new beginnings.

a new semester is upon us. it's funny, sometimes i think about all the people that don't view life in "semesters", but instead by season or year. i'd like to be one of those people someday. but not today.

today i am grateful for a new semester.

-for italian students returning to classes and campus.
-for the new bedtime i am establishing for myself.
-for schedules that are filled out ahead of time.
-for daily prayer calendars.
-for established relationships.
-for relationships yet to come.

for the bend i see in the road and the blank pages in my journal.

here's to you new semester.

Hello Melody,

I hear your heart of thankfulness and expectancy for all God has and is going to do. That makes for one beautiful heart!
I love you and pray for you daily,
Mom

"..we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light." Colossians 1:9-12
