Day 79
My little . . .ahem, my younger . . . brother made varsity rugby. He’s a sophomore and was expecting JV, so of course he’s absolutely thrilled. I’m just trying to reconcile in my mind the image of him three years ago as a junior higher with this new idea.
A while ago when we talked on the phone, he mentioned that he was looking forward to playing one-on-one basketball with me this summer. I beat him the last time we played . . . four years ago . . . when I was still several inches taller than him . . . when I could actually block his shots. . .
So yeah. Now I think I’m going to get seriously shmushed. By my varsity rugby player younger brother.
Congratulations Noah! Go Buffs!
Onward.
An excerpt from something I wrote for a family newsletter:
The Lord did something recently that was exciting for me. Next semester, my one class is on Wednesday evening. It has been that way since time immemorial – Child Language Issues is on Wednesday evening. I have seen it on the roster since I arrived at Marquette and always sort of sighed over the fact, because we have Bible study at church on Wednesday evenings, and that’s a top priority for me. I sort of resigned myself to Wednesday nights without church, and didn’t really pray about it – it seemed to be one of those immoveable rock type things that I would just have to endure. Then last week, I got an email from my professor saying that she had a conflict Wednesday and would anyone mind moving the class to Mondays? I just sat there and laughed a little. It was definitely God teaching me a lesson: go ahead and pray for that “impossible” thing. He’s God – he can do anything. Even move a class to Monday nights so I can go to hear the Word.

haha, that’s really cool, Katie! sometimes we forget that God is all-powerful…. but that’s a good reminder. 🙂
