having nothing, yet possessing everything

^...sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 2 Corinthians 6:10

 This was part of what I read this morning. It's following a passage of the hard things that Paul and his coworkers are going through, and what they REALLY have, in light of eternity. I can't say I'm being persecuted at all, or that my life is really terrible, because it's not! But obviously there are times when I feel down, or alone out here, or frustrated. And the last part of that verse really struck me -  having nothing, and yet possessing everything. I am so RICH in God. Ah what a good reminder!


Today's business:
Well first of all I had a really wonderful grade 1 class. This class is generally really difficult, and it's slowly been improving but is still hard. The more Spanish I can speak and understand, the better! And the more I pray for my students, the better:) So I am really thankful for that today, and I am energized rather than drained as a result.

Second, now I am off to Santa Cruz to HOPEFULLY get my wisdom teeth removed (if there's no complications). They've been bothering me on and off for the past year, in the last 2 weeks or so I haven't slept more than an hour at a time because of pain. With drugs maybe 3 hours. My days have been full of pain, and headaches as a result of not sleeping. I've never been a headache person, now I know how it feels to live with one, for a couple weeks at least! I am thankful for that perspective, really. Now I know. So hopefully I can report back to you all in a couple days feeling much better!
