"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
This is such a cool verse. It reminds me of that childhood sunday school song, "this little light of mine". As of right now, I am only one more therapy session away from being finished with this amazing semester's practicum. I have gained so much more than I thought I would ... and honestly it couldn't have been taught in text books. Such as: goldfish is literally gold, playdoh mixes very easily, and boys will run around the room in circles if you let them. Oh, and the most important lesson: not everything is black and white to children. They can tell when you're having a good or bad day, when you are irritated or excited, and when they simply need to shhh and let me read to them.
I cannot believe in less than two months, I will begin my first of six semesters in grad school! This is absolutely crazy to imagine. I will finally be able to only take classes that pertain to my major, and be able to make a difference in a child's or adult's life. And then, after all of that mess, I will be able to officially write what could be the entire alphabet after my name. I cannot believe how quickly this semester has passed. I made a promise to myself that I would take one picture a day so I could have a memory - fail. I made a promise to myself that I would read a book a month - fail. To be honest, I'm okay with it, because it proves to me once again that I cannot make it without Jesus by my side. I constantly fail, constantly stumble and are constantly tempted. My philosophy is that the it's not how the circumstances effect you, but how you choose to change those circumstances.
Otherwise, life is going splendid. I am so happy where God has placed me in my life, and I am pretty sure if Prince Charming came along, I would have to wait. As much as it almost bugs the crud out of me to say this, but why would I want to rush being in love with someone when I have my whole life to show my unconditional love to my future husband and future children? Here are some other tidbits I've learned about myself this semester:
1. I'm an awful liar.
2. When someone makes a silly face at me I can't help but giggle.
3. Sleeping with my teddy bear keeps the monsters away.
4. My new phone has a horrible alarm. Therefore, I have busted out the old-school radio and tuned it to K-Love.
5. I love to read and I wish I had more time to dive into God's word.
6. I blink a lot in pictures. Go me. ;)
7. I find myself at peace when I'm with my life-time friends.
8. I hate alcoholic drinks because I can now taste the alcohol - gross.
9. I have too many shades of pink for nail polish. I think I have a slight obsession.
10. Organization saved my arse with clinic.
I cannot wait until grad school. It's gonna be big. :)
