p.s. its my half-birthday!! : D

God is love.

what a happy happy day!! yay! not only did I get to start off the day with an awesome 714 prayer, I had my one-on-one with the beautiful Jillian! After that I had some great conversation of epiphanies and then guitar playing time! Easy classes, and then I got my first paper back in anthropology today! I was getting worried because almost all of the papers in front of mine weren't above a C-, and then I get mine backand it was an A-!!!! hehehe! I was SO pumped! Thank you Jesus for somehow making my paper good. :)! Then I curled my hair in ringlets because I could, haha, had dinner, then went to practice before the XA night of worship tonight. God was all over it and it was just so awesome, God has been all over today : )
I can't emphasize enough how great God is! I mean, I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams, I really have. Sometimes I catch myself not being content with my life, but then I try to remember that I'm a waiting period right now and I just need to try my hardest to grow in God as I wait for what God wants to do with me next! Oh man, wow Jesus, I love you! What a happy, wonderful day!

So I have been putting off updating for quite a while, mostly due to busyness, and doubting anyone actually reads this silly thing anymore, but I hope you do! : D!
So much has happened and yet not really anything has happened. I've been hanging out with my XA people a lot, as in like all the time, and I just feel so at home there, with everyone. Thank you God for those amazing people whoare all so in love with You!! Building friendships has been the goal and key to this first crazy semester of college thus far, my prayer is that those friendshipd continue to grow. My life group(bible study, small group etc) is amazing! We talked aobut being romanced by our Beloved and our King, and we all got beautiful roses from our Jesus, yay! (haha thank you Jillian) hmmmm not a ton else going on really. Midterms are almost all over hooray! and I'm surviving!
God you are so amazing and so beautiful my King. I love you. And you love me with an everlasting love. Your grace is too good for me, yet you bestow on my life freely and gladly. You are wondrous my Love. Thank you for the songs of love and blessing that You sing over my life.
I really am overwhelmed with blessing, I want everyone else to have a piece of it. Taste and see that the Lord is good. More than good. Amazing, wonderful, marvelous, awesome, astounding, incredible, magnificent, extraordinary, heroic, splendid, majestic. You are glorious my King and I want to orship you with all I am and everything You created me to be. Thank you that I can know You.
Wow God, you astound me. I'm speechless in Your presence. All I can do is humbly bow in awe of You, of everything You are.

Likeness of Jesus by jonathan david helser
I want the cry of Moses
I want the ears of Samuel
I want the heart of Mary
But most of all, I want the likeness of Jesus

I want the prayers of Daniel
I want the voice of John
I want the walk of Enoch
But most of all, I want the likeness of Jesus

From glory to glory
I am transformed
Nothing's between us
The veil has been torn

I want to be holy as He is holy
I want to be righteous as He is righteous
I want to be loving as He is loving
But most of all I want to be like Jesus.
