snow

This past week has been interesting enough, considering after 4 years I got to experience my first full snow day in college! I remember walking out of the house and it was really like a winter wonderland! What wasn't so wonderlandish was that it took me 45 minutes to uncover my car from the layers of snow and ice. I can't say that I have seen campus look so pretty. Just another way I remember what a beautiful place God has created for us. This semester has been tough so far, not academically, but life wise. I continue to constantly think about the end of the semester and what it is I will be doing. I want to end up in Louisville, but I look at myself now, and realize all the things that have to change between now and May. I just wish I could wake up one day and have it figured out for me. However I have realized that the best things that I have experienced in my life have come unplanned and as a surprise. I know that is how God works sometimes, and I just need to continue to trust him and know that he is looking out for me.



I think my goal for this coming week is to really focus on being content. I know I am so restless because I am not content. It isn't that I am not appreciative of my life, I just can't seem to find peace within it. I am constantly trying to change and fix things with myself and those who are in my life, but the thing is even if there was a problem, I don't think I have taken enough time to look at my life to let an answer come. I need to focus on being content with my situation and with myself. I feel like sometimes I have lost that peace that I had which resulted from just loving myself and loving the situation in which God has placed my life. I think this week I just need to be still and not try to fix anything or anyone, and just really listen to what it is that God has to say to me. I just need to rest in the knowledge that I am living for something bigger than me, something heavenly.



I am excited about going home to see my family this Saturday for my mothers birthday! I love my mom and she is one of my best friends, who I know has spent many nights on her knees in prayer for my sisters and I. I can only thank God for putting such a wonderful woman in my life, a wonderful example of how a Christian woman should live. I can't wait to celebrate her birthday with her. She is absolutely unbelievable.



This past weekend I found out my cousin was in the hospital because of muscle spasms which had turned into paralysis, it appeared that he may have had a spinal stroke. However thanks to much prayer from family and friends, he and his wife are both at home, and he is slowly gaining his motion back and was able to walk earlier this week. I am so thankful for answered prayers. I will continue to pray for them as he adjusts back into his daily routine, and that this wonderful miracle bring them and our whole family closer to God.





for love, peace and contentment.
