I woke up 30 minutes later then I had originally planned to go to church. But I was still able to get ready and be at church on time for the young adults class. I have really been enjoying this class. We are going through Romans verse by verse, in an intense study. I love it! Later, in "Big Church" I was asked to go to lunch at a friends house. I had such a great time! Their family was great! It felt like home! And they sent me back to the dorms with food. It doesn't get much better then that right??? Especially for a college kid.
After I left their house, I came back to the dorm and realized that I had locked my keys in my room! Story of my life! So instead of taking a nap, I went with a friend to the beach. We laid out, relaxed, and enjoyed the good ol' Vitamin D. After we left the lake, we went to get ice cream at the college creamery. Delish! (I strongly recommend the Raspberry Mango sorbet). My roommate came and unlocked the door for me, and I went to dinner . I called my mom on the way back from lunch and we talked for a good hour. I love talking to my mom! Shes the greatest! After that, another friend and I hung out in the dorms until 9pm when we had a fantastic bible study with some of the international students on campus. It is so great to see all different nations and tribes and languages come together to worship the same God. Unbelievable!
After the bible study, the same friend and I talked in her dorm room until after midnight when I was half asleep so I left and went to bed.
It was a great day full of Amazing blessings. Just reflecting on the things that happened yesterday make me more humbled before my God. He is the one who gave me all these things. Things that aren't necessarily important, but he offered anyway.
And beyond all the "things" that I am thankful for, I am even more thankful to have a God who would leave his throne, put on some flesh, and enter this earth as a humble child born in a manger. And that this child would grow up sinless and still, even after seeing the stupid decisions humans make, He would STILL carry the burden of not only just my sins, but the sins of all the people, everywhere, no matter who they are or what they have done. It is such a humbling reality. He was the ultimate example of Love because he IS Love. It is so much to comprehend, but when I realize how blessed I am in just having a great day, I realize how blessed I am that everyday is a great day because I have a savior who was beat when I should have been, carried the cross when I should have, and became the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of this earth.
Just some thoughts of the morning. :) I plan on having another great day today! Last day off for the rest of the week! I'm going to enjoy every moment of it!
