i was going to go with the chicago evangelism team to wrigleyville last night, but i decided to lay low and hang out with myself in the library, which actually consisted of doing psychology and then catching up on modern family. if you heard random spurts of giggles, that would have been me. actually, the library was pretty empty which i guess makes sense on a friday night. i took my bike and rode to the billy graham museum this morning and spent some time with god in the chapel. it felt really really good. this past week burned me out. honestly, being around people constantly and being misunderstood by others burns me out. i just wanna be able to see myself from god's perspective, you know? i was reading jeremiah, and God directed my attention to a couple of verses:
"But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit." -jeremiah 17:7-8
it feels good be alive. to be able to run to God and be still in his presence. i want god to carve in me a deeper well. i want to keep asking him for more of his spirit.
p.s. rode my bike to downtown wheaton and spent way too much time at the local yarn shop. one of the ladies asked me if i was a 'chapel knitter' even though i hadn't mentioned that i was a student at wheaton college. this place is so tiny. i love it.
