Well its officially April!! :) I love this time of year..when its finally starting to warm up and you know that summer is right around the corner!!I love it when the seasons change! It seems like God knows exactly the right time to move on to the next one! I love the winter and the fall but I am ready for FLIP FLOP weather! Tomorrow is my close friend Kayla's twenty-first birthday!! Happy Birthday Kayla!! It is so crazy how time flies..our birthdays are exactly one month apart so I know my turn is coming up fast!! I was cleaning out my closet not too long ago and I found a box of old birthday cards I had saved and I found one from Kayla when we were 13! It doesn't seem like that long ago... Wow!!
As far as April fools goes I have always wanted to pull a good prank on someone but I can never pull it off! I am not a very good liar so it is hard for me to pull pranks on people! Ha Ha!! Maybe next year! But the good news is that I have not been pranked either so I guess I can't complain!! Well this time next month I will officially be DONE with my first semester at LCU! It has gone by fast and its been fun but I am def looking forward to summer! Sadly, along with the end of the semester comes finals!!! GULP!! I am not looking forward to those but I am sure I will survive! :)
Well God has blessed me once again!! I know I shouldn't be surprised when He does but I just can't get over how amazing He is! Everytime something awesome happens or He answers a prayer I just find myself in complete Awe of Him! Everytime...it NEVER gets old! Yesterday I went over to my friend Desiree's house to talk about our schedule for next semester and ended up having the most amazing conversation with her about how wonderful God is and about how he always directs our steps even when it seems like nothing important or exciting is happening! Well yesterday was a perfect example of exactly how He does that! Desiree emailed me this morning and told me that God used our conversation in order to bring her peace and encouragement! Plus, she got a phone call last night from a friend who was having a rough time and she shared what we talked about and was able to encourage her friend as well! So just a simple get together ended up being what God used to encourage Desiree and her friend! It just goes to show that when we ask God to use us and to direct our steps he does! Even when you don't even realize it! And this morning God used Desiree to encourage me by sharing what happened last night! God is so awesome and he ALWAYS brings things full circle! For we have the hope "that in ALL THINGS God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
