Day Ten
10th October 2013 bahaha this picture makes me happy! It's just so random and slightly awkward (: This is probably the only interaction I will have with anything having to do with Homecoming week this year: our mascot, the Blugold. Taken in Davies Student Center where we all spend time between classes. haha I love these people. Hi friends!
I think it's about that time you all meet Ariel. She is soo special to me. She is one of the most gentle and kind-hearted people I've ever met, and she's always smiling at me! A couple weeks ago, when I was going to paint in front of Intervarsity's large group and I was scared like the dickens, a group of us were praying over the night and the whole time Ariel held my hand. That just meant so much to me! I felt peace instantly. That's the kind of person she is... full of love and full of light! I learn so much from her about how to love and how to know God. I thank God, often, for this bright light. What an honor it is to be her friend. Day Nine
9th October 2013 During the time I had between classes today, I sat outside of the Newman Center (or Ecumenical Religious Center, as I think it's called, too) on campus to soak up the sweet air and bask in the love of the sunshine, and the way it shined on everything today and made it lovely. Plus, I sat on a ton of bright orange leaves and that made me happy, too. That time filled my heart so much. And while I was walking over there, I thought, "I think out of anyone, I just really want to share this time out here with Coral." Then a bit later, in the midst of my reading, Coral came over to me because she saw me after one of her classes and she sat with me! Wow. That time was just so sweet and, yep, I saw beauty there. Plus, every once in awhile, bikers would ride by and I loved it. Day Eight
8th October 2013 I was sneaky today and took this candid during a weekly meeting where leaders from Towers meet together to pray and talk. I wanted this picture to not be posed, because I like not posed things. And these are just some of the individuals that are a part of this group, but gosh, I'm thankful for them. And this was a hard meeting today, because another member of our community had a tragedy happen in her family this past weekend, which was heavy for our hearts. But my favorite thing about this group is that we can handle things that are sad and heavy, and bring them before our Father on behalf of our sister. You have no idea how beautiful this is to me. The gratitude I feel to God for each one of these people goes beyond what I am able to express. Day Seven 7th October 2013 This picture was taken on the path on my way back to my room from class. I walk these steps every day, but these days I love how God is showing me so much beauty in ordinary places, like this one. This sun shining through the trees gets to my heart. It's like a love language to me. I am thanking God for loving me this way today. This picture also reminds me of a song that I have just been eating up every day lately, so I wanted to share that with you, too. This song makes me feel like an intentionally created and significant being and I love it. (I already knew that I am, this song just makes me feel it)
Day Five 5th October 2013 Today, today was a day of deep contentedness and beauty and love. I felt rest today. Five friends ventured to the cities with one goal in mind: to see baby giraffes at Como Zoo, obviously. But how much beauty one day can hold with friends who love adventure and love each other. Plants and monkeys and tarantulas and dinosaur chicken nuggets and Ryan's birthday and good coffee from my favorite coffee shop and talks of creativity and singing songs together and just contentment within the presence of one another. I carry within me a deep, deep thankfulness to God for these's people's existence. Thanking him for the love they carry. A few more pictures from today. And Isaac's take on the day's events that makes me happy! (: ^^^I am so grateful I saw Anna encounter these giraffes. What joy that brought her. Seriously, that was a special moment.^^^
Day Four
4th October 2013 I think this picture is my favorite one of the day. Today, my best friend turned twenty-one! So we took her on a scavenger hunt and to dinner and helped her pick out a fish (: What can I say about this beautiful person other than I know I wouldn't be the same without her. Truly, it was an honor to set aside a day to thank Jesus for her and celebrate who she is. Plus, I really like how Amy is in this picture, too (: Oh, such beautiful people. Such beautiful living. Day Three
3rd October 2013 This picture was taken behind Putnam Hall on lower campus at my university, Eau Claire. I wanted to take a picture of this red tree yesterday because it literally stopped me in my tracks on my way back to my room, but I refrained because there was a lady playing fetch with her dog right in front of it and I'm pretty darn sure she would have been weirded out by that. But I couldn't even believe this tree existed, it is so beautiful! My favorite tree yet this Fall. Did I ever tell you trees are a love language to me? Well they are. Plus it was rainy today so that somehow adds something beautiful to this that I can't quite put my finger on. That's all. Sweet dreams, friend. |
