So I had this big blog typed up, but I just wasn't really feeling it. Instead, let me tell you about my evening. Becca came in town this afternoon. It's always so good to see her.. it feels just like old times. So once she got in town, we grabbed some dinner, shopped around the mall some, and of course got froyo. Then afterword morgan told us she had a surprise for us and she drove us out to the zoo. And behind the zoo there is the most beautiful pond..
(That's not edited at all! How beautiful!)
We just sat here for a few minutes and soaked up God's awesome presence. It was just what I needed. This week, scratch that, this whole semester has been stressful. Lots of projects, lots of papers, and lots of teachers getting laid on in Texas right now (so why am I even bothering to become one?). All of that equates to one stressed-out little courtney!
And right behind that pond is a playground! So we spent an hour tonight just swinging. It was so peaceful. The cool thing about Abilene is you can actually see the stars, so getting to spend some time just chilling out and admiring God's beauty.
At the play ground there were these two little girls playing together. They weren't friends before hand because one of them just walked up to the other and said "what's your name? want to play?" ...I miss that! I think that's why I'm so drawn to being around kids. They have such an innocent view of everything.. It reminds me of the verse Matthew 18:3..
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
That's about it for this week. This next week I have quite a bit to think about.. so prayers would be appreciated it! But I think spending some time with God out at the pond is just what I need to get through it.
xoxo
