Tomorrow, my roommates and I are moving to a new apartment, which means that today will be filled with joyous activities such as scrubbing the bathrooms down and filling the NUMEROUS holes in the wall we have created while living in this current apartment! It should actually be mildly enjoyable because my roommate, Britni has the whole day off so we can work on it together and also have each other's company.
I saw Ironman yesterday, which was a surprisingly great movie. I loved it! Funny plus action and not too much gore = great movie for me.
My softball team won our game last night in an unbelievable comeback, scoring 16 runs in the last two innings! Rusty was definitely the slugging hero of the game, hitting two home runs with several people on base each time. He also had some great defensive plays. What a guy! This weekend he is back in California with family and he moves away from Flagstaff permanently in two weeks! I will miss him.Here are two prayers that have recently come to my attention through books I am reading. I wanted to post them here in case anyone else wants to read them. If my life actually looked anything like either of them, I would be in pretty good shape:
"Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever. Amen."
-Betty Scott Stam
“Teach me, o God, to use all the circumstances of my life today, that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin.
Let me use disappointment as material for patience
Let me use success as material for thankfulness
Let me use trouble as material for perseverance
Let me use danger as material for courage
Let me use praise as material for humility
Let me use pleasure as material for temperance
Let me use pain as material for endurance.”
-Phillip Yancey
Also, here is a link to a short biography on Betty Stam. She was phenomenal.

I hope my man's muscles are serving you well!!! :) Ben is planning on calling Rusty, but you can also let him know he is always welcome to stay at our place as well.
I hope he takes you up on that offer! I'm sure he would have a great time with you two, and I want him to stay here as long as he can personally!
Your hubbie's muscles were the best of anybodies yesterday. We really needed him. Thank you to Ben!
Um... cough, cough!
And honorable mention goes to Ginger's enormous guns for helping us move all day long, too. Thank you to Ginger!
