Finishing a stressful semester

Well, my sophomore fall semester is coming to a close. Definitely my most stressful yet which makes me ecstatic to be done with it. A month vacation is looming two weeks ahead and I cannot wait. Finals and projects, and presentations yet to come, but i can get through it and God is taking all stress from me. Most likely my last Blog till next semester so....
I'm keepin it short this time,

Life is fast

So i've realized recently that life goes really fast once you get older. I can't believe how fast college is going and this semester?! well it feels like we just started but only have 4 weeks left. I'm so excited though because this has been a very challenging semester for me...def the hardest. I do feel after this semester of tutoring a middle schooler and taking more ED classes, i feel way more prepared to start student teaching next semester.

So aside from school I get to go back to work Saturday after initiation and I am so excited. I miss it so much and not having a pay check stinks since it's almost impossible to find a job on or around campus. Funny thing is I would rather be at work than writing a paper or studying any day. I think a lot of people are like that but it just seems kind of funny. When i worked at Cedar Point it definitely wasn't that way, i'd rather be cramming for exams than dealing with the crap i had to there.
All well,
here's another random blog from me to you

Laughter and Love

Funny thing love and life is. God has the most amazing sense of humor and I thank him immensely for that because if he didn't life would be dull and emotionless. Laughter is so strong and can mean so many things. Your an idiot, your hilarious, your amazing, i'm so happy, i'm so sad, that was a great time!, that was embarrassing...like i said, so many things. God created laughter and it's only right that in church, the time spent for and with the creator wholly is full of laughter. When you sit in a church service, you should hear laughter from those around you so joyously filled with his presence they're like little children, carefree and ridiculously happy. What a great way to spend a Sunday morning. These are the Sunday's i've been looking forward to since attending my Aunt Glady's church. The drive might take almost 2 hours but that 4 hour round trip is worth every minute spent gas mile spent.
People responding with "i'm blessed" and "God is good" is so much better than hearing "i'm going through this" "pray for me about that". What kind of relationship are you leading with Christ??!
Sure i've been guilty of the same thing...Pity party over hear...just read my former blogs. That does not make me a hypocrite, no, just newly learned. Newly renewed and filled with a love i've been longing for my whole life. a love so unconditionally given, with sacrifice written on ever L.O.V. and E.
This love that overpowers you to tears of surrender, tears of your own sacrifice, tears of guilt, and gratefullness and of the love you hope to return even slightly to the degree He does.
This love i've spat in the face of, continually without so many words ignored and acted like i didn't need it.
EVERYONE NEEDS THIS LOVE... To throw this love back would be the worst mistake a person can make.
Surrender to this love.
The love that gave itself for each and every person on the planet.
This deep love relationship is what God wants with each of us.
He continually opens his arms wide to us even as we walk away.
He stands calling our names when we curse his beautiful one.
This love that brings us out of depression and confusion and poverty is there even as I type this, standing over smiling at me with all the love and devotion a husband shows his new Bride.
who could turn from this....sins will never make him not love you...don't ever let guilt hold you back from a love that can set you free.
He loves you.
Surrender to laughter
and surrender to True Love.
