oh dang. i'm done. done with 8 exams, a nine page research paper, opera scenes, listening logs, and i don't even want to think of what else. and Jesus was the only way i got through it.

...and i get to go home tomorrow for the first time since JULY!!!!

(a little exited, aren't we?)
Merry Christmas, everyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEESH!!

i love you.
:)

there's a smile on my face, and it's all because of Noel. :)
i'm so happy for you, dear!

sometimes the Lord shows his goodness to me in such an overwhelming way that i don't even know how to respond.

thank you, Jesus. i don't ever want to forget that you are the source of all things good and true.

Dang, Jesus has been showing up in a HUGE way lately.

it's amazing how he can turn the worst of circumstances into something utterly beautiful.
what an awesome example of his grace to see encouragement that you never deserved or even knew existed...

what a day.

"My grace is sufficient for you..."

if only I would let that sink in. If only I could listen when God says that he will fight for me, and i have only to keep still. is that so hard?

so...this is it!

peace out, yall. i'm going to africa.

you know, it's nice to unwind and everything, but sometimes it's tough being all by yourself for extended periods of time...

so...i leave for Mozambique in 19 days. not that i'm counting or anything ( Read more... )

you know how just one thing, say, a movie, will trigger a million other things in you that turn you into a crying little mess and you wish you could just turn it off?

dang it. i wish girls (me included) weren't so emotional.
