i went to D2 today, it was chocolate day. i'm pretty sure more than half of campus was there too. i kind of liked it though, because when the place is so packed, you have to sit next to complete strangers. i love strangers. anyways, i was with my two other friends. when we met up for dinner, we realized we were all decked out in YL paraphernalia. can't say i can complain, what else would you rather be decked out in? but anyways, the strangers beside us noticed, called us a posse, but also complimented us. the guy that initiated the conversation asked if we were involved in leadership here, and we filled him in on the fact that it started next week, but we were planning on being there. he and his friend were very impressed and very encouraging. they were involved in another campus outreach program, and not only is that awesome to randomly sit beside a stranger that loves Jesus, but its cool that they appreciate and admire the time and dedication that we're about to put into high school and middle school kids. have i mentioned that i can't wait? i don't think i have.

i can't wait. 

i would go right now. but, unfortunately, i need a college degree to go on staff. trust me, i'm not complaining. i love college and all that it has done for me so far, but i just want to go. now. i want to go. last night in one of my bible studies, we were asked where our heart is. my heart is for high school and middle school girls. i love them. i want them to know that there is more to life than what this stupid world tells us. all the crap we are constantly being fed, all the stuff that weighs on our hearts and brings us down, i want to tell them that there is more. i want to show them that there is more. people always ask me for what i'm looking for in a husband, and i have to include that he has to be okay with girls being at the house at all hours of the day, all times of the year. i want to be their leader. i want to show them Christ. i want them to fall so madly, deeply, truly in love with the One who loves them the most. i want to be at their pictures for dances, take them out to breakfast, have sleepovers, bonfires, picnics, go hiking, take roadtrips, and most importantly be there to point them to Christ. just be there. i never had that, and i never want that to be the case for anyone else.

i can't wait. 

p.s. eat responsibly on chocolate day, or else you'll feel sugar sick for hours.
