Last Thoughts in Upland

I sit on my couch relaxed for the first time in two weeks.  Finals are written, presented, and turned in.  Perfect.  I've said a few goodbyes, successfully, without tears.  It hasn't truly hit that I won't be coming back after break.  But I look forward to the new friendships that will form in D.C.

This has been a great semester at Taylor, I have learned more about myself than ever before.  I could ramble on about every little thing God has taught me, but I've decided to do what I do best.  Make a list.

10. Others know me better than I know myself.
9.  God's timing is perfect, even if it doesn't seem like it.
8.  First West girls are the best.
7.  It's important to pursue relationships
6.  Prayer is powerful
5.  When you are doing God's will, life is all around better
4.  You know who you are, when you know who you are not
3.  Family and friend time must be intentional- no technology!
2.  While our life here is temporary, we are still called to work in ourselves and others
1.  There is no pain without purpose.

God is good.  I have been blessed with a wonderful semester filled with the best of old friends, and the opportunity to make new ones.  I'm filled with sadness to leave these relationships, but look with great anticipation to next semester.  But first, a much needed restful break with family.
