transition

this week is the week i begin school.

the summer is officially over, but for some reason i don’t really mind. i’m quite interested in seeing how my classes will be this quarter and sincerely hoping i haven’t overloaded too badly. 5 classes isn’t too much, right? the way i see it is that i should load up now before i get burnt out, then i won’t be regretting it later.

i got a livescan today and the man to did it told me he’s never had such a hard time getting fingerprints off anyone in the 5 years he’s been doing them. wow. tragic. he also told me that my fingerprints looked like those of a 50 year old. again, tragic.

on a lighter note, the women’s retreat was absolutely fabulous and i was SO blessed. the Lord really revealed truth to women’s hearts and my favorite part of it was being able to pour into my sisters in Christ and taking my eyes off myself (for the most part) for the weekend. i mean, honestly, you can’t be 100% selfless on these retreats simply because God is usually uncovering some junk in your own heart that you need to deal with, but spending time with women i hardly see was just amazing. life gets in the way sometimes and i’m blessed the Lord gave me the money and opportunity to go this year.

to end, since i know that personally, i never have too much of an attention span for reading online, i’ll leave you with a verse and a photo.

"And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us." 1 John 3:23-24
