"God does not look at how fervently we preach the gospel or how willingly we suffer for Him; He looks to see how obedient we are. God's kingdom begins when there is an absolute obedience to God - no voicing of opinion, no presenting of reasonings, no murmuring, no reviling... Wherever there is a church on this earth who truly obeys God's authority, there is the testimony of the Kingdom and there Satan is defeated. Satan is not afraid of our work so long as we act on the principle of rebellion. He only laughs in secret when we do things according to our own thoughts."

Well, in a few hours I'm off to World Mandate with my LG/church. I'll let you know how it goes!
Other than that, just a few things:
1. Yoga is still difficult, but I think it's getting easier. Today we did lots of long, deep stretches. So I think I may be getting back to having the flexibility of an average person. We'll see
2. It's disgusting right now. Rain, rain, rain, AND cold. But it's the day the Lord has made even so...
3. I may get to see Andrew sometime this weekend (WM is in Waco). Holla!
4. I've been writing/receiving letters left and right this weekend. Danielle finally sent letter number one of the semester ;). If she's reading this, she should know that she should expect an epic package/letter combo in the next week or so. And don't worry, all, I still have some letters on queue to write.
5. "You alone are my strength, my shield / To You alone may my spirit yield" (As the Deer). My prayer for myself and you guys this weekend.
6. Facebook break is still going strong. I actually have gotten to the point where I don't even think about it. It's really nice. Life can go on without it. Gasp!
Wooohoo! I'm pumped. P.S. they changed my mailbox. I'll put it as the return address on my next letter.
