A Series of [?]fortunate Events

I was told that doing this would be the hardest thing I had ever done in my life. And since I have been here, I have been broke, in debt, homeless, homesick, depressed, discouraged, sick, tired, self piteous, confused, lonely, ... bespectacled (my last contact lens tore)..., and labouring under a religious idea that I'm earning God's love through all I've given up (as an enlightening phone call to London revealed - thanks Shirls!).

I have not, however, had a crush on anyone. Whew!

But this is my declaration and this will be my story!

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or sword? As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long, we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered'". No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

For I am CONVINCED that neither DEATH nor LIFE, neither ANGELS nor DEMONS, neither the PRESENT nor the FUTURE, nor ANY POWERS, neither HEIGHT nor DEPTH, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!"
