Victory awaits His beloved.

The indecision of Lizzy.

Came home after the tragic Lit essay test.
The class split. Evidently. Some to Pizza Hut (ew..) and the rest to Thai Express, which I had the fortune of patronizing yesterday…

Packed several neccessities into her awfully pink bag that clashes most painfully with her black/green dry-fit tee and equally dismal school skirt.

Decided thereafter that it would not be too wise to stay over at the tkgsax chalet tonight. After all she does have to be in band at 9.00AM tomorrow.

*ponders*

Bah.

On a completely unrelated note.
Lizzy wishes fervently for that little nagging feeling to Be Gone!
*attempts to swat it away doefully*

She was reading her bible today, sitting in the not-so-silence of the band room this morning.

Isaiah 54 leaped out at her from the pages.

“O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

Promises.
That are mine only because of Jesus.
Only because HE is MY Abba. My Daddy.

The race is not over…
Victory is waiting for me.
