OK, don't shoot me (all 2 of you that read this); I know it's been a while and SO much has happened, as it has been doing the past 3 years of my life. I've recently realized that life changes far more often than it did earlier on in life. New jobs, new friends, new relationships, new faith.
I haven't talked about it on here yet, but since I returned from Bible and Beach, I've started a new challenge. The speaker there challenged all the girls to spend as much time in the Word, "training" in our walk as we do in front of the mirror "training" our looks for the day. It was just the encouragement I needed to get into the Word more often, for I'd been lacking the discipline.
So, here I am, 1 1/2 months into the task, and I'm still going strong (by the grace of God). I decided to go through the New Testament chronologically, so I've thoroughly read, taken notes on, and asked questions about I and II Thessalonians, Galatians, and I'm about to finish up Romans. It's taken me a month just to get through that last one... so many questions! so much unknown! It's amazing to see how I thought I "knew" the Bible, until I began actually paying attention to what each verse said. God is doing a great thing through this.
School is almost out. I am 3 days and 3 finals away from becoming a senior! That's such a scary thought! I remember like it was a year ago, walking into high school for the first time. Now I'm about to walk out of it. Have I left the mark I wanted to? Done what God's asked of me? I have one more year. There's no turning back.
AND, of course I must say, I now have a wonderful boyfriend. Haven't had a real-go-on-dates kind of boyfriend EVER, and no "boyfriend" since March 2008. Out of all my closest friends, only 1 has not had one yet, so it's been awhile comin'. Jon is such a blessing, and I'm excited to see what's in store for us :) A heart for the Lord, a sweet, sweet spirit, masculinity, compassion, and some good looks make me quite the lucky gal.
Well, must be going now... watching little Zoe-face! :)
