i can hear the birds singing

Over the past few days while walking around campus to my classes a wonderful thing has been happening. The birds have been singing so loudly!!! I thoroughly enjoy this occurrence because that means spring is just around the corner. I am most definitely a warm weather girl and just the thought of spring makes me so happy. The weather this week has been warm and peaceful and I have been taking in every moment of it. I am just waiting for the day I can slip on flip flops. Only then will winter be officially gone.

Today I started counting down the days until I start my time at PASSPORT missions camp. I have 106 days until I have to be in Macon GA for training. I am super stoked and cant wait for this amazing experience to start. God has really answered my prayers and I am excited to see what he has in store for me this summer.

To catch everybody up on reading...
Still in Acts and Proverbs. On Tuesday I read Acts 13-15 and Proverbs 11:16-31, Wed. I read Acts 16-18 and Proverbs 12:1-14, and Today I read Acts 19-21 and Proverbs 12:15-28. Acts is getting intriguing because Paul is preaching to Gentiles now and the Jews don't like it. He is about to be thrown in jail for spreading the gospel of Jesus. I just keep thinking to myself how courageous he is and that I wish I could be courageous like him. Proverbs is still filling me awe and wonder. It is funny how simple phrases of wisdom can open your eyes so much to how we should walk in the Lord and conduct ourselves. It is some mighty powerful stuff.

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Chase and I are celebrating Valentines Day late. We are going out to dinner and then I am taking him somewhere really cool. I will have to update you later on the location because it is a surprise to him!!!! Chase's older brother is also moving down close to us because he got his first teaching job!!! So we might head over there and help his family get him all settled in. This is an exciting but scary time for him so prayers would be greatly appreciated. I pray that everybody has a great rest of the week and that your weekend is filled with fun and relaxation. Hope that your journey is blessed!!!!
