The End.

I've been in "Chicago-land" now for almost 3 months. Man has it flown by! I am preparing to move back for school with in the week and I can hardly believe it! It's been a good summer! Full of all the things that needed to happen to take me in the next season in my life, so I am thankful.

Surprisingly [or maybe not so much!] I am so stoked about school beginning up again! I think I am motivated just as much by the end result as the idea that I will have something to keep me entertained for the next few months. I really can't wait to get the degree I am going for though, and then get an amazing job with that! I know it'll be worth it in the end, and I am excited about the journey getting there also. As long as I just keep telling myself that, and reminding my heart what my brain knows, I will be able to stay focused.

However, I have been stuck with my head in the clouds the past week or two as I finish reading the series I am going through this summer. I blogged about it previously [ The Circle Trilogy! ] and attested to it's epicness, by which I stand firmly! The only problem I find myself running into when I read these books is I get bored of this world and wish that I could walk through a Narnia-like spare wardrobe and enter the world that these people live in. I love everything about it-- the way they fight for love, the way Justin never fails them, the way that they romance the person they were destined for, the way that God pursues their hearts so tangibly. There's so much more too--and it simply leaves me longing for eternity, which I suppose in the long run is a really good thing, but it makes me want it now :) I can be patient though, and know that the Kingdom of God really does already live in me, and I have the ability to live in such a way. Jesus teach me how!

I can't wait for our wedding day to come. Let me see your face.
