I have had an absolutely wonderful and long break, which somehow makes it so much more difficult to begin classes today. I'm starting my last academic semester of school - I can't hardly believe that I have just one more semester at the school then a year internship!
To celebrate our last night of "freedom" before the work begins today, Luke and I spontaneously went to the movies to see "Marley and Me" (which both of us really enjoyed). Afterwards, we went to Bruno's and picked up a tiny chocolate birthday cake. My birthday was over Christmas break, and Luke suddenly realized that I had never had a birthday cake - so he decided to remedy that. We came back home and ate it outside on the back porch listening to jazz music and the thunderstorm.
It was a really fun and simple night. Something that I really needed before all of the chaos begins today. I've loved being "normal" and enjoying everything without the stress and deadlines. And part of me hates to go back because I like that laid-back version of me so much better. Yet I'm so close to being done. And these last 4 months will be the hardest until graduation. The hardest part is simply starting back and getting used to the new schedule - by next week, it will all be normal again.
Lately, I've been really convicted about being content in the place where God has me right now. God has called us to be here, in Auburn, as students right now. And there are so many good and wonderful things about that. And I do love this place. So, as we begin this last semester and ultimately year and a half that we have in Auburn, it is my prayer that we may actively seek to glorify our Lord and Savior here in every way possible. And that I might enjoy this time here and the abundant blessings that we have.

I feel like I'm often reminding myself that I need to be content where the Lord has placed me right now. It is so hard to not get impatient. I hope your classes have gotten off to a good start. :) Love you girl!
