"Home"


Praises for the weekend:
   My WICKED migrane from Friday night went away with the wonderful drug: 
                  Excedrin. 
  Great convo with a girl who's mom is a counselor. 
     [got the inside scoop]
  FINALLY bought shoes!!
  And... 
      I found myself keep thinking:
   These are my friends. We are really friends. 
    I haven't always felt like this about the people I had here in California. 
    Yet I am so blessed by these AMAZING women of God who stepped into
    my life. God knew what he was doing to pair us all together. They are so 
    full of life, joy, youth, and together we have such community. I pray we 
    continue to challenge and encourage one another this semester. It's just 
    amazing to have girls here that I truly respect and trust they like me too. 
For all these things, I am blessed
