Since I haven't written in a while, this might be kind of long.
A) God is good. So good.
I'm daily overwhelmed by his faithfulness and unconditional love.
I can't believe how much He's blessed me so far this semester.
I mean, don't get me wrong - it's had it's ups and downs, but God is faithful and constant through the storm.
He anchors my Soul.

B) I used to be legalistic.
God and I are working on that.
It's a slow process to extract the poison legalism has left in my blood stream.
I no longer read my bible because I feel a sense of obligation, but because I want to.
I find JOY in Christ, not shackles.
There is freedom in Christ.
In enjoying His embrace.

C) Love. Love. Love.
I love Jesus. So much.
I'm head over heels.
I'm overwhelmed.
I'm starstruck.
I love talking to Him.
When I first wake up, when I go to sleep, and everything inbetween.
Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.
His love is astounding. Breathetaking. Awe-inspiring.
And Oh, so undeserved.

D) This summer was hard. Yes. It sucked.
Pain. Anguish. Darkness.
Through the storms, we learn the most.
We grow. We're refined.
I've learned so much.
I've grown so much.
I've found peace.
I've found rest.
I've found the heart of Christ.

E) I'm so grateful for Jesus.
I can't even begin to describe it.
I'm so excited to get to grown in my love for Him.
How can I love Him any more?
I fear that I may burst from my affection for Him.

F) Time flies.
I can't believe it's nearly thanksgiving already.
I mean, seriously. What is this?
NWC is wonderful.
I grew so much at Bethel, and learned so many needed lessons,
but I'm loving my time at NWC.
I love the design department.
The students are great.
The professors are super encouraging and caring.
The campus is beautiful.
The Holy Spirit is moving.

G) Sometimes I don't desire God.
That's true.
Today I do, but it's a day by day thing.
I'm praying.
I'm fighting.
And more importantly - Jesus is fighting for me.

H) Chai is good.
Coffee is great.
Praise God for warm drinks and caffeine.

I) I'm so blessed by my friends.
I can't even handle it.
I was thinking back to last year and the fears of freshman year, and the fears that came with transferring.
God is so good, and He truly hears the cries of my heart.
He's provided me with awesome friends - and for that I am eternally grateful.

J) I love living in the romance of the Lord.
His quiet whispers in the wind.
His warm embrace in the Sun's rays.
His gentle reminder of His love for me through the shadows the trees create.
Creation is remarkable. Astounding. Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful.
AND - the same hands that fashioned the earth fashioned me.
How crazy is that?

K) I used to think "oh, psalms are for the weak who can't read the real meat of the bible"
but then God was like "Aunica, you're being dumb. Isn't the WHOLE bible breathed by Me?
And, as usual, God was right. The Psalms are so good. I'm so blessed by the time I've been able to spend so far reading them.

L) Peace, Rest, Comfort.
Instead of freaking out when things aren't planned like I did last year, I'm way more chill.
I don't know where I'll be this summer. I don't know what's going on next weekend.
I don't know what I'll do tomorrow.
But, instead of freaking out or getting stressed - I'm peaceful.
The Lord is in control.
He steers me, He pilots me.
I just have to sit back and enjoy the ride.

M) I just want to glorify God.
So bad.

N) Complacency is easy.
I hate it. That's for sure.
I hate that busyness is the idol satan uses right now.
I hate that he takes my classes and friends and fills my time so I go days without realizing I haven't been spending solid amounts of time with Jesus.
Prayer is my weapon.

O) I love my roommate.
For reals. Thanks Jesus for Ang.
She's wonderful, sassy, and a great friend.
I'm so blessed.

P) I'm excited for thanksgiving. To be thankful.
I'm excited for Christmas to celebrate Jesus' birth.
I love holidays. I love home. I can't wait to go back.

Q) I'm thankful for jean dresses. Curly hair. Endorphins. Sunshine. Jesus. Josh Garrells. Music. Creation. The sky. Art. Art. Art. Design. the unknown. Music that just speaks to your ears. Wow. So beautiful.
