Here it is basically summer all year long which is fantastic but I would like to see seasons turn for once. I have never seen the leaves change colour in Autumn or seen snow fall in Winter. :( I would love to have a frozen winter.

I'll pray for you as we go through this season together. Oskana, oh goodness. I hope Spring comes to visit you soon as well. :) Megan — nice! :)

This winter, I turned to art and writing to offset the un-inspiration, and it worked great for me. Even if the outside conditions aren't great, we can always choose to be proactive and make the best of what we've got... it's a good time to try new things. :) Hope Spring hurries to your door this year! Last year, my city had snow nearly 'till May. We missed the all-time record by only a couple of centimetres.

That has to be the explanation. I was having a moment of deeper thinking and am realizing that I'm ready for my life to bloom into spring. I'm ready for something new to be "born" in my life. I'm wanting to be in a "romantic" relationship. Earlier someone asked whether I'd rather love the one I was with or be with the one I love. I answered that I'd rather love the one I was with (which is no one but myself) because I have to love myself and Christ before I can be with the one I love. (Anyone get lost in that logic?) Anyway, it's been on my heart and mind quite frequently of late, so I'm wondering if maybe God's getting me ready...But I don't know. Yet. Please pray for me and all of the girls out there that we may find the one God made for us at the right time (and if it's sooner rather than later, that's totally cool). ;-) Kaysie, I’m thinking that most professors have either forgotten what it’s like to be a student or they’re sadistic.
