Faith is believing in the things unseen

So today I went shopping with my parents. Not as bad as it could have been- some of the time was fun. Somehow, as my dad and I were waiting on my mom as she was chatting with someone (not unusual), we got on the topic of college. My dad said that he thinks maybe it would be good for me to get away because he thinks they (my parents) are "getting" to me. So basically he senses my sparatic irritation with my mom...which actually happens more often than not. I've been so reluctant to think about college and I partially decided on Raymond Walters just as a "settlement" or decision just to get away from having to make big changes, I guess. Maybe I just needed my dad's "ok" to feel better about leaving them. I'm so incredibly dependent though, it's discusting. I'm still debating, but seriously contemplating going away- which the idea I absolutely loathed just a few months ago. Money is also a big issue for me- but I realize (with many people to tell me) that God will take care of it if it's supposed to be. Just like Israel! I never thought I would ever be able to go but I've already recieved like $900 in donations! I absolutely still cannot believe that.
Oh and please pray that I CAN go to Israel because of checks being lost/airlines may be booked... I dont konw whats going on but please pray about that.

Anyway... I love you... have a wicked awesome relaxing weekend. You need it.

Hebrews 11:1,3
What is Faith? Its the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. Its the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we can't see it up ahead... by faith- by believing in God- we know that the world and stars- in fact, all things- were made at God's command; and that they were all made from things that can't be seen.
