"Bless the Lord, oh my soul, ohhh my soul. Worship His Holy name. Sing like never before. Oh my soul, worship your Holy name."
It's a peaceful morning and it reminds me of home. Two weeks of school left. Dead week and finals. I get to babysit a little boy named Nikita this week! I am so excited!
What a year it has been and how fast time went by. As I think about being in Montana this summer, I feel so much joy in my heart. I am so excited to help Grandma and Grandpa out on the ranch! I love the country life! Right now they have 36 new baby goats that are being bottle fed! How exciting is that!! I keep thinking about all the hilarious instagram posts and snap chats that I'm going to send out this summer! I have so many memories from this ranch and those animals. Despite the two online summer school classes I have, I know that the summer is going to be so relaxing. I think I really need it after this year.
"I want to know you, I want to hear your voice, I want to know you more. I want to touch you, I want to see your face, I want to know you more."
Summer is SO close. We just have to keep working hard a little bit longer. You know, I just love my classes so much. You know when that happens that you really picked the right major. I am so blessed my the girls (and Ryan) in my major and so blessed by the leadership. You know you are loved when you enter the Liberal Studies office and Dr. Berber says, "Whitney is here again!" and when you leave Loni says she loves you. That is pretty special.
"Wipe the dirt off my face, hold me in your embrace, your love always saves the day."
Yesterday while babysitting with Paige, I played "monster" and "giant" with some pretty cute and pretty crazy little boys. I was really tired and really frustrated with linguistics yesterday and to tell you the truth, I really didn't wanted to go. But children just have a way of reminding me that sometimes everything else doesn't matter. In that moment when I was chasing them around their backyard, they mattered. They were important. And linguistics wasn't. All it really took was Paige to say, "Go play with them Whit, you love it, just have fun."
"My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save. Forever, author of salvation, He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave."
Life is life. School is school. I was texting Alissa the other day, feeling very frustrated with school and feeling like I wasn't (won't) get Dean's List. Alissa so reminded me that I am worth SO much more than school. And God loves me so very much for me just being me. I am so blessed by people in my life who can give me those reminders, especially Alissa.
"You are more than the choices that you make, you are more than the summer of past mistakes, you are more than the problems you create. You've been remade."
Paigie just texted me and said Mission: "To complete Whitney's quilt before Montana." Oh my goodness that would be SO great. I want to finish it so badly and I want to show it to Grandma! And I want to snuggle in it! That reminds me of something I said at camp last summer,
"Snuggles? That's my husband's name!" - Cuddles
The rest of the summer, my coworkers would say, "What's your husband's name, Cuddles?" And I would yell, "Snuggles!"
You know we would make a great pair ;)
"Shout to the north and the south, sing to the east and west, Jesus is Savior to all, Lord of Heaven and earth."
It's now 11:07am and I am still in my pajamas with crazy, curly, wild, hair on top of my head. I need to take a shower, finish my kine homework, read my child development book, and then maybe start some moving out packing of my room! Blogging, coffee, and praise music, i need to start my mornings out like this more often!
Now, it's time for another adventure! Look out Sunday, Whitney is ready! But more especially, look out dead week and finals! Cuddles is coming for ya!
xoxoxo,
Cudds (thinking about you Shell! :)
