spending time with my best friend is the best. I wish she didn't have to work so much while she was here... but that's also what brought her here, so i am thankful. she leaves tomorrow :((
Reading "Knowing God" by J.I. Packer the past few weeks has honestly been one of the most uplifting, humbling, eye-opening, amazing experience. and I'm only on Chapter 5 (out of 22). It's just insane.
I want to get re-baptized for sure within the next few months - i was as a baby (grew up in the Catholic church) but i don't really believe that it counts, not in the way that i want to dedicate the rest of my life to Christ, live each day by His Word. I want to declare to the world, to my friends, to my family, to the church and to God that JESUS IS MY EVERYTHING. And I'd love to have that done once i move to LA in May @ Grace Community Church. I was kind of wrestling over whether to get it done at my church here or there, and i would like to get it done as soon as possible - but I'd also love to share this celebration with people I'm really close to along with in a Church that is going to hold me accountable and where i plan on residing as soon as i move. When Angel brought me to Grace over winter break it was just a perfect fit... i instantly felt so welcomed and in my heart i knew it was a church and a community that i would like to be a part of.
I miss my family like crazy .. especially my Dad. It's going to be very hard once I'm in Los Angeles to be farther away from them, Thank the Lord for technology - ie. Video chat. i don't know how I'd get by without it. March is going to be a wonderful month i get to see Angel and my family over spring break + Mine & Angel's birthdays :)
k more later.
LOVE.
