and I love the beauty of simplicity.

Spring break is over, and I will blog about it eventually. Just not now. Not yet (:

I have been completely in love with the simple things in life lately. For example, waking up just a little earlier to eat breakfast and wake up slowly, spend a little more time with God, put some decent clothes on and just start the day. It's a completely day-changing thing, yet so simple. ALSO, writing letters, I've always been a fan. Lately, a bigger fan. I want people to know how much they mean to me. So simple, but so important. I've also been trying to focus more on school work. Not more time on it, but better management. So productive, yet so simple. Sitting down with friends for coffee or dinner and talking about more than our food or clothes. So simple, but so needed. God's really been working in my heart lately in ways that are hard to describe. He is showing me the importance of little simple things and that certain things that are high on my priority list need to be bumped down or even gone.

Life has made a 360 lately. I can't explain it to you, but trust me. My heart is broken and I'm learning how important it is to base my life soley (is that the right word?) around Christ. Yes, easily said. but how often to I put sleep in front of Christ? Friends? Studying? anything that comes up? Why do I need to put those in FRONT of Christ? No need. I am learning how Christ can be the center of everything I do. I need to have the mindset and pray for disipline in that area. Christ needs to be my motivation for everything. It's always said, but rarely put into action. He doesn't have to be second to friends and studying or anything else I put in front, He needs to be the center of it. The center of all my actions. ALL. That's the catch, it's impossible. I'm human. But that can be my drive.

I'm at a point in my life where "life" is becoming real. I'm in a valley and God's stretching me. I'm growing in Him and learning what it means to be only satisfied in Him. I've been praying for this brokeness, didn't expect in this way, but brokeness- none the less. I have peace, it took a while, but it's there. ANYWAY. I'll right about spring break later, and what happened with my heart there.

Love.
