But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired. - Isaiah 40:31 (Amplified)

This is one of my favorite xkcd comics
I don't remember exactly why this came up, but it had something to do with the fact that this is currently in our room:
So yeah.
As for yesterday's blog post about everything going wrong, the short story is that everything went wrong in my attempts to return to Ann Arbor. The long story goes something like this: Yesterday morning at church I was about to buy my bus ticket, when I realized that I didn't have my photo I.D. and therefore couldn't use my debit card to purchase a ticket online. So we had to go buy it with cash at the station. At three, Dad dropped me off at the station, where I found out that the bus was at least two hours late. Great. So I called home, and Dad turned right around and came and picked me up. James and Ashley and I went to Jesse's at four to hang out, and I called the bus station again. They said that things were uncertain, and to call back in half an hour. I called back at 4:30, when they informed me that the bus had been canceled, and that there were a couple people who were going to take a taxi to Ann Arbor. So we jumped in the car (actually Chris's truck, which James and Ashley were using), and the steering column was locked. So the car wouldn't start. Ashley and I eventually got to the station, only to find out that the taxi had left a minute or two before we got there. At that point, I managed to get my ticket exchanged for a seat on a later bus, so that was good. But then I had the problem of arriving in Ann Arbor after midnight and getting back to my dorm, because I didn't want to walk home alone in the dark. Thankfully, my friend Caleb volunteered to pick me up so I wouldn't have to do that. So when we arrived at the bus station in Kalamazoo at 10, the greyhound bus wasn't parked where it was supposed to be parked at, which made me more anxious than I was already (You can imagine the bundle of nerves I was yesterday when all of this was happening. The sad part was that I knew it was going to be a big problem getting back to Ann Arbor yesterday. Yesterday morning I just thad this feeling that it was going to be difficult to get back to school.). But the bus arrived and everything was fine. Except that the bus driver was crazy, and threatened to kick us off the bus if we were talking loud enough for him to hear us. Which wasn't all that loud. And he did pull the bus off to the shoulder of the road at one point when people were talking (too loudly, apparently), though he didn't kick anyone off (This was why I couldn't answer your call, Aaron. You called me when we were sitting on the shoulder of the highway). Anyway, eventually I got back to my dorm, safe and sound, although very late (12:30ish) with pretty much no time to get my homework done. But yeah, that's my story about how everything went wrong yesterday.

Wow, I'm really glad you're still alive. I love you and miss you :( And I hope this next semester turns out well enough to be worth that horrible trip.
