Chapter Two
Chapter One
I am one of God's favorites. I know that's really presumptuous to say, but I know it's true so it's all good. I like to think that there are a few things that God made with me in mind. These things make up a very large list but to name a few: Hunter, the Harry Potter series, Bethel College, Lake Michigan, cottage cheese, and coffee. I realize that its really presumptuous to say that God made Lake Michigan specifically for me, but I really do think He had me in mind when He was making it. He knew how many memories would be made for me there. How many hours would be spent laying in the sun, snorkeling for buried treasure, paddle boarding, and being grateful for being alive. He knew how much fun I would have in the winter on the sand dunes that surround the lake. I am positive that God made coffee for me, knowing that I would love the taste and see that He is good (Psalm 34:8). He knew that I would drink it in my time with Him and it would help open my eyes to His glory and favor. I know that I didn't do anything to deserve being God's favorite, but He loves me so much all the same. I don't deserve all these things that He's made just for me, but I'm so thankful that He made them for me anyways.
Preface: Currently
Loving... my Piano Pedagogy class. It's just so amazing to be in a class where I'm learning information that I can actually use in my career. I've completely loved all of my music classes, but so many of them are theoretical. Piano Pedagogy is so practical and I'm psyched to learn more about teaching kids the beauty of piano!
Reading... I've been working through
Orange is the New Black. I watched the series on Netflix and decided I really needed to read the book. I'm hoping to finish soon so I can get into Tina Fey's Bossypants!
Watching... Mostly Gilmore Girls. I'm so pumped that Netflix put it up! On top of Gilmore Girls, I've also been watching the occasional episode of Psych with Hunter. It's really fun and makes us feel more connected to be able to watch something "together".
Thinking about... My upcoming Junior Recital. It feels like it's getting so close! There's so much work to be put into it, and I can't help feeling like I'm never going to have the time.
Anticipating... Spring Break. Even though the semester has just begun I already miss Hunter so much. My semester (as always) is a full load with seventeen credits, and I'm already looking forward to just relaxing and cuddling with Hunter.
Listening to... The Rend Collective Experiment is basically my new favorite thing to listen to. I love their renditions on old hymns, especially You Are My Vision. Their entire concept is just so inspiring and I love listening to their songs on repeat.
Working on... Perfecting a headstand. Since the beginning of the semester I've been pretty serious about doing post-run yoga, but lately I've been trying my hand at the more serious stuff. I can get myself up into a headstand, but I'm a little too wobbly for my liking.
Wishing... I could understand God's big plan for my life right now. I know half of the fun is not knowing and waiting to see everything that God's doing firsthand, but sometimes I'd love if He could let me in on His secrets!
