After classes, we took some towels, puppy chow, and just went and sat outside to soak in today. After that, we all went to this coffee shop called Java Cat, and it is the CUTEST coffee shop ever! & I actually took pictures with my camera...what?! We drank coffee, did homework, and just hung out. I love these kind of days, simply beautiful.
Also, I finished my devotion today. It has been the most impactful devotion I've ever had and I recommend it to any woman. Everyday something spoke to me or related to my day or week. I found this devotion by going to Book-A-Holic, on winter break, when I was in a very lonely and desperate place for God's strength and word after a hard break-up. The book caught my eye and has given me more wisdom than I thought it would. God is good. This isn't me bragging about how much I've grown, because I have SOOO much growing to do, but is me telling you how God works in mysterious ways. It is called Becoming a Woman of Extraordinary Faith: What If You Gave It All to God by Julie Clinton. I have learned so much about myself and God through this book, go get it.
On the last page here is a quote that stuck out to me:
"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you." -Thomas Merton
Life is messy and hard. Sometimes I feel like what I am doing is not beneficial for God's kingdom and sometimes I feel like I am really not even doing anything or just slacking. But the desire of my heart is to be God's light, and he doesn't expect me to be perfect and the fact is that since my heart is always going to be His and what I can do to better His kingdom... That is pleasing to Him and that is enough.
Well that was a tangent... but was one worth telling about.
Thanks for reading!
Love, Reggs.
