Today I felt God's presence even more strongly than yesterday, and that's all I could ask for.
I felt it when I walked in my flip flops around the lake after Religion and Culture to visit Jeremy for our morning talk.
I felt it when I was in chapel singing and felt Nate's elbow against my arm.
I felt it at lunch when I got sick of Mexican and ate peaches instead.
I felt it when I was driving downtown in Xenia with Krysten in Mark's car to pick up cookies at Oasis, and when my cell phone lit up with the name "Button" when I parked the car in the SSC instead of Tyler.
I felt it in the chapel, when I was on the phone crying with Janna and Ryan Dunlap offered me a comforting smile in the midst of his SIFE stuff.
I felt it in our JS meeting, when I leaned up against Jillian's back and rested my head on hers.
I felt it driving around with Janna in the Miata with the top down and our dark hair becoming knotted in the wind, despite our efforts to keep it up.
I felt it at dinner in Chuck's, laughing and making fun of apple fritters with Janna and the Brando and Amimi.
I felt it at Janna's house later, by myself, the wind blowing in open windows and screen doors and curled up under an afghan as the sun set and I thought about the walk I just took with my dog. We ran all over campus in the fading light, and he licked Dr. Ormsbee's hands.
I felt it playing cards with Nate, and under his arm, and wrestling with him in the way we do so well while we listened to the "favorites" mix.
I felt it running the concession stand and selling out and making jokes with Dr. Robey.
I felt it hanging out in the DMC with Nate and some of the JS girls, debating what's going to happen in chapel tomorrow.
I felt it coming home to my roommate, and showering late at night, and wandering down to see my girls in North.
Our God is so good. He walks beside me and brings a million blessings into every day.
