[SunSet Days]today was a sunset day for me. it was gorgeous outside, too bad i had to be stuck inside taking midterms all day =[ all i honestly wanted to do was sit outside all day and look up at the blue sky. after the stressful week that is exactly what i needed... i cant wait for fall break to come to my rescue...
at the beginning of the week i was dreading all the work i had ahead of me and was ready for the week to be over with before monday was even a thought. stevie gave me the verse james 1:2-4, which was just what i needed at the time. with that in mind, this is what i just dont understand. why do we always think "poor me" when hard things come our way? i know it is human nature, but i feel like we want our lives to be so simple and perfect. [wouldnt that be nice, right?] i mean seriously think about it for a minute. -- would you ever learn anything? would you ever need to strive for something more? God is there for us to need him, if we were perfect we would never need his amazing grace. hmmm...i have been on this topic of God's grace lately and the idea of how powerful his grace truly is. its so much bigger than we perceive it to be...

ewww i made the post :)
trials: I have been wrestling with this for a while now...how can God be sovereign but still allow us to go through bad things. Well i have come to the conclusion that with out these trials our sanctification process would never happen. So Lauren i encourage you to pick apart this trail and get as much out of it as possible. The Lord has you going through this for some reason (his sovereignty), find out what it is. Then tell me :) hahaha
yes ma am! you made my post...you should feel oh so special! haha im excited to start reading your posts and commenting on them! and you know you will always hear about my trials...even if sometimes you have to force them out of me haha (im getting better)
