Live in Love - Times of Grace

Amy showed me this video today and it's awesme.  Who says that metal isn't good stuff?

Just live in love, believe in love

In my life I have seen all the ways hatred destroys mankind
Break society's system, change the mind state, there's no compromise
Don't mistake kindness and compassion for weakness
It takes so much more strength to be selfless and live in love

Strive to live in selflessness and live in love

Through all your days, just live in love
Through all your pain, believe in love

All that you think you know is just a fraction of this world
Take the time to think about your life, live righteous

Strive to live in selflessness and live in love

Through all your days, just live in love
Through all your pain, believe in love

The words we speak, the ones we don't say
Power you don't know you contain
Through all your days, believe in love

Don't you see, we are of
Don't you see, we are of one blood
Brothers and sisters, we are one
Brothers and sisters, we are one
WE ARE ONE

And I pray this is not in vain, all that you know about, all you can't hide
All that you feel inside
Live in love
All that you know about, all you can hide
How would you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide (Through all the days)
How would you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide (Through all the pain)
How would you feel inside (Live in love)

Getting There...

So, we're actually getting closer to getting everything done.  I can actually walk around the kitchen.  The living room has multiple places to sit, too!  I think that Amy and I are not stressing nearly as much.  It's now just down to unpacking boxes and stuff.  Even Gizmo is happier.  She has room to run around, toys, and an awesome outside yard, complete with squirrels and birds.

I think that today, we're going to go out tonight for Amy's birthday, since yesterday we didn't do anything.  We don't know where we're going yet, but I'm sure we'll find something that is good and cheap.  There's a bunch of cheap authentic Mexican restaurants around here.

We are SUPER excited to go to Istoria tomorrow.  We are finally going to be members there!  I feel as though we've been honorary members for a while now.  It almost feels like we're going home finally, a home that we've never lived in before, but home nonetheless.  I can't wait to get everything in a nice stable condition at the house so that I can focus on finding a job and start serving the community.  It's going to be interesting to see how this whole "Living Jesus" thing plays out.

Unpacking

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!  I love you and you're the best ever!  Thanks for supporting me and going to IL with me!

So, we've been here for three days and we're still in the throws of unpacking and organizing things and it's going to take years!!!  The house we're moving into is much smaller and has a lot less space for storing stuff than our last house.  Now we have to find out where to put all of the extra stuff.  To add extra stress to the situation, our washer gushes out water into the house, we have very little water pressure, and Lillian doesn't have a door for her room.  It's already been a crazy stressfull time here and we haven't even started living yet!  Neither of us have found any good leads on jobs.  The only sure thing that we have right now is that I'm starting college on the 30th.  I guess I asked for this.  Asked God to make you trust Him more and He's more than willing to oblige.
