GOD and 80's Rock

Amazing, hilarious, and illuminating all at the same time how GOD can speak through 80's rock...bare with me as I explain me somewhat shameful reference. Haha Due to one of my favorite pieces on a previous season of So You Think You Can Dance and a recent episode of Glee, I've been rocking out to Heart's song "Alone" alot lately. I love it, and it's just so passionate and fun.

Well, I was really listening to the words today and I was like "Man, this is alot like what I want to say to GOD." So I began to let HIM know,

"Til now, I always got by on my own.

I never really cared until I met YOU,

and now it chills me to the bone."

And then HE threw in HIS 2 cents, as if to say if we're going to be this passionate,

"How do I get you alone?"

So I, of course, stopped in my tracks after being called out in my fun 80's rock song to realize I have NOT been spending enough time alone with my LOVER, not just talking to people about HIM. But the cool thing is HE knows me so well that HE knew exactly where to find me!

GRADUATION!

I am officially a COLLEGE GRADUATE!!! Man, that feels good to have a piece of paper that says I should know alot about something. Haha. But really, it feels weird and cool at the same time to have another chapter of my life done and moving on what GOD has in store next!

there's a light at the end of this tunnel

Well it's here. I'm officially done with all of my college obligations and graduation is a mere 5 days away! I can't wait!! A huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders, that's for sure. Now, I'm left with 5 months before moving to Mobile to breathe, work, and spend time with the LOVER I've been neglecting.

It's amazing how alone you can feel when you fill your time up and leave none for what HE's doing. I'm so excited that HE's called me from that. Thanks to Jenna, I bought a new book today called Angry Conversations with GOD by Susan Isaacs which I'm very excited to start reading. It came highly recommended. Also, GOD has since called me to head to Oregon in March to work with a church plant there for a week which is SUPER exciting!! HE is so good to me and I don't deserve a bit of it.

And I got a little surprise visit from two of my favorite people, Laurel and Jenny, and another of their friends Kristin who I love, as well as 2 that I met that day. They were on their way back home and coming through town and stopped by the coffee shop where I was studying. I miss them being here, but love love love the joy and peace they bring when they are here. It was a treat!
