Coffee Date

Happy Friday! I hope you have all had a good week! Today i am linking up with Jenna of Dearest Love for a coffee date, it's where we share what's been going on in our lives or the high's and lows of that week. So today i am sharing with you a few highs and a low for this week. 


Highs
Finally getting registered for classes last week, it was stressful at first, but now it's better now that i've got a week behind me. 
Also finally getting all my books, which is kind of both a high and low cause now I have tons of reading to do. 
Our new design is finally done. I hope you like it! We are loving it and all the thanks goes to Rachel Cox of Oh Simple Thoughts, she did a great job and she is so great to work with! 
Low
Missing my family, It's always hard to come back and be so far away from them. But i will be back in March for spring break, so i am excited about that! I just wish they could come visit! 
What are your highs and lows for the week?

    Being away at school from family is always a mixture of fun things and hard things. I'm sure March will be wonderful and that the Lord will do great things with all of you while you're apart! :)

    I love the layout of your blog! And I hear you on the stresses of school. I am in my last semester of college so I've gotten used to registration and getting my books and starting class, but each time I do it it definitely tires me out! Good luck in school! :)

    It's going to be another great semester! I'm so proud of you for pressing on and continuing your education. I just don't have it in me anymore (getting too old I guess ;) )

    Your blog design looks beautiful! Rachel did a great job. :)
    I'm sorry you're missing your family. Do you ever skype with them or send care packages? I wonder if that would ease the pain a little bit.


    Have a great weekend, friend! Thanks for linking up!

    Thanks Natalie! I'm so happy with how it came out!
    So true, i'm in graduate school, but the books are so expensive and there's always so many. But that is typical of college.

Merriam Webster defines beauty as :  the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit. And brokenness is a place that each of us has been in at one time or another.  For me personally I would say that I find beauty in the brokenness in my life, in the seasons that I am in. Weather it be singleness, loss, etc. There's always that feeling that nothing will ever change, but then one day you begin to find beauty in it.  Singleness has always been on of those things for me, that I share a lot about both here and on my personal blog but it's something that I've always seen as a  line between something that is beautiful and just plain hard. I have emailed back and fort...
