God is really cool.

Today one of my best friends made a big decision she's been struggling to make for a few weeks. You have no idea how exciting it is to see how God worked in that decision...and to know that it wasn't really her thought processes at all that was the turning point - but completely and utterly God's hand that did all the work. It was definitely awesome and I'm so super pumped to hear the relief in her voice and to know that there is a huge weight now off her shoulders. Wow...exciting. It's kinda crazy how God can teach you things. Even through things that aren't your struggles or difficulties. God has shown me a lot and taught me a lot through a situation that wasn't even my own. Superb.

I think I am about to go drive around and watch the sunset....and perhaps try to snag a few good pictures of it while I'm out there. Clemson sunsets are absolutely beautiful - so I'm going to try to catch as many as I can, and truly enjoy them before I have to go.

A thought to depart with:

"The Kingdom belongs to people who aren't trying to look good or impress anybody, even themselves. They are not plotting how they can call attention to themselves, worrying about how their actions will be interpreted or wondering if they will get gold stars for their behavior."

Let me know your thoughts on that if you will - I have mine, but also talk myself in circles sometimes concerning it. Perhaps I'll share mine some other time, but now the sunset calls....
