it's wednesday, and what a beautiful wednesday it is.
despite the biting cold air, the sun is shining and mittens are being worn.
well...not right now, mittens make it somewhat difficult to type, regardles...

this week has been refreshing so far.
i just finished a book called "the shack" this morning and it's been encouragement that i've very much needed...it's spurring me on anyways.
it further stirred the desire in me to be more like Christ. it painted such a beautiful picture of my Savior, his true desire for us, his dismay with institutions and how real he truly is....
i pray that i will daily become more like Christ, knowing that my mistakes will only bring us closer together...
eek....thank God for mercy and grace.

...on another note.
i walked into my room after my first three class this morning with a wrapped package on my desk chair...
my roommate gave me a late birthday gift!!!
i don't know about you, but i think late birthday gifts are such a joy, they're like an extension of the excitement of a birthday.
and you'll never guess what the gift was...The ReadyMade book on how to make {almost} everything!!!
this book is going to set me up for quite an adventure, so many things that i can make for my house/apartment next year!!! eekkkkk!!!!

well, i must go. econ is calling my name (although i would prefer to ignore it)
so get out...enjoy this day, silly!
