Speechless

    Have I mentioned lately that I absolutely love the awakening of spring? All week, (yes even the day we got treacherous downpours of rain) I’ve felt anticipation building up within me, like something in me knows that something big and wonderful is about to happen. The promise of new life, of something so exciting it’s making my bones dance! Even now, we’re going through a cold spell, but as I look out the window, spring is coming! The birds are flying around and singing, the grass is getting greener, the contrast of the bright blue sky and little red berries on the trees is so charming…

    I was talking with my growth group leader and RD last week about how I really feel like my life couldn’t possibly be in a better place than it is now. I go to a college that I absolutely love, I have the most wonderful, godly, encouraging, loving friends that I get to call my brothers and sisters, I get to be an RA of the best hall on campus with the best RD, co, and cluster that I could ask for, I have the BEST family in world with such amazing godly parents that love me so much…I’ve been so blessed with a church family here at school that truly shows what the Body of Christ is supposed to look like, I have the amazing privilege of choosing a leadership team for my hall next year…and oh, those are just the big things that God has been lavishing on me in the past couple of weeks!  It seems like every day I’ve been so overwhelmed with God’s goodness that I seriously don’t know how to handle it!

"And I am speechless, I'm astonished and amazed 
I am silenced by Your wondrous grace 
You have saved me 
You have raised me from the grave 
And I am speechless in Your presence now 
I'm astounded as I consider how 
You have shown us 
A love that leaves us speechless!"

Old school music I know, but it's just been running through my head over and over lately. :)
