After forgetting where my confidence remained and where my focus should be, the Lord has continued to do so many wonderful things in my life.
I am excited.
I am excited for school. By the end of my fall semester, I was ready to drop out of college. Of course my parents would not allow that so I began to make the most of it. This semester I am taking many great classes that involve lots of creativity/designing and I love that. I think my favorite has been my Clothing and Human Behavior class. Funny thing is that its my online class, but I am intrigued by the reading. This Friday I had to write a paper on the cultural ideals of beauty! A coincidence, I think not! I learned more and more about the lies that this world is teaching many females. God is so great!
I am joyful.
I am joyful of my free time. I love feeling like I am in college again. Last semester I was literally running from one thing to the next and not having any free time. I love getting to go on random escapades with my roomates or just sitting in the apartment and doing silly things like eating a Triple Layer Pancake (that is a story in itself). I will also get to spend time getting to know my freshman bible study girls. I unfortunately did not get to devote time to them last semester.
I am blessed.
I am blessed for the loved ones in my life. I would be no where today if it was not for my family and friends who support me and challenge me spiritually. I am delighted by the ones who will call me out on my sin. I am encouraged by the ones who are always listening to me and could care less to say a word. I am humbled by the ones who pray for me. I love each and everyone of you who are actively involved in my life.
And finally I give thanks.
I give thanks to my Lord who sent his one and only son to die on the cross for my sins so that I may live
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
