Reflections of the heart

FUNKY FRIDAY ♥

I'm extremely happy with my beach cruiser. I rode around town today and just enjoyed the air hitting my face and the beautiful CITY that me and my family are so BLESSED to live in.

Getting into the word on work morning and school mornings is proving to be a bit difficult. I am proving to be a bit difficult actually. Lol. I'm a lazy college student and even though I love JESUS with all my heart I'd much rather sleep in with JUST enough time to get dressed and head to work. WHERE IS THE TIME FOR MY KING THOUGH? I suppose waking up earlier and going to bed MUCH earlier would help with this issue. I just prefer to start my day with him rather than FINISH my day with him. WHEN DO YOU ENJOY YOUR PERSONAL STUDY TIME WITH CHRIST??
My campus was dead today when I rode up on my bike. Then after my math class was finished I realized wow, it's FRIDAY. That is why there aren't many people here today! I'm pretty BRIGHT huh?

I have 1/2 a ton of English to do this weekend and only a backpack full of math and then there is the lovely ANTHROPOLOGY class reading that I have, no intention of believing, to read this weekend as well. I've already began both the English and Anthropology work so don't pity me. Your girl is one step ahead of the game ;). lol just wanted to let y'all know what I am up to SCHOLASTICALLY and btw MY ENGLISH CLASS is going to really help me become and AMAZING writer and I'm blessed to have such a passionate teacher. I am very excited about her :).

Today I have a few plans. I only had one plan but since ____ called and said he'd like to hang out for a bit I decided after hearing his voice and FEELING nothing at all (so strange isn't it?) that it would be okay given we didn't hang out at my house and that it be quick. I feel like GOD has really kneaded me and gotten all those painful bumps of attachment and pride, in regards to _____, out of me. I really am starting to feel HEALED. Maybe even ready to accept dating. Less than a month ago the thought of a NEW relationship left me feeling hopeless but I truly feel GOD is preparing my heart for something AMAZING and that will GLORIFY HIM! Thank you for hearing and answering my prayers LORD. You know just how much pain I was in not too long ago. Thank you for giving me the strength and the faith to WAIT ON YOUR HEALING and to receive the wisdom you were giving me :). You are so amazinG!!!

I'm also getting pastries and coffee with my two new christ-loving girlfriends around 330. GOD BLESS THEM and their fellowship. I have been in continuous prayer for an abundance of christian girlfriends and GOD continues to plant them as he pleases. It's so nice to talk about how god is working in the lives of myself and others and also to speak about my walk with GOD and have people around who understand and accept and believe his truth. It's like being with FAMILY, you know?

I did a photo walk around the lake with a good friend!! Tell me what you think.
p.s it was soooo fun taking pics all day. I think I fell in love with the art of photography!
