* I applied and got into grad school, but I decided not to go all in the same day. What?! I have been thinking about grad school since before I graduated from undergrad and I thought it was what I wanted because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, my life is so drastically different that the thought of not being able to spend valuable time with my family, friends and church family causes tension in my heart. I think that I may revisit the whole grad thing in the future when my circumstances have changed, but for now I am content with where I am.
* At the beginning of this year, I told myself that this is the year that I am going to get closer to God and let him into all parts of my life. One part of my life that I was extremely reluctant to give him was food. I never really struggled with food or exercise until I stopped dance classes and marching band in my mid twenties. I thought that all I needed was exercise, new diet, etc. I did that and lost weight, but still felt the same in my heart. I still ran to desserts and overeating for comfort. For Lent, I gave up those desserts..those temptations that keep me from making real change and dealing with my emotions and feelings. I am challenged everyday to pray and learn God's truths to help me be victorious over food. In my growth group we are reading Made to Crave<http://madetocrave.org/> and it is helping me deal with all of that plus steer my heart closer to God in the process. I am so blessed to have such caring and wonderful ladies to help me on this journey!
* CHRIS TOMLIN 'nuff said! The concert was amazing last night. It was everything and more. Such a great, genuine, singer and songwriter. I love how he said that he had no agenda tonight that we are all just singing and praising to God and no one else. If he is back in the KC area I am definitely going.
I am very tired, but my soul is refreshed. Happy Hump Day!
