April Fool's Eve

Another month has come and gone, unbelievably fast too. I think a theory I have is becoming very true--the older you get, the faster the time flies. Granted, I'm only 20, but still I can't even tell you where my college career has gone. I'm gonna be a senior next year and woah, is the only word left to describe THAT impending feeling.

By the way, next year is gonna be crazy, and by crazy I mean, busy, busy, busy. I'm okay with that however, because I'm good with busy. When I'm busy it forces me to be very organized and efficient, which sometimes falls to the wayside when I am not busy and have very little to schedule and optimize. I think I'm setting myself up for a resume-building, but mind-boggling busy schedule. I will be taking 17 each semester next year...PLUS, an internship, plus, I have applied to be an RA (I find out on April 9th if I get the gig or not) AND I have applied for three Graphic Design jobs on campus for next year, which will be great to have for experience, but I am going to need to pick through what would be best to take...God's gonna help me sort through that one with lots and lots of prayer. Man do I need Him, and man do I love Him!

Which brings me to my next update: Jake and I have been going to Existence Church this school year. He has been going for quite some time, but I have gone to Flood Church since my freshman year, so this a change for me...but I am really enjoying the urgent message to be an inclusive missional community...and I love the worship.

Jake and I are leaving for Arizona tomorrow afternoon once he is finished with Baseball stats for the PLNU doubleheader tomorrow. I'm excited to be home for a few days, and I love Easter...It's a hopeful time...I'll leave you with this song,

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Refrain:
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

And now complete in Him,
My robe, His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
Shall rend the vaulted skies.

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down,
All down at Jesus’ feet.
