Calm my anxious heart!

My computer's been down for the past week, so I haven't been able to get on here in a while. Plus, things have been absolutely chaotic in our family. My brother, Michael's baby was born last week. I can't wait to meet her. She is absolutely adorable! Her name is Adriana Grace.
For a total 180 - my great aunt passed away this past week. I didn't know her really, but I know how hard it was for my granddad and I just hurt for him. I think it's a realization that he's getting older and his family is too. He and his younger brother are the oldest immediate relatives now.
Also, I'm kinda house hunting right now. I'm not sure if it's going to be feasible, but my granddad is helping me with all the numbers and we're going to look at some townhouses tomorrow that I really like. I really feel like I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to take the next step. I'm 25 and still living at home - It's just time to move out. (nothing against my parents, they're great!) I just need some independence.

Saturday, I went to Barnes and Nobles to find a new book to read, since I finished all of my Phillipa Gregory series. Well, my pastor, Keith, had mentioned a book by J.I. Packer, Knowing God, so I looked for it and they didn't have it. So, then I remembered some authors he'd mentioned during talks and sermons and whatnot that I wasn't familiar with like Mark Driscoll and Timothy Keller. I found some books by them, but either they were too pricey or just wasn't what I was looking for. I think I'll order something online, but for now I chose "Bad Girls of the Bible and what we can learn from them" ok, so cheesy book at first thought, but I'm really enjoying it. I'll post more about it later - it'll be lengthy!

Sinus meds are about to kick in, so i'm heading to bed!

I'm clinging to this verse this week:
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. - Phil. 4:6
