Never Skipped a Beat

Well, where to start.  I haven't blogged in a few days because there has been so much hustle and bustle and its not even Christmas yet!  A few weeks ago, I decided it would be a wonderful idea to skip all of my classes on Monday and leave a whole day early for Thanksgiving break, all just to surprise my parents.  Amazingly, it worked out without a hitch and nowhere along the lines did anyone leak the secret.  I was able to get home Monday night around 4:30pm without any problems.  It was such a blessing for me to be able to spend time with my family, even if it was just a few hours different than me leaving at a different time.

This brings me to tonight.  I was able to make plans with two of my best friends since we were all in the area at the same time.  We went to the local Mexican restaurant and I gorged myself on homemade tortilla chips, amazing pork enchiladas, and margarita's... Don't worry, they were so virgin they should have been named Mary.  ;)  It was so nice to be able to be reunited with two of my three close friends from home, and have it feel like we haven't skipped a beat since I left for school.  One of my friends said "that's a sign of a good friendship, when you can pick up where you leave off without it being weird."  I think this is so true, and applicable to our relationships with Christ.  It doesn't matter how many times we go astray, or just 'forget' to have our quiet time with God, we can always go back to Him and pick up right where we left off.  There have been so, so, so many times where I feel as though I have let God down with my personal relationship with Him, but every time that I come back His grace is evermore abounding!  It drowns me like an ocean wave, like the ones that you don't see coming and it just hits you from behind.  Confession, I really feel like I'm being convicted as I'm writing this because I know that my walk with Christ is not as good as it could be, or should be, but I do know that His "grace abounds in deepest waters, [His] sovereign hand will be my guide"(Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) Lyrics).
