I haven't been very good at updating this thing. My life has been pretty consumed with work and school.
Work: I'm working full time as a student worker-its mostly scanning, shredding, writing reciepts and other random things involving paper. The job itself is pretty boring, but I work with some incredible girls. I'm also just getting to build relationships with women who have such extreme backgrounds and different paths of life. It's definately a diverse community here, and I'm really learning alot.
School: I'm taking Calculus online. Possibly the worst idea ever. But I'm getting through, currently have a 70 average! It's a ton of homework without much time. I however only have 2 weeks left, and I will be done with math forever!
In a couple of weeks I'll be heading to Youth camp with my home church as a sponsor and I'm so excited! Youth girls are so great, and its such a blessing to have the oppertunity to hang out with them and see the Lord work through them, and me.

Worthy of Love
"You make me worthy of love and beautiful."-Bethany Dillion, Beautiful.
That line resonates within my heart so well. I often catch myself longing more and more for love, without pursuing the Maker of love, the one who is himself Love. The whole concept of love overwhelms me when I try to comprehend all that it incompasses. It is a desire that every person desires, for no one ever really wishes to be loved less. It is something we do naturally, as people fall in love daily, have babies, and take care of their parents. But I have come to the conclusion that love would not exist without grace, the same grace that covers us when we accept Christ as our Savior and covers our sins. As we long for love, we are longing for God (this explanation is just a thought processes, so don't quote me). And as we recieve love, we are recieving grace. And by loving others, the Lord is moving.
"I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faitfullness and you will acknowledge the Lord."- Hosea 2:19-20
