Oh, man! Where do I begin? Time keeps flying by! I can't even believe it's April already.
Last weekend I had the privilege of spending time with my two best friends-- Kayla and Emma. My sweet Kayla will be married in Kentucky this summer. She moved away from us the summer before high school began. I'm blessed to still have her in my life. It's been about 5 years.. And time hasn't changed anything. We spent the weekend together. Got our bridesmaid dresses and other things for the wedding. And in June, I'll be heading to Kentucky for a week! Emma and I have a pretty big and embarrassing bachelorette party to plan also. :)
I got my apartment!! *happy dance* There was actually a change of plans, though. I will be living with Emma -- who happens to be my longest best friend. She's basically my sister. Ad then Victoria in January. The apartment is wonderful...and I move in May 7th!
School is going well. I'm pretty much caught up. I have a little Bible homework to take care of, but that's the extent of it. 20 days! I smell and feel Summer already and it makes me smile.
My days have been so busy lately. I'm not even sure what I've had going on. I have been preparing for moving out mostly. My family is magnificent and they keep giving me dishes, pots & pans, and lamps. So. Many. Lamps.
I went by the community college that I'll be transferring to in the Fall. They weren't helpful or nice; however, I don't need people to get things done. I'm all registered for my Fall classes -- none of which I'm terribly excited about. My schedule is realllyyyy good though. I'm hardly in class at all. That's a big change from Harding. I live in the classroom. Guess this will make more time for me to work.
Today was good. I woke up and lazed in bed for an hour, I was up early and I decided to drive to the coffee shop with the largest windows. And God was so good to me, I read Isaiah 60 and I couldn't stop reading it. Those first five verses, over and over. I have this thing for light. And lately I am so aware of my dark.
God is ridiculously good to me. I don't deserve any of it. And sometimes I forget to be grateful. But when it hits me, rushes at my eyes and takes over my heart, I can not help but to adore Him. Adore, adore, adore.
Afterwards, I headed to an old friend's house. I made lemonade while he picked at his guitar. We sat out on his deck and talked about life. Worries, struggles, past, present, future. We laughed until it hurt. Then, like the mature adults that we are, I shot him with a water gun until he chased me with a garden hose. I have wonderful people in my life.
And even though I have to leave Harding, my roommate, my suitemates, and my Regina sisters, I know that He will take care of me. He has plans for me somewhere else. And who am I to question Him?
Have a fabulous week.
..This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10
