"MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone."

that was very encouraging. thanks.
I got your emails, I'm glad to know things have gotten better. I still pray for you and india though. School is going to get intense. I know it will be worthwile in time. I'll shoot you off an email sometime soon.

it's so good to hear from you, joel! i keep checking your blog and it's all sad and empty.
at the risk of sounding like an annoying older sister, i would like to remind you to have some ridiculous junk fun, in the middle of the intense worthwhile stuff.
thanks for the prayers, joel. india's a little selfish - she isn't praying for you, but i am. i'm the nicer one of the two of us, for sure.
