goodness.

Well, if life could ever feel normal, it does now...as if my life is ever normal. I've finally settled into my fabulous house, started getting in the routine of school/work/friends/life in general, and actually learning how to semi balance it all. I have to admit, I'm enjoying life as of now probably more than I ever have before. It literally seems like the Lord's goodness never stops! I have been able to, for the first time in a long time, genuinely say with a huge smile "SO GOOD!" when someone asks me how I'm doing. It's pretty refreshing to say the least. But today, I saw a friend on campus who asked me how I was. I was happy to answer "SO SO GOOD!" and, he replied that there are 47 synonyms for good in Webster's dictionary, and I should really considering spicing up my answer a bit. And you know, he's right. Because I really am so much more than good. Good really does fail as an adjective to describe my current state.


So, to all of you who are wondering.....I am pleasant, fine, acceptable, admirable, agreeable, capital, choice, commendable, congenial, deluxe, excellent, exceptional, favorable, first-class, first-rate, gnarly, gratifying, great, honorable, marvelous, neat, nice, pleasing, positive, precious, prime, rad, recherché, reputable, satisfactory, satisfying, select, shipshape, sound, spanking, splendid, sterling, stupendous, super, super-eminent, super-excellent, superb, superior, tip-top, up to snuff, valuable, welcome, and wonderful.

I love it! But more than being good...I wanna start thinking good too!!

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."
Philippians 4:6

It's actually really fun. I can think of so many things that are true and noble and right and lovely...and we're actually commanded to just think about them! Like chocolate chip cookies, rain, encouraging texts, a great cup of coffee, an epic conversation, sleeping in, laughing, slacklining, Wii Dance, puppy fur, nachos, dancing, fireplaces, cute shoes, new songs, candles, coke floats, reuniting with old friends, Mozart, ultimate frisbee in the dark with glowsticks, winks, weddings, pot-luck lunches, football, babies' smiles, hilarious videos, roses, raspberry tea, and learning new things!



So much goodness, so little time. Thank you Jesus.
