long time. no post.

life has been going so fast! since wednesday i've been busy..very busy. had some awesome moments with some awesome friends. thursday was eventful. classes coupled with shagging at night. awesome fun. got to skype with rachel, who is in thailand right now :) yay. awesome to hear about her crazy fun life across the world! shagging was also fun. got to see some friends that i haven't seen like this entire semester. awesome to see what the Lord has been doing in their lives, so encouraging. friday was a good day as well! classes, basketball, and soccer! i played soccer with my friend josh and some youth from his home church. it was sooo much fun. great to be back on the field too, seeing that i miss being apart of a team. last night we had some people over to our apartment. one of them being a girl named angela! she is from malaysia (sp?). got to hear about life across the ocean, totally great. we watched some trutv (cops, etc)...then played skip-bo and spoons. oh-we love spoons at this apartment. today i woke up and just got back from playing volleyball and lifting weights with on of my roomies, aubrey. had a blast. now, we have goals to meet before dinner...we have lots of school, but also want to fit in some movies? we'll see about all this chaos!
so...lately, God has been continuing to be near to my heart. i have found such a blessing and excitement from telling people what He has done for me lately and the many ways that i have grown. many people check in on and me and see how i am really doing and it is the perfect opportunity to share that in the midst of heartbreak i feel closest to the Lord, ironic huh? not so much, at all. it is the moments when we are truly broken we experience Him all the more. makes me want to be broken a lot more often...was reminded yesterday what john piper told us at passion. when we feel most insiginifcant, we have the most joy. also that the Lord wants us to worship Him and give Him glory not for His selfishness, but out of His love for us. what i mean to say is...God knows we can only experience complete joy when we are completely focused on Him; therefore, He desires our worship and praise because that is when we are tuly complete. idk if that makes any sense or not. still grasping God's greatness. will be forever, actually. okay-now to school.
