Good Morning

Well.. I woke up sort of early this morning..Ohh maybe around 6:08 ish, somewhere around there. But, I got up and I went outside with my bible and journal in hand..Sat in the swing chair ..and it was a slight bit chilly out so I brought a blanket..I sort of had a date with the Lord..Anyhow, it was so beautiful. I watched the sunrise through the trees..sigh.. It was so beautiful.. But I read, I spent some time with the Lord and I went back and read Genesis 45-47..Just re-reading about Joseph.. Pretty good stuff. After I was finished reading, I couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful it was outside..So I just sat in the chair for a while and decided I would get my camera and take some pictures.. I really enjoyed it and I got to spend some more time with the Lord while doing so.. It's like I missed him and haven't talked with him in a while..Like visiting with a friend that I hadn't seen in a while.....While surely that wasn't the case.. But it made me see how much I need him, and need to want him more. =) My heart is filled with a peace.. I thank my Lord for such times as these..I need to be with him more throughout my day.. So...as for my random thoughts and feelings... just know that it was a good morning..

Looking Back

I took the time to go back and read other posts that I made. It's funny, because I enjoyed reading them. But I wrote them?? Ha,well...They made me think. I miss that girl, ya know. I miss living in Grandview with Amy, Rachel, Nikki, and Cara..Those were fun times. Sometimes when I go to coffee shops around town it reminds me of Caribou Coffee..and the countless hours I used to spend there reading, studying, or writing..It brings a smile to my face thinking about the memories I have of that place. I guess it is sort of a growing up thing..You look back on things that you enjoyed soo much and wonder where the time went..I can remember the smell of our old apartment=) And the noise of the streets while walking around the neighborhood. I don't think I laughed as hard my entire life, than when I lived there. Amy and I used to laugh and laugh and laugh, mostly about nothing but even laughing at nothing seemed to be funny.
Maya, was our off and on pet dog that Nikki would bring home from her parents house. Nikki was fun..She always watched really cool movies and would wear really cute stuff..She was hilarious too, I do remember laughing quite a bit with her. Rachel was funny because she never came out of her room.. She studied a lot but when she came out there was always something interesting going on in her life or in her studies..Cara was fun too.. I enjoyed some of our conversations on the floor near the kitchen and in the kitchen, and talking about family, school, and guys of course..One time we chatted online and we were sitting right next to each other on the couch..Haha..Those were some fun times..God blessed me with some of the best roomates..And now all except on has gotten married=) But its a time I don't think I'll ever forget..
