Hope in Someday

Heart's in a frenzy
Mind is spinning
Will it ever stop?
Is it all in my control?

Hurt makes us stubborn.
It's hard to let go,
Lest we be forgotten.

The beauty of the Father's heart:
He cherishes our own.
He doesn't forget.
He sees and knows all...

There's no safer place to be completely vulnerable
Than in Agape's love.

I'm almost there...
but not just yet.

There's Hope in someday.

Asbury Seminary is truly a place of healing...and for one reason only: the inescapable presence of the Holy Spirit. He overwhelms this place and the hearts of the people in this community.

Thank you, Father, for bringing Kyle and I here...to be in the center of your will is so good.

Good things come to those who wait...or so they say.

I've had my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop for 6 years this June. It had a hard drive and full screen replaced while under warranty, and is still surviving.

I have already made the decision that I will buy an ipad2 once this one dies completely.
I've already had the blue screen of death two times in the past couple months on this Dell...but miraculously it has revived and is still functioning, (yet rather slow...but that's nothing new. haha!)

I have a membership with UPromise, which is a savings program for college and is partnered with SallieMae. If you buy from participating UPromise stores you get certain percentages back from your purchases towards college, or in my case, loans.

I just received an email today from UPromise saying that the Apple store for this week only is giving 10% back on all purchases. So that means I could earn $50 towards my loans.

So...do I go ahead and buy the ipad to get the 10% back? Or do I wait until this computer dies completely?

I have been leaning on waiting...because I have a hard time at the thought of dropping $500+ on an electronic device, when the one that I currently have is still functioning.

But there's also the thought that I will be buying one anyways...so why not buy it now and get money back in the process?

I want to honor the Lord with the money that he has given us. It's His after all...I feel kind of materialistic if I buy an ipad when my computer still works AND Kyle has an Apple computer that I can use too...

I guess we'll give it a week and then see what I decided. :-)
