Well, I have two more finals to go until I'm officially done with this semester. One is tomorrow morning at 9:45, the second is a paper that I need to submit online by Saturday. So...I'm saving that for when I'm home. But anyways, the school year is coming to a close...and so is the calendar year! I can't believe I'm 20 years old, almost done with college, and trying to figure out what on earth I'm doing next year. It's scary, but exciting.
Plus, I'm dating this really awesome/amazing/fantastic/spectacular guy. He treats me like a princess and never fails to take care of me. I am daily amazed at how God uses him in my life to show His love and provision, to convict me of something I really need to change, or to simply encourage me and show me the blessings He has for me in this earthly portion of life. Steve has been an amazing leader in our relationship, but never too domineering. He always makes sure I have sufficient space to make my own decisions and contribute to the relationship, but I know he's always behind me to pick me up when I fall down. It's a near-perfect balance, and I sure do like it. Of course we're not perfect...that's why we're also learning how to work through conflict together. But as far as I can tell...I am totally happy with him. Thanking God for this blessing is a daily thing for me.
I'm heading home tomorrow...yay! I am not looking forward to the long car ride (as usual) but I do have a passenger, so it shouldn't be too bad. Please pray for clear roads, alertness for me as I drive, and quick traveling back to Michigan. I'll be home for exactly two weeks - then on the 30th I'll head down to Steve's parents' house. The 31st his mom will drive us to Philly, where we will take a flight down to Florida and stay for a week with a married couple we are good friends with and who used to go to our church here in PA. It's going to be an awesome break - much needed before I tackle my last semester of college. 20 credits of classes, 32 hours of work per week, and $800 school payments per month. It will definitely be interesting to see how God provides...but at least I know that He will, one way or another. He's just amazing like that.
Well...that's all for tonight. Maybe over break I'll be motivated to post more often, and more thought-provoking writings...I've had a lot on my mind recently, but haven't had the time or energy to really dig in to it and express myself. We'll see what happens. If I don't write again before then, have a great CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year!
