NIV: No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Message: No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it.
NLT: The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
I cant say much online, however I described our situation to one person as this. Just when you think things cant get much worse, they did. and just when we thought they couldnt get worse than this, they did. And it really continues on.
This verse has been quoted to me a few times and yes there is comfort in it but it is upsetting too because I am not sure if I can handle any more! Please just pray for me and Cory, if you want more details or such email me...
Holding on to Him,
Cassandra

The Second "R"
Must be on the theme of R's right now lol
I love what the community of SBC does. I love the connection between students, the connection between students and prof, the connection between everyone. It is SWEET! However, because SBC is such a huge believer in the role of community and SBC life...where does that leave commuters and part time students?
Dictionary.com defines the term reject in numerous ways:
Reject: verb (used with object)
1. to refuse to have, take, recognize, etc.
2. to refuse to accept (someone or something); rebuff:
3. to discard as useless or unsatisfactory:
4. to cast out or eject; vomit.
5. to cast out or off.
Yes some of these definitions are harsh and unrealistic to my situation at the present time. However, I have know looked at this from both sides of the spectrum. I look at definition #1 "to refuse to have" and that one made me think. So this evening I did what I believe to be my part and I went to the dorm. I was told, " i just checked facebook, but I am busy now" I was also told "What are YOU doing here" I wanted to make sure that I was not Refusing to have community from SBC, However these 2 comments made me lean towards the second definition of "to refuse to accept"
I am not really going to say anything about definitions 3 and 4, but number 5 "To cast out"...
Thats where I sit

Realizing
I was talking to a girl from school yesterday and she made this point.
"The dorm Community is great at SBC...however that Community ends the second you leave."
That point rang so true for me for a couple reasons...
1) My wedding: Out of 60 invited SBC related, I believe no more than 10 showed up...yes some of them told me that they were unable to make it, but so many said yes they were coming and did not show up...
2)Living off Campus: You know I live a 5 minute drive from dorm. yet that 5 minutes might as well be 5 hours.
I can already tell that my community this year is not going to be sbc. It is going to be elsewhere. THis thought hurts to realize but ya.
My thinking and musings for today...

Curve Ball
Ok so this post actually has nothing to do about baseball but ya. So as off 10am this morning I had planned that I was taking a full couse load at SBC, graduating this coming april, working one or 2 days a week and going to fully enjoy my last year at sbc...well plans changed!
So SBC changed the way they do financing. Everyother year, I have only started to apply for my loan once I knew how much I needed...makes sense to me. Well this year they are saying that everything must be paid for by September 22 or else I dont go..
Well the short of it is...my loan is not going to be through by than!!
So what does this mean you may ask? It means that I am going to go into SBC tomorrow morning to see what they are willing to do.
If I cant be at SBC this semester, I am going to still do my practicum this semester and maybe one more course, so I still have part time status so I don't have to pay on my loans (ya I know, working the system!) I would than start taking my paraeducator course through red River distance Ed, while working full time at MPRC.
I am thinking this all means that we would potentially be in steinbach an extra year...
I am so thankful for "My Rock", Cory, who is trying his best at keeping me sane...He is incredible at it!
Pray for me, I am confused and unsure.
