Dear lovely people who read this,
Despite the grayness and cloudy, overcast day; it sure has been beautiful!
So it goes like this. God pretty much is amazing! It's true. He has awakened in me a new joy for life.
Writing post after post about how depressing life is, is simply getting old. I have been beyond blessed!
Just because my dear professor for New Testament says we are here to study...does not mean we are banned from expieriencing the sweetness of life. I'm so freakin' excited about life!
Today has been so filled with JOY. This morning was filled with beautiful friends and hot chocolate and scripture.
Failed philosopy midterm.. I've since decided that philosophy lowers my self-esteem.
Then ran back to my dorm and chillaxed while waiting for mom.
What a beautiful afternoon with my dear mother. She felt impressed by the Holy Spirit to go to Panera, so we walk in and two seconds later this lady was like, "So, would you like the job you interviewed for?" And I was like, "Heck yes I would!" Praise Jesus for that! He is so good and worthy of all the heart-filled praise and thanksgiving I have!
Ate, fellowshipped, and shopped. My sweet mom gave me two early Christmas presents. I got these awesomely awesome brown leather vintagey looking boots. And, a teal coat. Teal is cool. Red is cooler.
Bible study tonight with some freaking, ridiculosly cool people!
Oh, I've decided to take up baking. Now, my history with baking/and cooking/...really anything to do with an oven, has actually not turned out right. I messed up pineapple upside down cake and it wasn't even in the oven. I set it on a burner that was still hot!
But I'm giving it one more try. Especially since I'm having a huge craving for chocolately goodness!
peace and blessings,
Lauren
Dearest Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for you. I am thankful for your camaraderie and I just love sharing life with you. I'm so in awe of how God has synchronized this chapter of our lives. You are beautiful from your very core to your lovely face. We should bake lovely and whimsical deserts and eat them on china plates and drink tea and do other lovely things.
I love you so very much. Thank-you for being you.
Sincerely, Chelsie.
ps - I will never ever forget the pineapple upside down cake. =) Don't be too hard on yourself though, it probably just didn't like being upside down. ;)
