As my title suggests, I've probably been one of the flakiest blog-posters ever, if that's possible. I mean, I guess it's my blog and I can post when I want, but I still feel like I did something wrong, not posting for the past few months...
Anyway, I wanted to give an update. I've discovered that blogging really helps me clear my mind. Often, I don't post much of what I write...I'll spit my thoughts on paper (er, computer screen?) and then only post what I feel is remotely logical or worth sharing. Hopefully that makes sense. I'm scatterbrained...and I like flowers and collect shoes. Converse are probably my favorite brand.
Okay, so by God's grace I survived Winter Quarter at college, and even passed with very satisfying results. Only by His grace, though, seriously.
I learned a lot during the quarter about standing up for what I believe in and not fearing man. I have been so sheltered all my life, and never (really) realized how difficult it can be to define the line of standing up for what you believe in and still getting a good grade. Grades are not a priority; obeying Christ is.
Possible highlight of last quarter was, aside from learning the important lesson about not fearing man, my English professor telling me I should become a teacher or a writer...It was kind of weird, but I was encouraged.
Spring break has been super busy, with work and family events. A few weekends ago, my best friend and I went to visit my grandparents who live at the beach. We had a grand time. Here are some pictures from our trip. :)
Upon arriving at the beach, HB (from henceforth, her name shall be Peachy...unless I change it) and I took a few minutes to explore the freezing, windy, and wet beach before heading to my grandparents' warm house...It was a grand time, I do confess.
Our inner (outer?) little girlness was very excited to watch the new Cinderella movie. And, I might add, we were not disappointed when we left the theater
That gigantic boat peeking in on the right is the Coast Guard....Pretty cool.
We were determined to have some sort of fish since we were at the beach. Think we got enough?
We spent almost the entire Saturday in a town 45 minutes away, exploring historic buildings, shop-walking, and drinking coffee. This is the sunset we enjoyed watching while partaking of ice cream and doughnuts at the end of the day.
Starbucks for the (long) drive home!
And so, with Spring Break coming to a conclusion, I want to wish you a very blessed Resurrection Sunday! He is risen! So thankful for the salvation we have by grace because of what Christ did on the cross. Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Luke 24:1-7, "But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, 'Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.'"
Hold fast to Jesus!
