technology grrrr

as i sit here typing, my iphone is restoring its settings because as it was downloading the new software, an error occurred and everything on my phone was deleted.

here's the good news: for some reason, today i decided to upload the pictures from my iphone to my computer....some which included pictures of me and grandma or fun texts i had received from people or anything. i am so glad that i did that! i would be so upset if those pictures were gone. yay yay hooray.

i also found out that some of my dear dear friends go to veritas in columbia, the college group for the crossing church here (a church planted my GTCC in stl!). 

i am just getting lovely signs every where today.

today in itself was rather hum drum. i got some work done. class went well. got to relax in bed. but those few instances make me feel much better! 

it's also raining. which is nice because i feel like the day is cleansing itself. jsut like my iphone. maybe its time for me to let everything wash off of me too. i even let myself have a 2 minute cry this afternoon. i was looking through pictures and found such a lovely picture of grandma helen watering her plants. i think i took it sometime last summer.

everything today has fit that theme, water washing away everything. the picture came right before the rain. right before the tears. maybe grandma is up in heaven because she wants me to know that she is up there, washing away certain sad feelings i still have. she is nurturing me and my life, letting me know that she is still here with me, watching out for me. 

i get to go home tomorrow. it will be a fun weekend. im excited to sleep in my bed again, and get those last minute things at home that i left there a few weeks ago. i think i also need to spend more time with my mommy. there is just something that tells me i might need her this week. i feel a big cry coming on soon. 

but for now, i press on and know i'll be alright. 

oh my phone just reactivated....didn't even THINK about the fact that all my applications are gone now too. money down the drain. this stinks. 

God's blessing of the day: the rain. Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." -hosea 6:3
