my feet are slipping...

my computer died.

it's dead.
done.
bit the dust.
won't turn on at all.
i've been having problems with it ever since the hot chocolate spill about a month ago and i think it finally couldn't take it anymore.

incidentally i spent my entire thanksgiving break doing schoolwork that i never printed. so i've been running all around lynchburg all day to try and get all my files off the hard drive and onto my flash drive so that i can just PRINT MY WORK!!! ahhhh it has been the biggest nightmare.

i've been on the phone with my dad all day and long story short i ended up buying a new computer.

yes.
crazy.
apparently there was this great one-day-only deal with dell and my parents are going to pay for part of it PRAISE GOD!
sigh.

so i finally got the files onto my flash drive and am now at the computer lab working on a paper.

my journey home last night was horrible. the plane was a little late b/c of the icky weather in detroit and then it had to get de-iced so we left late. it was a super bumpy ride b/c of the weather and then when we finally landed i had to carry ALL my super heavy bags all the way from the terminal to my car in long-term parking b/c the shuttle wasn't running. then i had to pay $63 for parking before my hour long drive home. on top of that it was sooooo foggy. i couldn't see ANYTHING and it was a super stressful drive b/c i'm not super familiar with the area.

but you know...i was sitting on the plane last night as it was sitting on the tarmack doing nothing...just sitting...and i was thinking...about God...saturday night i had a really good conversation with God. did some business that needed to be done. recharged my God battery so to speak. i had a great morning at church on sunday and then sunday afternoon....everything falls apart! and i was reminded of that stupid DEVIL!

gosh he is so annoying! and frustrating. everything has been going wrong. i am so upset and so frustrated and so TIRED. i only have 3 days of classes this week and i'm not sure how i'll make it through. i can't stay organized b/c i don't have a computer and can't check my email all the time and whatnot. i can't do my work when i want, print stuff when i want. the devil knows that this will distract me from the sweet moments i had the other day and throw me off.

and i realized that i cannot just run and hide behind my daddy and say "oh God protect me". theres' nothing wrong wtih that...but i'm called to more than that. i'm called to fight back with God's word as my weapon. what He says trumps anything the devil can throw at me. but i have to use it...

just the ramblings going through my head right now.
i am so worn.
