It seems as though it's been forever since I've written a journal entry. God has certainly been good to me in too many ways to count. I have been learning so much this week from the Founder's Week speakers and reading on my own. However, I have to remember to make the time to sit down and really think through these things that are floating around ( Read more... )

I hate how I always forget the stuff I talk about with good friends. I do remember one part though. Sam, Katie, and I were reading our Bibles at a coffee shop on Center Street and I had a really cool idea. I think it came when I was reading the end of Proverbs, but then I read some of the New Testament passages that talk about specific descriptions ( Read more... )

I'm bummed that I never took the time to write down all the stuff Linda and I talked about on our hike. I really enjoyed it, but I've forgotten most of the details of our conversation. I just know that we pretty much covered everything I am passionate about. :D We even found a secret tree swing out in the hills. We joked about how romantic a spot ( Read more... )

Yesterday and today have been pretty fun. I'm really enjoying all the snow even though it's cold (obviously). I just can't get over how pretty it is and I get really excited about snowflakes cause I've never seen them like I do here. I can't believe it really sparkles like that fake snow! So yesterday I went ice skating with Ryan, Tina, and Andy in ( Read more... )

I feel so happy and sad at the same time. It seems like it's happening again. Everyone I care most about and want to get to know more has to be separated from me by state lines for miles and miles. I don't know if I've ever known such wonderful women of God. They instantly show how much they care and they implement their faith every day and they ( Read more... )

It's turning out to be a very nice day. I woke up to snowfall covering everything and our floor decorated last night so everything is all pretty and festive. Finally got to go shopping with Ashley High and found a gift for the bridal shower today. Then I got to play in the snow, first with Ashley, then with Andy. I made a snow-angel and later had a ( Read more... )

I've been reading Scripture and praying a lot the past couple days since Andy asked me if I thought I was ready to hear more about his past. Before then I think I always thought I was like I had some kind of right to know everything and I was curious, but now I honestly don't know if I really want to know so badly. It just scares me and I can't ( Read more... )

:) It was really fun to talk to Andy's mom and mine at the same time on Facebook today. It's always nice to feel connected to home. The time has come to figure out what to get everyone for Christmas. I have a list of people but I only have ideas for half of them. I should get most of my family's soon ( Read more... )

It seems weird now to write as if no one is reading when I know someone is. ;) Looking back at many of my journal entries over the years, I have noticed how often I simply record what happened or what people said just for the sake of my own memory. But I will do my best to keep this a journal and not a digital letter ( Read more... )

*Sigh* Wow it's been a long time since I've written on here. School is kinda crazy with me taking 21 credits and all, but for the most part I really like it here in Chicago. Recently I've felt some tension between me and my roommate, but I don't really know if there's anything that can be done. Pretty much the two problems are 1) she's a very light ( Read more... )
