A cause de garcons

Tonight, I actually had a night to just be. I dropped one of my classes last week taking my units down from 19 to 16. What was I thinking before!?
I love my floor. Tonight a random dance party broke out in the hallway, it lasted for about an hour. From dancing to talking to music I just chilled the night away. It was wonderful.
I love how God created each of us so differently, yet each of us still resemble some characteristic of God. It's so mind blowing to think God has so many characteristics! I can't even keep mine straight!

As a side note, I'm having Portland withdrawls. It's things like Last Thursdays, the Portland Pirate Festival (that I missed! gah!), Rimsky's, Midnight Mystery Rides, Pillow Fights, Saturday Market, Running into Naked Bike Rides, Lunch carts on 3rd, Music from Mississippi Pizza, Hawthorne, Belmont, Powells, 23rd, tea chai te, fire dance sessions under the hawthorne bridge and walking along the waterfront that make the world go round. The list could go on.

Tie Dye and Moccasins

As you may have noticed, I have deleted all previous posts except "Noisy Eaters Deserve A Punch in the Face." I believe it is still relevant in my life just as much now as it was the day I wrote it.

It was interesting reading previous posts and seeing where I was compared to where God has me right now. This past year has been crazy at times. God has done and worked so much in my life. Remembering back on Morocco (not that I don't think about it every day) and realizing how cool it is that I still keep in contact with people I met on that trip. This last year has been such a roller coaster with my relationship with God, and really with myself as well. Trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, what God has in store for me, and all those little descisions that I made. It's amazing how God had His hand in the smallest stuff without me even realizing it.

I am more in love with God right now than I ever have been. It seems like forever that I was praying to hear His voice and to get out of this state of "numness" that I feel I have been in, and it's finally happened. God keeps speaking and revealing His plans for me. It is so amazing and refreshing. He has brought so many genuine people in my life who have helped me become so real and raw with myself and in my relationship with God. I'm so thankful for where God has me right now, in this RA position, learning and growing and being surrounded by a group of girls going through the same thing. For once, I feel like I know my destination, and I'm trusting God that He will take me there.
