Rain. Beautiful Rain. Fresh.

Tonight is beautiful.
I am sitting on my bed right in front of the window.
There's absolutely nothing like smelling fresh rain, listening to the pitter patter and sprinkle of rain drops and hearing some rolling thunder. A nice cool breeze wading into my room. How lovely.

Fresh. New starts. Change. Rain washes away so much.

God is so good.

Chapel today was given by Dr. Guy Richardson and he did have some thought provoking statements.
He said how leaders serve. He brought up the story of how Jesus washed the feet of the disciples and commented on how, to wash someone's feet, you have to bend over or kneel down, you can't be standing up proudly. Great reminder that no job is too low for a leader.

Shared a statement on love: You can give without loving but you can't love without giving.

Ballet was also very encouraging too. Our dance teacher stopped and asked us how we were doing. After many comments of "stressed" or "sick" he mentioned James 1:17 and Matthew 11:30. It was neat to hear someone talk about how even in the midst of circumstances you can still find a way to 'dance'. Great reminders that God is in control. He wants us to lose control so he can take it.

The joy of the Lord is my strength.
