Daily Little Joys

Isn't it cool when you see how God sprinkles little blessings over you during the day? Did you know that God LOVES to spoil us and make us joyful?? And, in return, when we give Him praise for it all, then we make HIM happy! How cool is that, that we get to make the savior of the world happy?!

Today has been a very happy day! Sure not much has happened, I worked during the day and have cramps all day but other good things have happened!

For example, I saw an old friend today who recently became a Christian. I got to spend a good amount of time talking with him and seeing how he is doing. This old friend of mine has just such a joy and kindness about him and it was so good to seeing him again!

During work I got to wear my favorite Coach shoes, eat little chocolates, and spin around in an office chair! It was so fun and made work more exciting!

After work my friend and I decided that we are going to go see the midnight premier of "Twilight: Eclipse" and I am so excited!!!

Outside the trees are windy, my whole family is together for dinner, and we get to play with our puppy!

Although nothing major happened today, I have just felt such a happiness today after realizing all the little joys God has sprinkled on my day!

I love when he does that :) Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Entering a New Stage

So I am in a very interesting stage of my life right now. I have one semester left in college, I am a new auntie, and I am getting married in 6 & 1/2 months. I am so excited to embark on this new stage in life, however at times I wonder how I got here so fast. How is that I am graduating college and getting married soon? I feel like I am still 17 years old and trying to figure everything out. It's weird to see that those older than me were right when saying "time goes by so fast". I find myself saying that constantly and feel aged! Yet when I reflect back on these last 3 years at Biola, I cannot help but notice the changes in my life.

I have learned that I deserve respect, that I am worthy of good Christian friends, I deserve an amazing Christian man, God's forgiveness is wider than anything I can imagine, I am capable of helping and changing lives, and I have a great call on my life that one day will come true.

This past semester has been one full of growth. I have grown in love, laughs, and memories so much more with my bestest friend Kate, I have seen the strength, perseverance, and drive of my roommate and best friend Jen, I have learned so much about my friends around me, and I have learned what kind of woman I am growing into.

Even though this next stage of my life is filled with surprises and more times to trust in the Lord to provide, I am excited. I think I am ready, and I know that I am not alone in this journey.

Also this summer, I have become so proud of my sister. She fights for things in a way I never knew before, she is determined to seek out truth in her life, and she is worthy of praise. I love my little sister and am so thankful for her in my life.
