| There was a new concept I learned about tonight.
Conflict + Time = Change
Interesting to think about. Why cant time just bring change? Why does there always have to be a conflict involved? Cant we just learn the easy way.... if you call waiting easy? I guess that is because we are so stubborn and full of pride to realize all the blessings that God has instore for our lives. I know I had to learn patience the hard way. Its like the song by Aaron Shust. "I am not skilled to understand. What God has built, what God has planned."
Anyways.... I am so giddy! I have the most amazing guy ever... Matthew Conard. I am in love, hardcore. He is the love of my life.
Love,
Cassandra

| I want to be home....
Yeah I know that I am home with my family.... but Missouri is my home now. It is the place that I have placed my passion. I miss my girls. They always knew how to make me smile. Sometimes I just need reassurance from them or even a simple hug. I miss Highstreet and all the ministries there. I miss the classes and professors who cared about you. Most of all I miss my roomie. I love you girl!
This year is going to be exciting! I cant wait for everything to take place. I am complete... Trust me, God has perfect timing! I am living proof of His grace.
Love,
Cassandra

| Hey everyone!
I know its been forever since I last typed in here. I just really havent had the time. My summer has been flying by!
Just a few things that I have learned this summer once again:
Everything happens in God's perfect timing. I know that we have heard this all our lives. Our parents constantly tell us to be patient and wait. That God knows and sees all. Though I have heard this truth all my life, I still havent learned it until this past year. And trust me I am still learning God's magnificent grace He has bestowed upon my life. I am doing a Beth Moore Bible study with the women at my church. One precious passage is found in John 11. This chapter tells us about Lazarus being extremely sick and eventually dying. "When Jesus hear that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby" (John 11:4). Jesus knew that Lazarus was going to die. Jesus could just travel to the city where Lazarus lived and healed him. But God has His perfect timing. He allowed Lazarus to be a part of His plan with His perfect timing. God wanted to be glorified. In doing so Lazarus had to die. We wont understand God's plan. Just realize that God has His perfect timing for everything in our lives.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, mind, and soul. And lean not unto thy own understand but in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths". My wonderful boyfriend, Matt, and I were talking last night on the way home from seeing Pirates 2. We came to the conclusion that we dont know where God is going to take us even two years from now. How scary is that? We want to be in ministry together but we dont know where God will take us. We cant do any planning because the future is unknown. My pastor told a message a while back how we constantly hold onto ropes in our lives. When we are afraid to let go of the rope and let God control, we get rope burn. It scars our hands and is a reminder of the pain we experienced. But when we let go, our lives consist of joy and happiness. That is what Matt and I need to focus on. We need to just let go. Let go and let God take control.
God sends trials in our lives for a reason. Nothing, absolutely nothing that happens to us, happens for no reason. I have struggled with that for a while now. I mean how can God send a terrible disease in my life? I have done nothing wrong to deserve this pain. That is where God dropped me to my knees. Its not about me. It never is about me. God showed me that through my pain I can bring Him glory. I am able to connect with more people that I have ever done before. I have had more opportunities to witness to others. I have even meet others my age that have arthritis too! Just remember 1 Corinthians 13:31. Whatever you do in life, do it all for God's glory.
Well guys this will be it for a while. I miss all my BBC friends. I love you all so much! You have impacted my life. I cant wait to go back!
Love,
Cassandra
