I don't think I will ever fully comprehend Love. Why, oh why does God choose to love us traitorous sinners and give us some of His glory? I know the "Christian answers" but I don't really know why. Why do I love other people? Sometimes it just seems so natural to want what's best for someone (I'm not just talking about a nice happy feeling when I ( Read more... )

I hate being sick, but Andy has been taking good care of me. I'm so not used to anybody outside my immediate family being so willing to show how much they care. When I was really sick the other night and couldn't sleep cause I was too hot, he came all the way down from his room on the 19th floor to bring me a fan at 1:30 in the morning. And he ( Read more... )

Yesterday was so much fun. I went to Warren Dunes in Michigan with a bunch of people from Houghton 5 North and Culby 19 (including Andy). It took about an hour and a half to get there and we drove through Indiana. The first thing we did was climb the biggest mountain of sand there. That was exhausting, but rewarding. The view was great and we were ( Read more... )

Well yesterday was a very emotional day for me. Who knows why, but I decided to look through my pictures on my computer and just started crying when I saw the faces of all the people I'm close with. Yeah, I even went up on the roof and laid in the hammock and cried more, then suddenly I was laughing for absolutely no reason, then kind of crying ( Read more... )

*Sigh* :) I am totally in love. Today was so wonderful. After an interesting morning of PCM training and an hour commute (though I did get to catch up with a friend from Spokane who transferred to Chicago last semester on the ride back)I was invited to go to the beach by Brooke with a bunch of other girls (most of whom I didn't really know). It was ( Read more... )

Friday night was pretty fun. All of us from Redwood (and Andy) went on an adventure because we had to wait so long for dinner. We ended up eating at Giordano's and we went to the mall and Borders while we waited. It was fun. All the girls thought me and Andy were perfect for each other. I think I agree. I loved it when he stood behind me after ( Read more... )

Wow. Sam and Kory's wedding was simply awesome in every way. The decorations and dresses were beautiful and everyone was so happy. And I have never seen a more God-centered ceremony in my life. Those two are so encouraging. I loved their vows and how deliberate they were. They really showed that they understood the immensity of the task and ( Read more... )

It's been an amazing week. I've cried and I've laughed and I've hugged people. I am so happy for so many reasons, yet I am so sad to be leaving this place and these people I've come to love. *Sigh* My family arrived a little before 7:30 am yesterday and we had a great time at Riverfront Park. Emily and I rode the 1909 carousel. It was really fast ( Read more... )

I sat by Liz in chapel today (the last one and it was all music and prayer). I cried so hard. I am SO BLESSED beyond measure and I think that is why I am so sad to leave. I'm gonna miss her so much. In one semester we've become like best friends (the same with Andy). I'm trying so hard not to dwell on the sadness because I want to make the most out ( Read more... )

*Sigh* I'm gonna miss Spokane so much. I truly love it here (even though I always miss home and people there). I could live here. There is so much of God's beautiful creation in the NorthWest: trees more than you can count, flowers everywhere, a gorgeous river, and lakes and mountains nearby, plus the downtown city life in the midst of all this ( Read more... )
