As I look into the stars
Pondering how far away they are
How You hold them in Your hands
And still You know this man
You know my inner most being, oh
Even better than I know, than I know myself
What a beautiful God
As I look off into the distance
Watching the sun roll on by
Beautiful colors all around me, oh
Painted all over the sky
The same hands that created all of this
They created you and I
What a beautiful God
What a beautiful God
And what am I, that I might be called Your child
What am I, what am I
That You might know me, my King
What am I, what am I
That You might die, that I might live
What am I, what am I, what am I

So my weekend was amazing. I finally got to go to Auburn and see my best friend. I got hug. I got many amazing hugs from the people that I love.
You know, sometimes I just cannot get over the fact that God loves me. God loves every part of me that I sometimes don't even like. I love this song. It is one of my favorite songs. I love how it shows that the same God who created the awe and wonders of this world, created us. His favorite awe and wonder. At points when I had time to myself this weekend I just couldn't stop praising God for the people He has placed in my life; My best friend of course who I layed in bed with for hours catching up on life. Boys, friends, school, Jesus, old times, and every silly girl thing you can think of. I tell ya, I LOVE being a girl; my mom and dad who show me everyday how to live as Christ in and apart from marriage; and my new friends God has placed in me life. I would lay outside and look up into the sky and wonder. Wonder everything. What am I that God would choose to bless me? What am I that I receive His new grace every morning? Who am I that God would choose to love me?
I learned a lot this weekend. I learned that it is ok that I feel alone sometimes. It's hard, but it's good for the spirit. It just shows me more and more how much God cares for me. He wants me to be so alone right now that no one will interfere with our relationship. Isn't that what every girl longs for? For someone to be so in love and captivated with you that nothing can break it down or interfere with that love? Well now I see how much I really have that. God loves me so much that He is willing to let me go through this tough time so that I will grow in Him. I have the best boyfriend ever.
I have a whole new view on these changes in my life. I am at a point where I am creating a life that is completely my own. This is my time to take everything I have ever learned and start the rest of my life. Samford is going to be amazing. I am not saying it won't continue to be hard and even get harder down the road, but I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that I have some amazing things in store.
And now I leave you with a phrase. You have no idea what it means because it's in greek, but it's funny.
Yia sou file. Kalieo tous bous.
