Guiding Me Always.

Here are some pictures I took around campus a while back. My lack of inspiration has continued. I feel like I have nothing about which to blog. I haven't even wanted to get on blogger. I know, it's been a while, but I don't have much to say. 

I do have one new thing, though. I think I want to begin doing book reviews here. Not just a few sentences, real reviews. Expect my first one on The Elegance of the Hedgehog in a few days. 

In other news, Thanksgiving was wonderful for the most part. I have some pictures on that coming later this week. I enjoyed being home, and I am ready to be there for Christmas. I see Thanksgiving break as a tease. It makes me wish I was home to celebrate with my family. I long for decorating the tree, drinking cider, and enjoying the relaxation of the season with my family. But instead I am back at school (there's nothing wrong with that, I do love it here) preparing for finals. In a little over a week I will be packing up my things for good and moving out of the beloved Kappa house for good. My next semester will be taking place in Italy. I still don't believe it's really happening. Me, in Italy, no. For four months? What? 

I can't wait to blog from there, to show you all that I will be doing, all the people I will be meeting. I am more than likely building up this trip in my mind to less than realistic expectations. But whatever happens, I do feel it is where the Lord wants me to be. For whatever reason. 

I read this verse this morning and loved it. No matter how I am feeling, God always meets me where I am. I get so upset, I feel that He is far from me and give up. But every time I come back to Him, He is right there waiting for me and tells me exactly what I need to hear. It's so silly I doubt. Satan plays an awful game. But I thank God that He is stronger. 

The Lord will guide you always;

he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land

and will strengthen your frame. 

You will be like a well-watered garden, 

like a spring whose waters never fail. 

Isaiah 58:11
