Day 184: Empty Room

Today was one of the saddest days of my life. I hated moving out of the dorm and away from my roommate and friends. It will only be a matter of a few months before we are all reunited, but I couldn't help being upset. I was the first one on our floor to move out. The room was so empty. It seemed more vacant than when we moved in in August! Special thanks to my mom, brother, Danielle, Kayce, Hannah, and Raychel, all of whom were invaluable in the un-moving process.

I'm still so super sad just thinking about it. But I will let the pictures relate this sadness unto you.

After goodbyes were tearfully said, my mom and I met Jenny for Mochi. I got red velvet flavor which was AWESOME! and my mom really enjoyed her fro-yo as well. It was her first time there, so that was exciting. Then we hit the road. Stopped to eat dinner at Cracker Barrel and had a great time there with our hilarious waiter. Plus, I got a new painting for my room next year. (I know, I just moved out of my dorm this year, how can I imagine next year?) It's beautiful!

"Come let us sing for joy" (The bird isn't mine. Google pictures...)

So. Now I am safely back home and miss school dearly already. My room is just not the same without someone to share it with.

But that being said, we move on to the great part about today. Well two great things. 1) it's EARTH DAY! and 2) it's GOOD FRIDAY!!!! Good Friday. The day that Jesus Christ died on the cross for us and our sins. Totally undeserving. So as you reflect on this bewildering action of love, listen to this songs.

True Love - Phil Wickham

Come close listen to the story about a love more faithful than the morning. The Father gave His only Son just to save us.

The earth was shaking in the dark, all creation felt the Father's broken heart. Tears were filling Heaven's eyes the day that True Love died, the day that True Love died. When blood and water hit the ground, walls we couldn't move came crashing down. We were free and made alive the day that True Love died, The day that Jesus died.
