1:56 pm	long time no write. i just wanted to update on my life. i was in a car accident last week that totaled my brother's kia. i thought it was a 4-way stop, so i stopped, then went and got hit by a huge pick up. they suffered very little damage to their vehicle, but i was unable to get out of the driver's side. God totally protected me, i walked away with only a small bump on my head, seatbelt burn on my neck, and a sore shoulder...all of which are healed now. so i just want to tell you all that God is my protector. now, on to school. i can not afford IWU this semester, so i am working on finding a good paying job to save up for apartment and other expenses...i am thinking it looks like i will be moving down to marion in november or december, so that is a good thing. i will terribly miss all of the people down at IWU in the meantime. Next, I am just so thankful for my friends. i am especially thankful for nathan and staley today. both of them called me and encouraged me so much. they are both so extra-special and dear to me. I am thankful that God has blessed me with such wonderful friends...all of them anywho, that is all for now...just a sort of blurb into my heart and life today!

3:26 pm	so i have a lot of decisions to make. i am trying to decide whether to go back to IWU to finish up in the spring of the fall. i am no longer eligible for state aid and so i will be paying for it myself. i am thinking that i will go back in the spring to finish up which will give me more time to earn the money i need to pay for the last semester. now i am thinking that i will be moving into my own off campus apartment by the end of the summer or possibly sooner. the only problem with this is finding a job in marion. i might hang out around here at home while i am trying to raise enough money to pay off some debt for credit cards and student loans and then i need to find a car or some sort of reliable transportation so i can find a job in marion that would pay my bills at my apartment. i will probably try to find my own apartment if it is possible so i don't have any run ins with a roomie. who knows what will happen. but anyway, i would appreciate any advice or prayers you all could send my way. i love you all!

1:24 am	Over the past couple of hours a lot of rebarbative, ulcerated and embittered people had been working hard at bedding their resentments down in sensory-deprivation tanks full of alcohol. ~from my word of the day emails i get...i love it (Comment on this)

11:22 am	this is the last day of classes, and now i am only a semester from graduating. God is good. whether or not some friends are there for me, i always have someone to turn to. When people fail, I have Jesus, and he is pretty freaking sweet. I am filled with joy today which is a wonderful thing. God is amazing. i mean, look at the world around us. the leaves on the trees seem to appear over night, the flowers bloom in such a stunning array of colors that it takes my breath away, the sky can be so blue it looks fake, the people we see everyday are a gift from God, and such a variety of gifts they are!! i mean, seriously, we have so much to be thankful. so i am sorry for all the times i have been ungrateful. sure, situations could be better, and there could be less turmoil in my life, but I have SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much to be thankful for. So God, Thank you so very much for all you have given to me and done for me. i am thankful for you, for your presence, what you have done, and just how amazing you are!! i am thankful for my friends, my family, my teachers, nature, music, laughter, food, playgrounds, pictures, laptops, and all the other things i have to be grateful for. Lord, you are amazing! Thank you for healing my physical needs, you are the great Physician. Thank you for being my comforter. thank you for your power to overcome. thank you for conviction. thank you for your ressurrection power. thank you for giving me the victory. and thank you for your amazing love. God bless you all!!! Anna (Comment on this)

9:31 pm	ok, so i am supposed to be writing a paper about a book i haven't read. but i was feeling guilty, like i was cheating or something, so i am going to turn in the paper late after i read the book tonight and this weekend. so now i have a little bit of free time to update here. i still do not have my computer back. i called IT today and ask them if they had any idea when it would be done. their response was amusing to me. "we are working on it right now. It has a LOT of viruses." this was said in almost a state of awe...apparently my computer had a gajillion viruses, adware, and spyware. they said it could take a few more days to be able to get rid of some of the viruses. it was kinda funny that my computer had been so badly infested that it is being a long, hard job for those poor people at IT. i think i might just have to bake them cookies. anywho, all that is just to say that i am only posting when i have access to public computers, etc. so yeah. my life has been very blessed lately. there have been some big financial worries, but you know, God is my provider...and so is my mom;) just joking. tomorrow i am having a bunch of people come over and watch movies, play games, eat any sort of food i have in my house which is actually severely limited and then some of them might spend the night. all are welcome to attend. then saturday, i am going to my family's house to have birthday party/dinner for me and my brother. i am well on my way to switching my major...only a few more signatures and a look in the catalog to find out the requirements for the two minors i might be getting and if they are all available for next semester and are able to fit in my schedule and meet the requirements for general studies degree, then i will register for my final semester of classes here at IWU for the rest of my life..scary, but very exciting. lately, God has been doing some really cool things in my life. he has been reminding me of the ways he has showed his might in the past. and he has been transforming me into a sort of spiritual mother hen type figure that is giving me opportunity to help those younger than me grow up and mature and follow the path that God is leading. this is exciting, seein how God has been using me to help nurture and encourage growth in those around me. i feel as though i am right where God wants me right now, that i am walking upright in his perfect purpose for my life. i am so blessed to be a part of his family. i am blessed to have friends and family that love me. i am blessed to have a God who loves and cares for me and is my comfort, provider, and strength. I am blessed that i have a mindset of joy that has been refreshed over the last couple weeks. i am blessed! how are you guys doing?? love in Christ, anna theresa joy miretti Current Mood: artistic (Comment on this)

9:54 am	so, i was doing this poverty week thing with college democrats but then i came to the conclusion that i have lived at or well below the poverty level for all of my life...i do not need to gain empathy so a situation in which i have been most if not all of my life is understood by me, a participator in said experience. so i went out to dinner last night with my roomie and am really only staying with the part of the plan where i wear the same clothes. so yeah, i am bad, but who really cares?? i do not. i am also reading a book which really makes me so incredibly happy...it is called word freak and it is one of the funniest books i have read in quite a while. it is a refreshing narrative about the world of competetive scrabble players...it is crazy, but it tickles my fancy for words and language...but i must say that i have never read a book with so many curse words...i mean i cannot go a page without someone letting out an F-bomb or a GD...it is crazy how incredibly worked up these people are getting over scrabble(which is one of my favorite games ever) but anywho i started reading it yesterday at about noon and even with gospel choir, a roomie date, and homework, i read nearly 300 pages in the book and i will finish it today...i missed reading for pleasure...what a joy. reading makes me happy...it fulfills my lust for words and mental stimulation. i would reccommend this book to anyone who loves words...it is great...i had forgotten how much i love linguistics in the english language...there are no substitutions...i love words. and i love you (Comment on this)
