and my heart level just hit full

I love sitting and talking with college girls about what is going on in their lives...it is probably my second favorite thing in the world right behind spending time with Jesus. I absolutely love it. And today I got to do just that for hours. It was fantastic!! And it was incredibly humbling at the same time. I was struck with a new realization of what it is like to be held to a standard. People are observing how I live life, and that is a very challenging and humbling thing to realize. I am an example. WOW! That is definitely motivating me to continue to live a life worthy of my calling. It also was a wonderful confirmation yet again of what I feel I am supposed to do with my life.

I am really looking forward to fall break and having days to just sit with God and figure out what is the next step. I loved the devo my beautiful friend K gave at the GAL retreat this last weekend about how we shouldn't wait to get thirsty for God but that we should spend time with Him on such a regular basis that we don't get thirsty. That was a great challenge to me and I feel like I finally have the time and energy to dive back into spending large portions of time with my Beloved. I have spent time with Him, but just not the large portions of time I desire.

I went on my first run in over a week this morning. It was delightful. I really just felt the need to take a Sabbath week last week, and that was a very good decision. I felt so refreshed and actually ready to run, and like I wanted to run this morning...that's something I hadn't felt in quite a while. I need to get new running shoes. I really can't afford them, but I really need to get them, and soon!

This morning I woke up with a verse from Psalm 81 in my head: "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, open your mouth wide and I will fill it." God is going to take care of my every need. He is sooooo faithful!!! It was just so awesome to wake up to that verse this morning.

My heart is just so full and so satisfied right now. What a wonderful feeling...and I'm super excited to spend time with Jesus tonight. :) He makes my heart happy!! :) Me gusta mucho Jesu!!

Easy!

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
