on another chapter ending-

it's coming to that time of the year again. i can feel summer beckoning in each new day. as i have two more official weeks left until i am a senior in uni-- still cannot believe how quickly time passed-- these last days of my junior year have been filled with laughter, tears, friendship, love and so much that words lack depth. as i am a lover of capturing snapshots of moments stolen, here are some from the past months and weeks. 

it has been a blessing living with my dear friend after retuning from across the pond. we spend nights in prayer, and days in laughter. i just adore my sweet girl! 

excuse the motherly attire. i have been rehearsing for a show i am dancing in this upcoming saturday. words cannot express how much i have yearned to perform again. 

and of course, tea times have been going on as scheduled. last thursday's theme was black & white. 

so many new faces, so many friendships forming-- i am so in love with all this life!

i have only one thing left to conclude: this semester has been difficult, not all smiles. great depth and much healing of open wounds that have and continued to be reopened. i am learning that healing is a process. life is a process. love is a process, and it all begins inside. in the spirit.

i choose love each morning as i wake up and toss the sheets off of my tired body. i have claimed restoration as my own, and forgiveness i learn by reteaching myself the precious gift of my saviour. 

at twenty-one i am still learning so that at twenty-two i will be a year more beautiful. more whole.
