As Christmas approaches I am thinking more seriously about how to celebrate. When I was younger I didn't think much at all about the season of Advent but this year I want it to mean more. I want the faith aspect of Christmas to be more prominent than the gifts part. As I get older I feel like there's less that I want and need than I used to anyway. During this time I just want to remember Jesus, as he was, not my image of him, but as he really was. And hopefully it will carry over to next year and the next and so on.
Each semester of college is so different. When I think back over each semester that I've been here it's amazing how many things have happened and changed, and how many people I've met and unmet. Many people that I used to hang out with often I don't even say hi to anymore. It's so strange how things change so quickly. It makes me wonder what next semester will bring. Who will I meet? Who will we hang out with? What will it be like now that Marie is not returning? Some semesters have been awesome and some have been a nightmare. It makes me uneasy about what to expect.
"But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength..." Isaiah 40:31
That is my fave verse in the whole Bible!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about every semester being different. It's bizarre how different they all are.
girl, you're so right. I think about this kind of stuff all the time. It's so weird how different you become everyday! For me, i feel like something about me changes everyday, and i'm learning stuff about myself all the time. It's nice, but at the same time it's sad becuase so many people move in and out of your life so that you can go on becoming who you are.
