Excited. Joyful. Blessed. Giving Thanks.

Thus far I have had an amazing start to my semester...
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
