He is Risen!!

Happy Easter Everyone!!
Isn't it so amazing that Jesus died on the cross for us and rose again? Honestly, I go through this whole Easter thing every single year, and most times I'm like, "Yes, yes. Jesus died. Yes. Thank you" without much conviction. This year, however, I reevaluated the meaning of the cross. Why did God choose Jesus? Why were we born with sin? were thoughts that I was ashamed of asking myself. However, upon further thought and evaluation I realized that God didn't even have to make us in the first place. We could be little globules of nonexistence. God chose us and made us to glorify Him and have a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ out of His mercy and grace, and sent His one and only Son to die in our sinful place. Why should I even question that kind of grace?

This quarter has been rough, already. School wise I am loving my professors, though all pretty tough, I would rather come out of the class learning something worth the money my parents put into the school. However, looking for housing has been stressful to say the least. I think God is teaching me patience through all of this, though, honestly, I haven't even been waiting that long. I guess I'm just anxious, but I know something will turn up! :) Not gonna lie, I was a hot mess for a couple of days frantically calling apartments for openings and such, but I just get super nervous. I'm only human, you know. Friends have been so gracious and loving these past few weeks, and valuable friendships in the women's community have been growing. I am constantly reminded of God's loving plan that He has for me, and that I don't need to be anxious or worried. Other than that, I am looking forward to spring retreat and the fellowship and worship that will happen there! I don't really know what to expect, but I always come out learning something valuable and new, so I doubt that this weekend will be different from the past!

Just a quick update since I have been too lazy/otherwise occupied.

Happiest Resurrection Day!!
