BanAnna Crossing

A guy in my English class asked me my phone number today.  You are so totally jealous.  Yes you are.  I wanted to say no thanks I’m engaged and pregnant but that probably would have sent him screaming or made him huddle in the fetal position.  I’m letting you know that your fiancée is still totally hot stuff.

Could you edit a couple papers for me?  Please?  I’ll email them to you soon.  Let me change a few things so I don’t look like a complete idiot.

My devo today was on the first chapter of Ruth.  I’m moving all over the place, but it was really good.  I think it was in here because of commitment.  One of the questions it asked in the end was how life would be different.  Like if you were for some reason to be gone from my life, would I try to go back and live like I did before?  That was really tough for me to answer because so many things have changed!  I’m in New York, I’m going to have a baby in the spring.  I think it was trying to say that Ruth had been changed for the better when she was with her husband and Naomi.  She came to know God and even though she was a foreigner when worse came to worse she stuck with her convictions.  She stuck with Naomi out of loyalty to God.  Will I stay with God when you aren’t around?

It’s very relevant though!  Circumstances have us apart for this semester even though it is probably going to be very tough.  I know you’re always there for me, but I feel alone sometimes.  Am I going to stick with God?  When someone says it will be easier if I do it another way, am I going to listen to them or remember what I committed to?  Promise that you’ll keep me going.
