It's the end of another year of college, well almost, I have one final left. But that's close enough! I'm so grateful for the year I've had, in the little spare time I've had with finals, I've been reflecting on the last year and thinking about everything that happened. I got to witness so many beautiful things, I got to watch the Lord build my character, I got to be apart of so many wonderful friendships.
I got to watch the Lord and my best friend love my friend, Emily Socks who I got to watch choose JESUS!
I met one of my best friends, who I'm so thankful to have walking beside me through life!

The Lord blessed me with two wonderful faithful, available, and teachable friends, who I am so proud of, that I got to watch grow in the Lord. And who I can confidently say are going to make awesome small group leaders!! You have both stolen my heart!
And I got to live with some of the most amazing girls I've ever known! I love you three so so so much!!!
But I also have been thinking about how much more of my heart I could have really given to the Lord this year. How much of my heart I could really give to the Lord forever.
In Hosea 2:19, the Lord choose to betroth us forever. Not just in righteousness, justice or compassion, but in LOVE. FOREVER.
How often do we say, "I need to spend more time with the Lord." How often do we make time for things that aren't the Lord and not spend time with the Lord later? I'm not here to convict you of where your time goes. I am saying this though, because this summer can be crucial!
What if this summer we decided to long for the Lord, yearn for the Lord, get passionate about the Lord? Can we attempt to commit ourselves to Him the way He committed himself to us forever?
He handed us a life of eternity.
