He knows our heart's desires

I'm always impressed by how God really knows our heart's desire and He delights in giving them to us, just like that! Today I experienced that to a little degree. Way down here in Florida, away from a lot of my friends, it can get a lil lonely. When I went to bible school I left some friends behind in Florida knowing that I would probably never talk to them again. So now I come back to a big empty space in my life. I'm not much of a people person, but I still need and love them! I haven't had a big chance to meet new Christians cuz I go to school in the ghetto and the only way to get "fellowship" there is if I smoke out wit da sistahs in da hood (don't worry, no offers yet). Well that's not going to happen so....ANYWAYS, today I had a class reunion (only 2 weeks after graduation, ha! beat all of you) with my fellow graduate along with some other friends that drove down just today. Also in a few weeks I'm going to meet up with an old Fairwood friend when she comes to Florida. That's not the end! Another awesome friend of mine is flying down to visit AND...a girl that I was just in bible school with is only 1/2 hr drive from me right now (to my surprise as she left a messege on the answering machine yesterday). Well I love and miss Fairwood a whole bunch, but look at God bring Fairwood to me! 1500 miles away. Ok, well there is my praise. Remember that He is good. =) Oh, and I passed my first algebra test! Woooooo!

No, this isn't the remains of an ancient dinosaur. It's actually an old, dead, dried up lizard that I found in this room while cleaning. Yup, I guess this blog's theme really is going to be all about lizards, the frolicing and the dried up. 

Ever since going to bible school I've been on this constant mission to clean and organize the whole house. Declutter this, throw out that. I drive my mom up the wall sometimes because she wants to hold on to everything. My dad on the other hand appreciates a cleaner more functioning house but hates putting out the bags and bags of trash. He can only handle so much. Last Christmas break we cleaned out only one side of the garage and loaded up about 20 bags of trash. That almost made him go postal (ha). It was crazy. People kept pulling into our driveway thinking that we were having some grand yard sale.
Today I started cleaning the guest room/computer room/maybe one day a stamping up room and/or sewing room. Above is a picture of what it looks like now. Hopefully soon I'll have the after shot. I can't believe I'm showing this mess to the whole world.
