Spring Green

Other than Carolina blue, there is no better color than spring green in the leaves of the trees that have just come back to life after withstanding a cold and climate-confused winter...in my opinion...you are more than welcome to think what you want to.

Armanti Edwards went in the second round of the NFL draft the other day...to the Carolina Panthers! I just think that is exciting.

Even though the semester is almost over, it doesn't seem like it because I have this silly online philosophy class that has a never-ending load of work...and my brain doesn't work that way, so it's rough. But I'm just trying to learn what I can and not think too much about how these tests I've had to take are going to affect my final grade...I know that they will have a profound impact and I'm not in denial, but I'd rather just not think about it...I'm placing my trust in the Lord's hands for that one.

I just think it's amazing how God's Word is alive...every time I read a passage, I get something else out of it that I had missed before. And even if you read the Bible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for your entire life, I'm convinced that God would continue to reveal things to you and teach you through it. In church today, I opened up my Bible to look up a verse that I thought of in the midst of the sermon...I started reading that verse and the context and such...and before I knew it, I had read 4 chapters of Isaiah. I would have kept reading, but church was over...I just find that astounding!

It's rather frustrating to have to read and study for class when I would be perfectly content just sitting and listening to the Word of God. Yes, I know...I, Kelsey Noelle Willis (the girl who despises sitting still), just said that I would be happy doing just that. Most of the time, I feel like I need to be doing something all the time...I like being busy more than anything else...and sometimes I intentionally schedule too many things than can possibly be accomplished in a day. But I'm beginning to realize that there are times throughout the day and sometimes full days at a time when God just gives me the time to be still and learn from Him in one way or another. It is rather difficult to hear from the Lord when you are too busy to even start working on your homework until midnight.

Take a deep breath and trust.
