21
WOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOO it's official...I am at the adult age of 21 + one day. Yesterday I celebrated my 21st year of life with canceled class, no work, and a little bit of shopping. And it ended with a celebration shin-dig of my first drink (white wine) with my sorority sisters. I would say it was one for the books. And the party just doesn't stop there. Next week there will be a big dinner with the pals. The one thing I'm most excited about being 21 (besides not having my 16yr old face on my DL) is I finally won't have to spend countless hours trying to scrub off those big black X's on my hands after attending a concert!

words
Read these words:
"The Gospel is—we are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared to believe, and at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope. This is the only kind of relationship that will really transform us. Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it. God’s saving love in Christ, however, is marked by both radical truthfulness about who we are and yet also radical, unconditional commitment to us." - Timothy Keller
I find in some seasons of our walks that we hear and read words of our father's love, yet our hearts and minds brush them aside, refusing to believe that one is worthy of that love or that God is really that big. I am there and I don't like it. I feel like I am wondering with no purpose. I have no idea where God is leading me and the only thing I now for sure is that school is over in a month and I have an obnoxious summer class in two and Haiti in three. I am nervous about not finding a summer job, not knowing where to apply to graduate school in the fall, and not hearing the Spirit's whisper. Doubt and worry are evil. I dispise Satan for putting them it in my heart. Therefore I will rest in the above words from Mr.Keller.
