Spring!

Right now I'm listening to the song called "Mighty to Save" by Hillsongs, it is so good! Lately I have been listening to Hillsongs all the time and playing them on piano also, I like to play piano during my study breaks! Anyway, it is so beautiful outside...I love walking to school in the sun, although I have yet to see a chipmunk, hopefully soon!

One thing I have been learning is how faithful and gracious God is, so merciful, I'm so glad that He does not treat us as we deserve, but that he extends grace to us and offers us love and salvation. Why do I ever worry? This year I started to do that about a month ago, because I was thinking of all my exams coming up and things with getting married, where we were going to live, was I going to get a good-paying job in summer to make enough money for school...so many things. And then I started reading in Phillipians again, chapter 4:6 says:

"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything.

Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.

His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

So since a month ago, so many things have happened...I found out I got a better mark on my exam than I thought I was going to get, and I found out that I got a job at 3M again this summer, working with my sister Amanda, whom I love so much! We had so much fun last summer working together for two months after I got home from Africa...when we worked till 1am we would stay up and eat brownies and ice cream and just talk, such a blast...and this summer we get to do it all over again, and hopefully we'll be on the same rotation so we can always drive together!

And then I was trying to figure out where Marvin and I would live after we get married in August, and then one of my friends emailed me and said they were leaving for a year and we could possibly rent their apartmen while they are gone, so we're going to look at it today! I'm so excited, God is so good, why do I ever worry? Even Matthew 6:31-33 says:

"So don't worry about these things, saying,

'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?'

These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.

Seek the Kingdom of God avobe all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."

God has proven Himself to me over and over again, if I seek first His kingdom he will give me everything that I need, for he already knows what I need...thank you Jesus! Oh yeah, and today my younger brother and I hung out and went out for lunch and made macademia nut cookies (such yummy dough) and played Super Mario on my laptop, definitely have not played that game in a long time, but I think I have improved since the last time, since now I last longer than 10 seconds! Good times!
