  •           The first week of school has officially ended. It is great to be back in Waco, surrounded by all my wonderful friends. The Lord has blessed this year so much. I absolutely LOVE my roommates. Each girl that I live with is amazing. What the Lord does for his children utterly astonishes me. He has provided such strength, beauty, grace, and compassion in this new forming bond between all of us. I admire so many characteristics in each roommate. They are truly uniquely gorgeous inside and out. I think it is so beautiful how the Lord has fashioned his children so differently from one another. Such strength comes from a design so perfect. Each morning in this apartment has been a refreshing experience. Genuine love fills the air of this house. I awake in sheer joy. Smiles linger in the halls and frame each room in this house. I thank you Lord for placing us all together. What a brilliant Maker you are…when I lack in insight, you give generously and bless beyond comprehension. I cannot thank you enough. I love how in the midst of what seems like a life or death situation at the time—you turn it around. You make all things new. You encompass your children in a whirlwind of provision. We do not deserve such tender care…


     


    But as for me, I will always have HOPE; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation ALL day long, though I know not its measure. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. Since my youth O God you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.


    ---Psalm 71: 14-18
