it's wednesday...can you even believe it!?!?!?!

my heart is dancing with excitement today....

its skipping.

its basking in the sunlight.

today is a good day and God has done an unbelievable job of refreshing me these last couple days and making His pursuit of me so obvious.

today muncie is bursting with sunshine.

and it is absolutely breathtaking... it makes me want to climb a tree..

or dance a jig...

or litter the sidewalk with chalk drawings...

or set up a lemonade stand...

or just hug people....

i got to talk with 3 of my most favorite virginia tech-ers...and my heart has not settled since i hung up my phone.

yesterday, i talked with my dear texan friend...and was reminded of what it's like when someone is so filled with faith...

we talked about dreams and what we think about the future...

i so value her opinion...

so now i'm determined...

i will dream...and satan can just deal with the fact that he's not winning this one....not ever again...

as you may have read in the last couple posts this semester has been ridiculously stressful.

satan has been attacking my heart, and often times i've just given up resisting...and given in to a whole lot of funks...

i've finally put my foot down, and given him an active "absolutely not..."

because this year...

this year has so much potential...

far too much to let a bunch of measly funks ruin.

so lets share in this delightful autumn sunshine...

things you should know...

1. i'm sorry that i have neglected blogging...as sad as this may sound... i think my heart has been missing it.

2. this has been a difficult semester (emotionally, relationally, spiritually)... and i have cried so much more than i'm used to

3. the afore-mentioned crying has been extremely helpful... and although i used to hate crying... the feeling i get after a good cry may be my new favorite thing.

4. God is doing a work in my heart and my life... i am positive that the end result will be mind-blowing (to me, at least) but this has been so much harder than i imagined

5. i have been blessed with the greatest friends on this planet.... and that may seem super sentimental... but they should know that they are stellar....

6. i have a boyfriend that cares for my heart in a way that i never knew was possible...i'm so thankful that God has given him the heart that he has

7.....this year has so much potential...please remind me to always look for that.
