Wow! It's been a super long time since I've posted on here!!! Short summary of my life since October :) I was at home for Halloween! :) We had a creative arts night in Frederick which was great. The Holy Spirit really moved that night and it was great to worship with all of my friends! November was filled with school work! Until Thanksgiving!!! :) I went home for thanksgiving and for the first time..i think ever...i was truly grateful just to be sitting with my whole family eating. I never really appreciated it like I should have growing up. Sitting with people who know you and love you unconditionally, it's really amazing. I miss my family a whole bunch and it was great just to spend that week with them! I also was completely moved on Thanksgiving and during the week thinking about Christmas and what God did for me. I think really this is the first time its hit me this hard. God sent his son..a family member..to die for me. It's crazy. I don't think I would give up a family member even for my best friend. I don't know, I was just completely in awe during thanksgiving for the gift of Jesus. The song "How Many Kings" really puts it into words for me ...
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliness hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?
Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
It’s who we’ve waited for
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me
I'm so humbled just with the thought of what Jesus did for me. It puts a fire in my heart to live for him. Anyway, i guess I'll stop preaching now! I also got to hang out with my high school friends over break! That was great and much needed! :) Just to chill and to talk about all of our experiences with college. I planned my schedule for next semester! I'm going to be working hard! I have classes every day of the week instead of just Monday Wednesday and Friday! It's going to be a busy semester!!!!
Keep me in your prayers during the next few weeks! Finals are coming up, then Christmas break! Miss you guys!!
