Daughter of the King

I’m thankful for the guy who invented sticky-notes. Who would have thought that simply putting a small strip of stick on the back of a square piece of paper would be such a helpful idea?

I miss living things, mostly people, but also plants. I can't wait to go home!

Packing up to go home after a nine months of college-life is a bittersweet experience. I’m thankful that I’m only a freshman, and I have at least two more years to look forward to.
You know where your heart is by what you leave out until the last minute: coffee, pillow/bedding, clothes for tomorrow, computer/school, thank you notes, water pitcher, and my Bible.

This summer is going to be really awesome, but really hard. The problem with loving people is that then you miss them. Last year at this time, I didn’t know these girls, so I didn’t need to miss them. Now, I am going to go through some sad times of withdrawal. Thankfully, someone invented the cell phone, and we’ll keep in touch.

God loves to do things differently than we would do them. Today, in the sermon I realized that the most intimate account of the passion of the Christ is written in first person, and it’s found in the Old Testament (Psalm 22). What a God?!

Mother’s are the best! I can’t wait to be one. =)

I’m really looking forward to the car ride tomorrow. I love long trips, and I love being the passenger. My sibs and I are going to have quite the time!

Anticipation is half the fun. The longer you wait for something, the more excitement builds up, and it’s just a better experience. God was so creative when He made the human heart.
Thunderstorms are intense; I like them.

Memory is an interesting thing. We learned in Ed Psych that episodic memory is the strongest. It’s been said that I have a good memory, and I do for some things. When I love someone, I remember them. I remember what they say, and how they were. I remember everything. The same is true about theology. I remember what I learn about God because I love Him. I’ve said several times this year, that if I could study what I wanted to study, it would be Bible. I love reading about Him and talking about Him. I love knowing Him and getting to know Him. I remember these things. When it comes to Spanish vocabulary I remember the words that I value or I associate with my life, siempre means always. I learned this week that girls register/remember emotion with the same part of their brains that they process information/facts and do their reasoning. Basically, that helps me understand why, if I associate a strong emotion with information, then I’m going to remember it better. I recall the emotion and with it come details I have matched with it. Boys register and process emotion in a completely different part of the brain which is why it is harder for them to analyze their emotions and then express them. *sigh*

I should go. Thanks for listening to my random thoughts. I will probably be able to see you soon, which makes me so happy!

Oh, one more thing. I really love it when there is Scripture written out on things. Right now both my shirt and my mug have verses written on them: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

I was reminded today that basically we need to speak Scripture to people all the time because that is how we are going to win them. Christian and non-Christians alike need to be “bathed” in Scripture, day in and day out, so let’s work on mediating on the Word so that it is ever on our lips.
