I'm in love with College Winters

On go my boots, and my scarf, gloves and hat. I have on leggings and socks up to my knees. Then my coat gets zipped up to my neck and down the hall I go. Once outside I get blasted with a gust of cold winter air, as I brave the cold to get to class. Unlike the snow in the city; when you walk around a college campus, there are no plows or cars that ruin the snow and turn it black and shades of brown. When it snows on a college campus, layer after layer of snow just begins to lay one on top of the other. It is not dirty or mushy and wet, instead, its powdery and glitters, and blows across the campus in swift sheets and swirls of white. Just about everytime that I step out the door it is snowing, just a soft downfall from heaven with thick white snowflakes that land on and stay on the winter apparell that I am adorned with. I am in love, with college winters.

There are Things

There are things in this world,
things that amaze
things that confuse
things that last
and things that break your heart.

Some things you can't figure out. Some things stare you in the face, and others bring great joy and contentment to your life.

Right now, I must say that I am at a place that is in cross roads in my life. I'm not yet happy, but I know that I'm well on my way. On days when I feel like I am never going to get there, and never going to be able to reach my dreams, I look at the beauty of God's creation and the things that he has placed in my life.

Things like my amazing friends who love me very much, and whom I love with all of my heart. They are there for me through everything and I know that I can go to them with everything and anything. Many people grow up and they have their friends who come and go in and out of their lives, but I have been blessed with this amazing group of people that have been in my life for as long as I have had friends. I don't consider them my friends, I don't even consider them my best friends. I consider these people part of my family, and I am completely and utterly blessed with all of them.

Also things like the gentle falling of a light wintery snow. I used to be one of those downers who hated winter because it was cold and disgusting, but my heart has really opened to it this year. I see the snow and the beauty of the red berries against the bare tree and I just stare in amazement. God has created some amazing things in this world. And looking at them daily brings my heart to a place of wonder and amazement for my creator and all of the things he has given me.

I pray that soon I will know where I am supposed to be, and that I will know it is the right choice and the right place for me. Soon, soon, soon.
