And Now It Begins




My thankfulness for a less-than-crazy semester will be put into a new perspective as I face the next month. My planner's November already contains many more pencil markings than the previous months, showing papers, performances, presentations (no, I'm not going for alliteration), and deadlines. But I had a great weekend to enjoy with my mom and Grace before the focused time begins.


We had some friend time with the Imbody girls at their beautiful mountain home on Saturday, then were able to have some family time as well. Family is such a blessing, especially one that encourages and challenges each other toward Christ-likeness.
The Lord's return is imminent. But do I live like it? I want to long for Christ's return, whether I am in the midst of suffering, or in the midst of abundance. I am not here for myself.
