Dark Chocolate Truffles with Cocoa Cream Filling and Carmelized Cocoa Nibs

absolutely delightful.


today, i do not want to go to class. i feel like i have so much to do and i completely wasted my day yesterday by not doing some stuff for my french class. she wears me out, you know. i have to read this french book, write a 2-4 page paper on it (in french), do the "paris" controle (which is a 2 pg word document of paragraph answer-questions), and i have a huge extra credit project for french as well. annnd that's just for one class. poop. i'm really behind in my british literature reading and the material sucks so it makes it difficult to even want to play catch up.


everyone dies...and i know that...but it's just weird to deal with it. jamie's friend John died last night in a car accident. we were just talking about how that person, who is OUR age (20 yrs old) is meeting his maker. he's either in heaven or in hell right now. it's just overwhelming to think about...i'm scared to die even though i'm a christian. i know that because God is who He is, i can't earn my way to heaven...so yeah i just have to trust in the blood of Christ but that's so hard to trust sometimes. His blood was, is, and always will be enough for thsoe who believe.

my friend nicole who comes to RUF girls bible study has a prayer request today: her boyfriend's grandpa, whom she is close to, has cancer and he's supposed to have surgery next week which has a 50% chance that it will even cure it. he can't have the surgery if he's sick and he was just taken to the emergency room because of discoloration of the skin and a fever.

i just pray for peace for that family and for her boyfriend's grandpa. i hope that he's saved and that he believes and trusts in the Lord. times are hard, always have been and will be. i feel like as i'm getting older i just see it more.

God have mercy on us.
