so...it's may.

it has clearly been quite some time since i last posted...fail. i thought, like one might think, that with finals all done i would have all the time in the world to do fun things such as blog. whelp, wrong. i've been somewhat busier now than i was like all semester. just visiting people, shopping, working, family time, etc. it has been a real blast, but the reality of me leaving home for the entire summer in 10 days is crazy. still a lot to pack. luckily, i've purchased all i need to get for the summer minus one or two items. phew. still some people to see and some conversations to have :) fun times.

as i've been home i've been able to read this book called Forgotten God, by Francis Chan. the book is a MUST-READ. it is so good and it deals with the Holy Spirit. it is a truly convicting and challenging book. i was most def convicted of something a lot of believers do...we form our opinions on 'hot topics' or really any topic and we THEN search for scripture that backs it up. contrary to the correct way to go about this...pray about a topic and search in the word FIRST, then make your view on it from the Bible. and honestly, do we approach the Bible in humility that we could be wrong on certain issues? or do we search it completely biased to what we've been taught or what we think is correct...hm. good stuff.

exciting news..two of my good friends from camp got engaged the other day! ah! i'm going to be a bridesmaid in the wedding (my first time being a bridesmaid :) )! ah! i am just so excited for the two of them and i think they will have such a wonderful marriage and i cannot wait to see their journey together. they both love the Lord a whole lot and i know that they will continue to seek Him as they become one. through their experience i just realize how much of a romantic i am. i love, love. hah. silly, but completely true. it's totally fine because i cannot seem to be any more joyous for them :) yayay! keep you posted on the wedding plans, etc :)

now--off to work.
