I love conversation. Spoken word is truly a lost art waiting to be found again. I've been touched by several great interactions within the last 24 hours. I was filled with anxiety today before a Spanish speaking exam, but a conversation with my friend Lauren calmed my fears. My dad visited Messiah for lunch and I enjoyed the words we shared. Several other exchanges blessed my day. I received great advice yesterday to never fear conversation.
I'm off to NYC for the first time in these 19 years and 24 days of living. Liz and her dad have invited me for a short trip to kick off fall break. I'll be sure to take many pictures.
The realities of college life are hitting me. All the talk about keeping GPA, life plans, mission statements, balancing a social life and homework, being healthy and spending enough time in fellowship tend to stir up some butterflies in my stomach. I know I'm here for a reason, which God is revealing to me slowly but surely.

Saying a prayer for your life tonight, Annie. I'm sure its all overwhelming, but you are so full of grace.
mission statements are one of the most important elements of life to be delved into at this time. I made the wise choice sophomore year to write a mission statement to God, one that I wrote at a moment of impassioned courage and confidence. It spilled out and became a mantra combining faith with hopes, dreams with calling. It transcends into this glorious, guiding force of significance and motivation. Write yours without editing or downplaying the dreams God places in your heart.
