It may be 2013 but I have written 2012 on one too many things lately. It's crazy how fast time flies. One day you are sitting in your kitchen working on a Cinderella movie poster puzzle with your family and then the next you are in your final semester of college. Although several years have past and many memories were created between those events, one thing remains true: time flies. In fact it flies so fast we tend to forget what we are doing and things become routine. Routines are extremely important during the school year and necessary if we want to be able to get anything done during the day. But we can't forget that anything can happen at any moment. Life happens, circumstances come up, but we aren't defined by our circumstances, we are defined by who we are in Christ. Tough times will come, disappointments arise but that doesn't change God's love for us. He is always the same. He never changes. No matter what chaos is going on in our lives, God will always love us. It doesn't matter how much coffee we consume or how many times we get frustrated or upset, He will always love and cherish us because we are His. We belong to Him.
I have a confession.. I love Valentine's day. It may seem really typical for a girl to say that but it's a holiday where we get to celebrate love. And I love LOVE! The best part about love is that it's undeserving. We don't deserve to be loved. We are nothing, but in God's eyes we are precious. I hope that I will always view His love like that and never take it for granted. :)
Ciao!

Hi Emily, I enjoyed reading how God has always been there for you through all your difficult times and moments of greatest joy. I was feeling a bit down and your words and messages reminded me that I need to get closer to God and look to him daily for direction and thank him for all his gifts he has blessed us with. Thanks.
