Winter Wonderlands and Pleasures of Life

Well, a simple attempt in taking out the trash tonight turned into wading through 2 feet of snow to get back inside my dorm building.... It's a little chilly out there! A blizzard came through yesterday, dumping 15 or so inches of snow on the foot we already had. We have as much snow right now as we had at the end of winter last year. Oh, Minnesota. :)



In other news, I had a great week, and am looking forward to another busy but excellent week again. :) I am currently taking First Corinthians and loving it. Our teacher is chock full of spiritual wisdom, so I'm clinging to as much of it as I can. Mentoring this week has been superb as well--hard, but soooo good! Last week was tough because I felt like I forgot how to mentor over my Thanksgiving break, but this week the Lord brought me back and was blessing my one on ones with my girls each day. I am thrilled and so humbled that He chooses a weak vessel such as myself to shepherd these girls. What a blessing and privilege!

On Friday I travel home again to FL to spend Christmas with my family. Can you say stoked?! Here's what I'm looking forward to:

• loving on my new baby niece =)
• strolling along Park Ave. with my Mama in Winter Park
• listening to the wisdom of my Papa in simple daily conversation
• hiding out with my baby sister at our secret spots to get some quality 1-on-1 time
• laughing with the greatest family in the world
• giving back massages to anyone wanting one
• enjoying the presence of my newest little sister, our foreign exchange student, Trie :)
• experiencing the remarkable blessings of my Lord with my family--most grateful recipients!

I have much to be excited for this Christmas season. What are you most looking forward to?

Rejoicing always for His abundant care,

Jules
