MM.... Today is a good day. 
I haven't done much in school, but I will. haha
I have kinda been dippin' in and out of school work for the past few hours :)

Thankfully it is not that cold today.
A chinese girl told me a few days ago that it would not get warmer, just colder.
But I am pleased to say she was wrong hahaha. I mean if 32ºF is warm to you, then she was wrong.
It is so crazy to look at the weather and be like "wow today is 30º, that is WARM" hahaha
I love it.

Last night I ate some oil drenched fish in a can. Wasn't too bad, just really oily and I still doubt that there was any meat on that fish haha.

Oh and I got a Bible in the mail yesterday, which is exciting!
I haven't had one cause I lost it and never found it before we moved.
This new Bible has a reading plan where you read all the main passages of the Bible in a year.
I got up this morning ready to delve in! So I have officially finished my second day of reading. hehe
It is a great feeling when you get to the end of the designated reading, and you want more. You have this urge to keep going. I love it!
Though I have stopped myself from continuing, I am trying to stay on track! :)

Last night I also read another chapter in the Shack. AMAZING. 
It was all about living in expectancy and NOT expectation! 
Living in freedom, knowing that nothing you do can or will add or take away from who God is.
Learning that my relationship with Jesus is not based on rules and expectations, but rather love and that in love I will chose not to do things that would hurt our relationship.
I know that once I accept Jesus into my heart, its a done deal and I can't do anything to undo that relationship. 
I also know that while developing that relationship and growing in it, I will start to understand that there are certain things that I am ABLE to do, but they will not benefit the relationship! 
I am just loving learning about the freedom that I can live in. 
In that freedom I can then love others and love Jesus with all my heart.
I can live a life with no reservations. I live all out holding nothing back :)
Oh the Joys. I love finding new revelations, learning more about the character of God.
Though I still have so much more to learn and everyday is a struggle between what I want and what will benefit my relationship with Jesus, I am slowly growing.
One day it will get to the point where what I want is what will benefit our relationship.
Where every thought and action is directly influenced by the heart of God and my enjoyment in following the His Will.

WOW this post is all over the place. But man does it feel good to try to write down my thoughts.
It is not an easy task. My mind is always wondering!

Daniel comes in one week! WOO HOO :)
