This has been my easiest semester yet, and I'm loving every minute of it! I just signed up for classes for next semester and will actually be a senior :) Finally, I feel like my hard work is starting to pay off. Fall is here, and the leaves just look amazing, so colorful. This season is just a time for me to reflect on God's wonderful creation that He has made for enjoyment, for purpose.
I feel like lately, I'm starting to fall into the future, in that I'm starting to make big decisions that will greatly affect my future. I just talked to my adviser about getting a paid summer internship, to which he told me that there is actually a LIST! Michael and I have also started into looking at apartments for him to live in after he graduates. I almost feel like his personal real estate agent, and I do enjoy it. I feel like I'm becoming a grown up, and I'm not so sure that I'm ready for it, but then again, I guess I don't really find that out until I can look back. They say hindsight is 20/20.
Michael and I are also discussing future plans, things that involve family, jobs, and circumstances. So far we have not really reached an answer that we are satisfied with. We're working through it, although, I must say that I've been quite stubborn in my mindset, thinking my way is the right way. I'm changing that though, my mindset is changing...for the better.
I just spoke with one of my close friends about these issues that Michael and I are working through, and she just gave me about the best advice I could have received. Basically she reminded me that Michael's and my relationship should be a mirror of Christ and the Bride of Christ. Just that thought started to change my heart, into what I know it should be. Right now in my life, I'm working at being mold-able...I don't want to be so set in my ways that I will not ever question them.
