First Day of February Feels Like Spring...

& I am 100% okay with this weather. Seriously.
This is why I love the "Spring" semester.
It starts off depressing, in a sense, with the cold, possibility of snow, winds, sicknesses,
holidays, etc. And then, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Right when the semester
is almost over, the leaves change colors, and the weather is nice enough
to drive fast to school with the windows down and music blaring.
Oh man, only 85 more days until Finals, too? Come on, let's get this over with.
I'm ready for summer.

On a real positive note,
the church-wide fast was successful and
a true blessing to do it with friends, love, and family.
I've had my down moments through it with a few curveballs,
but ultimately I was blessed by it. I've realized that I don't need
Facebook or Twitter. It's just an "add-on" to my busy life.
AND it distracts me from school work, and my relationship.
Who would've thought that one could live without it? But yes,
I am back on facebook, just cut back on it.

Same with fast food. I don't really need it, but I used fast food
as an excuse and as a convenience since I'm constantly on the run.
However, it's very unhealthy and I'm wasting money on something
I can take 10 minutes out of my day and fix a sandwich.

Where to start with my walk with God? It's been a rollercoaster.
Things have been great, however, school is in full effect
and I've been putting off my time with Him and doing other
things I'd rather be doing during my "time away from responsibilities".
I know, I know, that makes me sound like a horrible Christ-follower. But
I'm human. and He still loves me. I will grow closer to Him when my heart
catches up with my busy schedule.

I was completely blessed during my fast to see my wonderful
man make a public declaration of His faith with being baptized.
It was such a beautiful moment to watch him share his entire testimony
and hear 75% of the church crying because of his story.
I just love that man.

God's really showing His promises in our relationship, too.
I'm seeing transformations happen each day. & I'm leaning on Him
always to keep Stephen & I connected.

Mkay, enough sappiness. God is good, like always.
Love, friendships, and family are good too.
