Rainy Days and Lattes

Today, it is pouring down rain. As much as I love the rain, many times I am unhappy about it because it means walking to class with soaking wet shoes and socks. However, today I am at work all day and I have rain boots to solve the shoes and socks problem....so today, the rain is good, very good. It is, however, the rain that makes me wish I was in Barnes and Nobles right now, curled up in my favorite (and very soft I might add) chair...with nothing in front of me but a good book and a white chocolate latte.
On a different note, I have seen the Lord move in very big ways over the past couple of weeks. I have really been able to understand how big He is in comparison to how small I am. He is faithful, I am flighty. He is consistent, I am always changing. Jesus is doing big things in my sorority Bible study right now...I am seeing girls who don't know Him, seeking Him; I am seeing girls who have never cared about spiritual things take a interest on the eternal rather than the here and now; and I am seeing girls who walk closely with Him desire to see others actively do the same. To say it has been incredible would be a huge understatement. It has been amazing to watch all these things unfold and know that I have had a part in it and at the same time it has had nothing to do with me....and everything to do with Him. Girls will say very encouraging things to me about how Bible Study has impacted their life which is funny because those very girls have challenged me to love God more than I ever have before...they don't realize that it has been a mutual blessing. Even as all of this is occuring, He has still kept me grounded and humbled by showing me how incredibly weak I am. I thankful for this grace in my life....without it I am ruined...
