Lover of my Soul!

 This has been a great week!!! Tonight is my last night of LTS which is sad yet good! I have grown so much in the past month it is crazy.  My brain is on information overload.

Lets see if I have some funny stories....  Last Saturday we went to the Union building in Pretoria, SA and watched the sunset while drinking Dr. Pepper and eating Poo cookies. It was absolutely beautiful.  I am constantly reminded of how amazing God is with the people I am surrounded by and the natural beauty of creation!  Then we played mini golf which was fantastic (Morgan and I dominated.... not quite sure how that happened...Sorry Bryan and Kayla).  Been studying a lot and really trying to understand more and more.  OH we also went and played, Basketball/Soccer/Volleyball with a GIANT beach ball!! It was so much fun!!
LIFE HAS BEEN GREAT!!
I have to say I am making life long friends and I love them so much.  ( I GNAZY YOU.... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) 

Had a terrible fever yesterday and last night.  Which leads to one more kinda funny yet serious story before I go all deep and PROFOUND on you....
I was burning up last night like crazy and couldn't sleep.  Around three in the morning I decided to go to the bathroom and get a drink of water.  After drinking I was going to go back to bed yet felt really really dizzy so I just sat in the hallway.  I felt like I needed to go to the bathroom so I went back to the bathroom and after using the toilet I was leaving the bathroom stall unlocking the door.....when about 10-20 minutes later I woke up lying in between the toilet and the wall. I had passed out in the bathroom.... Not only that but I banged my fingers some how and also broke the toilet seat with my head.   I have a little bruise on my face and yeah! That Is my legendary story for the day!!  TIA hahaha!!

Well now on a more serious note......

  Have you ever read Song of Songs all the way through?
Have you ever seen the beauty of His love for us through that book?
I was reading it this past week and It is so amazing to me.  The way He chases after us, How he longs for our love and affection. I always thought Song of Songs was just a love book... But look deeper into it. There is such a beautiful story there. About a girl who was put to work by her borthers and made fun of saying she wasn't pretty enough.  Then she found this guy who would ravish her with love and all she could do was blush for she didn't believe it! Then one day while talking with her girlfriends she realized that she longed for him and wanted to be with him!  He had to leave to go back where he came from, But he promised her that he would return.  Then one day as the girl was talking with her friends, they heard that the king was coming to the land.  They were all very excited about this for they had never seen the king.  When he arrived he step out to greet the people. She bowed down to him. He put his finger under her chin and lifted her head. To her surprise the KING was the GUY. She couldn't believe it.  He told her  that he didn't tell her who he was because he wanted her love!
Such an amazingly beautiful story! Christ is doing that for us.  He is parading around saying look at me I am the King but rather serving for He wants our love!!
