perfect day!

Today is the PERFECT day! with the exception that I had to come to work. yuck. i would so much rather be laying by the pool! my friend katie from tyler came down and spent the night with me. we woke up, ate some good breakfast and met whitney and some other friends at the pool. we had so much fun laughing, talking and just enjoying the hot weather and cool water. 2:00 meant happy hour at sonic so off we went. nothing like a strawberry limeade slush with vanilla at half price!

after work we're going to see 'soul surfer'. i've heard it is supposed to be pretty good so i'm looking forward to seeing it

i'm really ready for church tomorrow! i LOVE the village and love how the Lord is working in me through that church. if you're ever in the dallas area on a saturday evening or sunday morning you should stop by and check it out, you won't regret it!

The Village Church

my last post was in anticipation of some sunny weather so i could lay out and boy did the Lord provide! not only did i get my tan on today but last weekend as well. i was loving it! on saturday i slept in, laid out,  and then attended church. it was wonderful! sunday i slept in, went to the pool, met my mom and one of her friends in arlington for some dinner and then watched this show called dexter. i may or may not be becoming MILDLY addicted to this show. i've only seen a couple episode but its so weird and interesting and i can't not know what going to happen next. i'm have also become increasingly addicted to twitter! follow me @meisemily!

last week was a great week. the Lord is continually teaching me and enriching my life using His children and i love love love it. i love the friendships He is growing and the people that He has placed in my life for this time. for the first time in a long time i'm looking forward instead of just living in the moment. i only have one more year of school left- CRAZY! i better start looking forward! before i know it, i'll be graduating and leaving the college life behind. scary? yes. ready? hopefully so! does God have me in the palm of Him hand? always. i choose to see this as an opportunity for Him to increase my faith and show me more of who He is and what He has for me. so thinking about it like that makes me pretty excited!

i'm still obsessed with Adele- no surprise there- but i've also jumped on the 'Mumford and Son' train, as well as 'Florence & The Machine' but the more I listen to those artist the more I realize that nothing can speak to my soul like Shawn McDonald, Shane&Shane, and Kari Jobe. The way the Lord uses music in my life is so neat. i feel myself falling more and more in love with Him every day and the more i love Him the more i desire Him. i love the feeling of not being able to get enough of Him. its only by His grace and mercy that i can approach Him and the fact that He hears me, loves me, and cares about me leaves me in awe. His faithfulness is something i wont be able to understand until i am in Heaven- can't wait for that day:)
