Cloudy Sunday

God blessed us with a cool rock show last night. Lightning and thunder rumbled in the night. I was waiting for one of those big ol' cracks of thunder that seem to rumble your insides. I suppose God didn't want to startle us too much ;) I had just finished my prayer and turned my head to the wall to sleep and then a flash of lightning lit my wall. I turned my head to look out the window. I felt so at peace, watching the fog roll in at 2am and little flashes of light. Rain was gently falling and trees were dancing in the wild wind. Sometimes you just have to stop thinking and realize your life is so minute compared to God's magnificence and His amazing plans for our lives.

Worries and the stupid things of life just melted from my mind. As my eyes became heavy, my last sight was the sky, orange from the city lights and the black of the trees. You know how God doesn't speak in the bursts of sounds but the quiet voice? He spoke to me in those moments and said everything was gonna be alright.

Ash and I make our return to the photolab for her shift. We stay there from 5pm-11:30pm. Last week was fun because no one was in there so we could goof and carry on. This week though I'm thinking more students are going to use the lab since the semester is in full swing. Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.

I have some philosophy to read and my business of news stuff obviously. I'm probably going to start looking for AVP sound effects and such for my audio project. I pray everything goes smoothly. Recording voices won't be too difficult. It's trying to find what I want and need to make it perfect.

Oh! I'm working the desk for United For Change. We're setting up a donations station for Haiti. If you're in Massey for any of your classes, come on over between 1-3pm. Stop by, say hey ;), and DONATE! Together we can mak a difference. Amen? Amen.

Sadly, though, the Haitian gov't decided to stop the search and rescue. I don't understand why they stopped. Just yesterday search and rescue teams dragged a dude out from a toppled store. He survived by crawling under a desk, eating cookies and drinking cola. There are people still out there! I don't understand how they can just give up. It's just heartbreaking. The camps can still use the money. Food, water and medical supplies are in desperate supply. Doctors fear disease will soon consume the camps because there are so many stranded. People have the option of going to more rural areas where there's already extreme poverty. It's very bleak right now for the people. God has everything under control so He will provide. Matthew 6, right?

Continue to pray for Haiti, y'all!

Enjoy your Sunday and the last week of January! (Gee whiz! Where'd the month go?!)
