Birthday Things

I have mixed thoughts about being 19. On one hand, I can't believe that I'm 19 years into my life, but at the same time it's hard to believe I'm ONLY 19 years into my life. Is 19 a lot of years? I don't feel like it is, but then again I do. Curious.
I've got some pretty stinking awesome roomies though... They surprised me last night with a cardboard cutout of Dobby from Harry Potter :) I couldn't even believe it! I STILL can't believe it! We had passed his little cutout probably 5 times and I always joked about how cute it was and all, and now I have one! Crazy.
I have been at school for almost 2 months. It's flown by, but at the same time it feels like I have been here for ages. It seems as though I don't have a very good understanding of time. Ha!
So many people have been asking me what I want for my birthday, and I feel so blessed to have the question be what do you WANT, not what do you NEED. There is nothing I need. I have everything I could need, and for that matter, want. I came up with a few things that I could definitely use, but I could also live without. How blessed I truly am.
I love my family, my friends, my God. But on the subject of love, I must say that as I daily continue to seek the Lord and strengthen my relationship with Him, I have found that love itself is something as un-grasp-able (HA!) as God is. It's often quoted that love is like the wind- you can't see it, but you can feel it. I think there's another reason it could be like wind, because wind is always changing- getting stronger and such, just like love. Plus, there's never an end to wind, there's always just a little bit no matter what or where. Love is also like space, it just goes on forever and ever, more than any human can ever find out. Ah, love. What a joyous gift God has blessed us with.

I guess I just decided to ramble a little on this one, I hope you enjoyed it.
