Just sitting here blogging and painting my fingernails. :) yeauh. I am probably obsessed with nail polish a little too much. haha!
But anyways, let's talk! Many excellent things occurred in the previous span of 24 hours for me. First, I decided I'm going to be studying abroad sometime next year. Right now it's looking like I will be studying in Germany next spring (2011). I am so unbelievably pumped. I've filled out most of my application and just have to get my reference forms done, then I will be closer to having my spot reserved for study abroad in Germany. :) The choices were Oxford in the fall and germany in the spring. Here's why I choose Germany: 1. I've already been to England and wasn't a fan. 2. The courses offered in Germany seem more interesting and apply to my major. 3. I've never been to Germany and will have many opportunities that semester to travel all over Europe on small trips. :) So, there's my reasoning! I adore traveling. I want to see as much of God's creation as possible. Traveling is a top passion/goal for my life I guess? Yes. :) I am so excited.
This may be minor to you, but I am an extreme fan of LOST! and tonight was the premiere. It was so good, I enjoyed it! I wish I would have been able to watch it at home with my dad and step mom, who are also hooked on LOST.
I had an amazing run tonight. I had sooooo much built up adrenaline that I needed to let loose. It felt so good. I'm so blessed that God has given me the ability to run. It's one of my favorite ways to connect with God & with nature. :)
I'm really happy with my life right now- not because of current circumstances, but because I am growing more and more with God each day. He is showing me how beautifully He romances me and how He completely meets all of my desires and needs. I've never gotten so close to that place. Falling for God is amazing, because He will always catch me. His feelings for me never leave or run out. I am His bride forever, which I still can't grasp my mind around- but it is freeing. Obviously, I still desire marriage and relationship with my future husband one day- but now I am starting to see how I don't "need" that. You know? I am content with God and He will never fail me. I am starting to completely trust Him. He's taking me deeper and deeper each day. Man, I wish every person in the world could experience His love the way I have! By no means am I a "perfect person" or "perfect follower of Christ." I am far from that, and I most certainly have not mastered faith. God is just increasing my faith. I am growing in my walk with Him- becoming more familiar with His leading and letting myself walk out into the unknown trusting that His plans are for good. And, they definitely are- it's always for my good. He has my best interest at heart. The other day, I was talking with God near my favorite place on campus- Jacob's Dream- and he told me to be quiet because He wanted to tell me what He thought and felt about me. It was funny and amazing at the same time. Funny, that he told me to stop praising him for a minute so He could express His love for me. You know, often times I can't find the words to truly express to God how great He really is because God is not contained by words. That day, God told me that words aren't enough to express His love to me. That makes me think of this verse: Psalm 139: 17-18 "How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. " That's probably one of the most romantic things about God, I think. To try to even imagine the number of ALL of the sand in the ENTIRE WORLD- is just mind boggling. That's a heck of a lot of sand, and a heck of a lot of thoughts all about me, and about you. ;) God is so good! His love is immeasurable! crazy stuff!
Well, it's somewhat late and my sleep schedule hasn't been the best lately, so I'm going to get some shut eye.
I'll post again tomorrow if time permits. :)
Remember, capture each moment of life because time is running out. The clock will stop ticking some day, and eternity will be all that's left. Make it count, make it purposeful, and love without end. Die so you can live.
Love y'all (imagine that with a texan accent that I don't really have ;) )
Just a messenger,
Meagan Kate :)
