So I have a few thoughts I want to share:
This year, that is almost coming to an end [what?!], has felt like much more than a year. It has felt like a life time. Good Lord there's been just this constant shifting of my heart - and sometimes I feel like I'm not healing at all. But I look back at all of what has happened this year and where I am today and I know Jesus has really intervened and done lots of healing and is continuing this healing process.
Some things that I feel blessed by this year:
1.God
2.My boyfriend =)
3.The wonderful women God has placed in my life to mentor me [Becky,Hannah,Lisa,Amanda,Kathryn,Brittany]
4.Knuha RA staff
5.Green hall <3
6.The 2 placements at schools I have got to do [both being hmong...which was randomly chosen for me...]
7. The 30 hours of volunteering i get to do at a Christian Daycare that is right by the metrodome...I get to hang out with pre-schoolers who come from low-income homes and single parent homes!!! AND I get to hug them =) [they told me I could!!].
8.New friends [my commuter friends! and having lunch bunch on wednesdays in the library =)] and growing closer with current ones
9. being able to dance with the girls in my hall for Knuha Day and express my heart.
10. being able to be a part of another dance for chapel in April and getting to learn it from an awesome woman that was a part of the ballet academy for 2 years. <-- in all of that having Dancing redeemed for me, so that it it's not about performing but worshiping..WOW.
11. My amazing education teachers...I just love Mrs. Leclaire and Dr.Banks <--they have taught me SO much about teaching, about people and about passion.
12. Being broken and being given more of a hunger for God's word -- I asked for it and He is giving it to me!!! woohoo
13. Understanding God's word more, even when I'm not reading it.
14. The sunshine and the view from my window in my room
15. My roommate... and growing closer with her.
16. The closeness I have gained with Clark...WOW...and the healing that that relationship is bringing and has brought.
God is REALLY blessing me. He is good, I need to remember that. I need to remember that He IS taking care of my needs. Every single one of them.
Well, it is off to a group project for me.
I hope that as you read this you can be blessed!
