reminders are always good.

lately ive been reminiscing a lot about my freshman year of college- mostly about my relationship with the Lord that year. i picked up my Bible that i got that christmas and started paging through; it brought tears to my eyes. it was one of the sweetest times with the Lord i have ever known. all the kind words he said to me. he still talks to me, but i'm in a different place now. i like where i am- im satisfied in Him. but it's incomparable to that season. ive since switched Bibles to get a different translation (from nlt to nkjv, if you were wondering), so looking through that Bible is big for me. i had a fire lit under my feet for reading the Word- it was all i did i think. looking at the things i marked, the notes i penned. i think He's reminding me of the things i learned in that short amount of time. it's nice to be reminded.

the sweetness of his love
my name is anna
he's bigger. always.
he likes me. he genuinely likes hanging out with me.
the Word always wins. period. its important.
i am israel. i am chosen by Him.
the book of isaiah will always move my heart.

ive also been listening to david platt sermons like its my job. free as sons made me cry... spirit of adoption. he loves us, doesnt he? he really loves us. hes jealous for us.
