I’m really liking living here at the Balcones apartments so far. I’m so close to many of my friends, and class is literally like 5 minutes away, running. Plus, I have a new palm tree, and I can live with Rand, my bro yo!

We had our orientation with fellow GA-ers today, and it just got me really excited for my last year here at Texas State, but it was also insanely eye-opening. I really need to dig in and purposefully set alone time aside with the Lord right now. I can really tell He wants to do a lot this year through me, and I have to “set my sails,” if you will, to understand what He wants me to be doing. He’s been revealing His faithfulness over and over again in the past week, and I just can’t explain how awesome it is.

  1. lost my wallet, prayed, got a call about it the next day that a guy found it in the bottom of the river
  2. car broke down in the middle of I-35, stuck at the Snake Farm, mom had to catch a 5:00 flight back home. Finally got a taxi at 4:15, picked up the girls, and miraculously made the flight, P.T.L.
  3. prayed about the car, turned out to only be a small problem

Lately I know He’s been trying to get my attention because I’ve come to the realization that I don’t deserve any of this. I deserve to be without a wallet, stranded in the middle of the road, no car, homeless, helpless, and not even that. Humans are guilty; we are sinners; we are poor. Because of sin, all of humanity deserves death…we are all imperfect, and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it. Yet God counts me worthy to be in His presence. I feel like a homeless bum who has been asked to sit at the head of the table at the White House…if that’s even an honor these days? I think you get the picture.
