I've been drawn to reading Pslam 19 lately, and the more I read it the more I fall in love with who our Father and Lord and Savior is. I keep reading beyond what I posted and Father hits my heart even more. He knows the hidden person of my heart, and he knows my hidden faults, and yet forgives me, still. Simple concepts we all know... but seriously, how GREAT is our God?

I have no doubt that i am in the right place. I am so in love with the city I am in, and even though I'm not living the typical university student life here but I am experiencing life here, one that has encouraged me, and that I have learned from Father through. I am in love with the students I know at school, and I am also learning so much through the families and situations and hurts and aches and joys I have met through many of the local people here.

Today, I was filled with a joy, that only Father can give, and I'm thankful. I'm hopeful for the future. Lately I have been aching, because I long to be with a dear close friend of mine, Sara. Mainly so I can hug her neck, and laugh and encourage and be encouraged by her. The longing of wanting to be near her, has made me feel weak this week, but has also made me more prayerful.
Thank you guys for everything. <3
