Summing It Up

Senior Year, week 1:

*Being a senior is awesome.  Having a schedule that allows you to enjoy being a senior is even more awesome.

*I went running this morning. And I almost got hit. By a BAT. Perhaps I am running too early in the morning…

*I hung out with dear friends and put on an old movie, and colored out of a Disney Princess coloring book.  I love college.

*I have woken up to loud, obnoxious construction work every morning save one: the morning that I woke up to a loud, majestic thunderstorm.

*Piano recitals don't look quite as scary when you know what you're playing…and when they're still 8 months away.

*Living on the third floor provides a nice haven from extra foot traffic in the hallways, and is a great way to get in shape.

*The third floor window provides an amazing view of the sunset

The sunset on Monday: stunning. 
*I have the fewest number of classes I've ever taken, and the most amount of reading to do: go figure.

*The desk chairs in our dorm room terrify me in the way they lean backwards and will most likely result in my having a heart attack.

*Sanctification is a process: both a slow and a joyful one.

*It's September now.  Come on, Fall, come quickly.

"But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life."  [Romans 6:22]

I might have to work on the chair issue . .we really can't have you having a heart attack at the young age of 18! love your blog and your gift of writing and your encouragement to me!

true, mom. it would have been sad if i had had a heart attack at 18. thankfully, i've made it to 21...but having a heart attack now would also be sad.
