Weather, Lyrics and happiness

So it's amazing how much weather affects my mood! Today was a beautiful day, the sun shining, perfect temperature, and so all I wanted to do was to be outside! It's funny how this weather makes me feel that I can conquer the world... I got done way more work than I thought I would. I just love springtime.

Then I was at starbucks (a second time today...) and listening to my ipod on shuffle and an old favorite praise song came on... my favorite part goes like this:
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You.

I just love the words to that song. I want my one passion in this life that I'm living to be no thing and no one else but Jesus Christ my Savior. I want to run hard after Him, not just run to him when things are hard... but I want to constantly be running after Him, asking Him where He wants me, what His purpose is for me, what He wants me to do. I want nothing more than to follow God's will for me. There are so many things that I want to do, so many places I want to go... but I want no part of it if God doesn't want me there to do those things.

As much as I didn't want to come back to school... it really is so good being back. I can't believe how fast the semester is flying by. Before we know it Easter will be here, and then just 2 more weeks after that and finals will be here and it will be summer! It's a sad and happy thought... every time it seems like life is just flying by, it reminds me that I want to not get in a rut, I don't want to just live life wishing classes and homework away, but to really spend the time that I'm here to invest my life and love into other people. It's hard. But what an incredible blessing it is. These are the only 4 years of my life where I will be living with friends day in and day out. I don't want to look back and wish I could have done more. I don't want to get so much into routines and so much into myself that I end up not spending time with others. I don't want to live just an ordinary life. I want to live one that makes a difference and makes a difference for Christ. There's no better thing to strive for.
