Every day that I live as a child of God life becomes more amazing. I feel like I'm entering a totally new chapter of my walk in which fellowship is becoming so vital. Obviously the most important part is the vertical relationship - but along with that - God is blessing me with some of the greatest people ever. They are funny, genuine people with such huge hearts for God and all of us around them. I love that I get to know them and become obsessed with their lives. I finally feel like I have a place where I belong on this campus which is SUCH a different feeling from last year and the beginning of this year when I was ready to pack my bags and head back to Texas.
Tonight we celebrated Krista's bday and went out to macaroni grill with a bunch of people - s0 fun.. omg wait... i have to rewind here or i'm not going to do this evening justice...
After baking a cake and then digging into it ourselves - krista and I headed down to my car to get my makeup out and I was like... we could just move this to a closer spot... so we got in and turned on the radio and became obsessed with Christian music so got out of the car and danced - then decided to chase the sun as it was setting so we hopped in, grabbed nate (after almost causing about 3 crashes) and chased after the sun, windows down, music blaring - two people's limbs out my windows/sunroof - so great.
Anyhow - after this - we headed to Macaroni Grill and had amazing conversation, singing, silliness, you name it. Nate went out and bought Krista C batteries and a card (secretly of course) and we all signed the card while sitting at the table without her noticing. Ok... just want to mention for a second how amazed I am with the men in my life right now. I mean, really, who acts like the most retarded/sweetest guy you'll ever meet - just to make you feel special?... those are the guys i know - such a different place from last year - sometimes I can't believe this is my life. O! the women too - i know - i feel like I haven't mentioned them at all - sorry - but I love you so much and ya'll are such joys to get to share my life with/comfort/be ridiculous with.
Mostly I just can't wait for more great times because it feels like every time i hang out with these people it's like another best night of my life and I couldn't choose a favorite if you asked me. Really --> I can't believe what God can do when you trust him. I came here this year with no friends and I'm leaving feeling like I'm overflowing. What else can he do?!!! can't wait to see ... i'm sure its more than anything I could ever imagine ... so i'll leave that up to Him and I'm sure ya'll will hear about it! :D
John 10:10 - I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (He's not kidding - ask me about it sometime)
O! and bebo norman - funny name - amazing singer - "nothing without you" - become obsessed ....GO!
