Ready

The end of the semester is coming faster than I ever thought it would! I'm ok with that, though. I am ready for a break with no homework to take home with me. I'm ready to do something completely worthless of my time and not worry about it. I'm ready to sleep in! Anyway, I was just thinking about how different my perception of college is now compared to when I first came. I was telling someone today that when I first walked in my dorm it seemed to foreign and now every time I walk in it is so familiar. I was thinking about how when I came here I felt like my relationship with God was kind of on that alien level. I wasn't sure how to change that, but since I have been here I have grown so much. God is just showing me how he just wants to have a real relationship with me and not just make me do all these things so he'll be my friend. Even though I don't get a revelation every day and we don't have chapels like summit week, I am still hearing God's voice. He is showing himself to me through the people that I love here and the situations that challenge me. I mess up a lot and have to ask for forgiveness, but he's there to offer it and that's what he wants me to know. So, even though I'm tired of going to classes and taking tests and having projects due, I'm so thankful to God for the semester that he has given me. He has drawn me closer to him and shown me his truths

The Skies can't keep their secret!

They tell it to the Hills --

The Hills just tell the Orchards --

And they -- the Daffodils!

A Bird -- by chance -- that goes that way --

Soft overhears the whole --

If I should bribe the little Bird --

Who knows but she would tell?

I think I won't -- however --

It's finer -- not to know --

If Summer were an Axiom --

What sorcery had Snow?

So keep your secret -- Father!

I would not -- if I could,

Know what the Sapphire Fellows, do,

In your new-fashioned world!

I took this picture on my way to go swimming last week. Isn't that an amazing sunrise! Fall is my favorite season and every day I walk outside God's creation amazes me. And to think this was taken in Indiana is also amazing! Just thought I would share it with all!
