{Day 163}

sanfranweddingSo I have another big test today.  Gulp.  Really need to pass it.  This one is American Literature…and I don’t feel quite prepared.  Of course if you know me I NEVER feel prepared for tests.  Anyways if you are the type that prays and you happen to think to pray about it I would really appreciate it.  While I was thinking about passing this test though another very happy thought came to mind.  We don’t have to get a certain grade to get into heaven!!!  In fact we all get a big fat F if we are going by a grade.  What is so incredible is that it is about grace.  Salvation isn’t based on how good I am but on the sacrifice of Jesus who died that I might live.  His perfect life in exchange for my messy, dirty, sinful one.  Wow.  So while I might not always want to keep learning for a college test I do always want to be learning more and more about Jesus who is the lover of my soul…

P.S. We didn’t bring the camera to the wedding so all we have are these iphone pictures. 😀  The wedding was at the most beautiful vineyard and this was the view.  Also aren’t these table decoration beautiful…and I think the favors are so cute.

    Are you taking a CLEP test, Elaini? I took the American Literature CLEP last year. I hope you do well on whatever test you’re taking, and I’ll be praying for you today!

    May the Lord bring to your remembrance all that you have studied and guide you through this test. Of course you know I am asking these things on your behalf today.

    Hi Miss Elaini do you have big plans for Orphan Sunday? http://orphansunday.org/ Or maybe we just have to wait and see? 🙂

      Hey it’s a good thing you were there! 😉 Not having the lovely bride would have been a bad deal. I got some pictures of you and almost put one up but then I refrained since I didn’t have your permission. Loved all the special touches at your wedding. It was so beautiful!
