| wow. so i'm a senior in college now. it's hard to believe that. life can go so fast, and yet, i feel like i've always been here. i remember my freshman year when the upperclassmen were moving in, Liz Plass (a senior that year) was moving in and she was yelling "i feel so OLD!" and she did seemed old to me, i mean not literally old old, but she was a SENIOR for heaven's sake! that was so far away back then. now i am a senior. i can totally relate to how she felt. i sometimes feel like i should still be a little freshman, trying to learn how to survive on my own in college. wow.
things have been going well for me, obviously a lot has happened since i've last updated, considering the fact that it was about 6 months ago. for the first half of this summer i lived in Bedford, IN with Devin's family while interning at the hospital in the pathology lab down there. it was really fun to get to spend time with his family (not to mention getting to spend time with Devin!  ) the second half of the summer i was up in northern Michigan taking classes at the AuSable Institute. it was a lot of fun, but extremely hard! the classes were difficult and about half way through, my grandma passed away. it was just a very difficult time for me and my family.
this year has been good. i feel like i am such a different person now than i was last year. not in a bad way, just different. it's hard to explain really. i'm really going to miss Taylor when i graduate, and yet, i'm really looking forward to moving on to the next stage in my life. i feel like i'm finally at a place in my life where i can move on past the things that have been a struggle for me in the past. i'm excited to start a new life, a new career, and a new family.
i'm just in a very contemplative mood tonight...
i love this man.

| so last night was our annual "Airplane Openhouse." the story behind it is that whenever you walk on to 4th Berg, it sounds like a commercial airplane because A/C is so loud. like for real, it sounds like a jet. so anyway, we decorated the hall like the inside of a plane and we all dressed like stewardesses. it was really funny. here are some pics:
and so, all was safe once again aboard flight 4B | | |
| April 26th, 2006
While working on a group project in the library, I remember an announcement over the loud speaker saying that there had been an accident and that there was an unknown number of Taylor students who had died. Everyone went back to their dorms where we waited and watched the news, desparate for more information. All we knew for several hours were the sparse and inadequite details we learned on tv. At 10:00 we flocked to the chapel seeking and yet dreading what information we would find there. For the next several hours we prayed for those involved, for the families of those who had died, for those who were injured, for the paramedics working on them, and even for the semi driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel. We sang praises to God, glorifying him in the midst of tragidy. We comforted each other, we cried together. Finally, at about 2:00 am, they finally gave us the information that we hated to hear, and yet needed to hear. I'll never forget the wailing and the sobbing of that night as they announced the names of the 4 students and 1 staff member who died. The pain was unimaginable. I knew that at that moment, all of our lives would be changed forever. The days following the accident seemed like an eternity. The whirlwind of media on campus. Then the erie silence that followed. It seemed like the campus was empty for several days. There seemed to be a numbness.
I can't believe it's already been a year since that night. It's gone by so quickly. Tonight there was a memorial service held in honor of those five wonderful people. It was amazing to hear the stories of how God has used their lives, and even their deaths to show His glory and to bring people to Him. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful and amazing God is.
Blessed be your
name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
Every blessing
you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
You give and take
away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name Laurel Erb, Monica Felver, Brad Larson, Betsy Smith, Laura VanRyn... you are missed
