Dear Gids, The things that you remind me of are so encouraging. I cannot thank you enough for everything that you have said to me and all the encouragment you've filled me with. This week has been my break and I have loved it. It's gone so so quickly but it has been sweet and refreshing. I've been to the beach, spent some time with my sister, gone fishing and we went to Chicago to just hang around and that. My sister's fiance/husband is now on his way back to the US from Iraq. The last we heard he was in Kuwait. We're finally going to have this wedding and even though we are all so so very excited to get this thing done, it's kind of stressing out my mom. I understand that she has a lot to get done but, just pray for my family if you think about it. We're going to have a lot on our plates coming up here in May. I hope that your midterms and that went well. Let me know what your plans are.
I'm praying for you!!!
Bethany
