Things I've learned this year...
1. Living with a room mate, even one you love, is a daily challenge, but it forces you to have charity, mercy, and patience with others & can be a great blessing in disguise
2. That being a Christian in college can be incredibly difficult and that it is very important to search for like-minded friends to encourage your walk.
3. Sleep is secondary to study (ha!)
4. Separation makes the heart grow fonder (is that how it goes? anyways, I miss my mom! haha)
5. That I cannot control my life...whether it comes to my career or my future spouse or my walk in general...and that I need to surrender my trust to Him and let go
6. That dried cherries are awesome in plain oatmeal (w/ a little syrup of course!)
7. That being shy is not helping me any and I need to open up and let people in: what's there to be afraid of!? Nothing! :)
8. That the Eucharist is essential in starting my week and I should make the effort to receive it more than just on Sunday. And simultaneously, confession is super necessary at fighting sin & temptation and restoring oneself to God! Make it a weekly habit!
New Recipes I Want to Try and Make...
1. Veggie Burgers (I didn't like the last recipe I tried too much)
2. More Indian recipes! The dal was a hit so anything involving garam masala, curry, and lentils is ok in my book :D

I love 'The Little Prince!' I have an old copy in English though.....from 1943 I believe. It is a lovely old copy and I so cherish it to pieces!
Big Kari Jobe fan here...so much so that I just bought 2 of her songs to learn on piano, 'My Beloved' & 'You Are For Me.'
I can testify that INDEED separation from loved ones DOES make the heart grow FONDER. :)
I forgot all about pumpkin bread...will have to make some this Autumn. Thanks for reminding me of that loaf of deliciousness! lol
Many blessings, and thanks for the sweet words about me!

I think I'm going to be posting fall recipes that i enjoy...which won't be too often because I don't have a real kitchen at school, but yeah. I'll tell you have the pumpkin bread goes ;)
Thanks Cara! Can't wait to check it out :)
We have the Little Prince in French and my hubby read it. I need to give it a whirl, but my french is rusty.
I have some great Indian recipes if you would like to try some and I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of breads and use Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day. Check their site out and the book.
Will do questionnaire over weekend!
