
