I love this little guy more than anything in the world! I'm pretty sure I say that every five seconds, but I can't get over how absolutely wonderful he is. I've been spending more time with him, and I can't get enough. Whenever I go to leave, he begs me to stay, and it just breaks my heart. He is the best. Look at his silly face!

I've definitely been keeping busy with school. Papers, midterms and readings keep me up to my neck in homework, and I am proud of the work I'm producing and the grades I'm getting. In the midst of it, I am blessed to be able to still spend tons of time with the amazing people around me, ones I live with, and ones who hang out here. Community upholds so much in my life, I don't know what I'd do without it.

A lack of justice in the world around me has been bothering me lately. It's not okay that there is so much poverty, homelessness, rape, domestic violence, mistreatment of women, discrimination, etc. It's not okay that this doesn't upset us anymore. Seeing this on a personal level, in my life and the lives around me, burdens me to no end. I believe that we are called to love so violently that it changes circumstances around us. Whether or not you know the living God, you are called to make a difference in the community around us. And if you know God, there is more of a responsibility upon you. You have known the deep, intimate, life changing love of Jesus, and have the absolute requirement to spread that to the world around us that needs it more than breath.

On another note, Fall is here and I could not be more excited. My room is decorated for Halloween, I've pulled out my socks, and earrings. Seen here are my garbage bag ghosts, stuffed with notes from class and hung from my ceiling. Also seen are my pumpkin lights around my mirror. My room is so festive, it makes me so happy!

These are the things on my heart lately. God is moving, He is good, and He is enough. I want to love Him more every day....
