Come Like The Wind. Come Like Rain. Come Like a Lion.

Today was a very interesting day... for me at least. It all started out with finishing up on some Jr. League design work and then contemplating cleaning my room... which has yet to be done but will be done between classes tomorrow haha... ANYWAYS... after I left my house this morning, I headed to campus to pick up some ladies in my class so we could head to the Canal Walk downtown... as we arrived downtown CRUSHCRUSHCRUSH by Paramore came on the radio and BAM an image of my sisters Melissa and Michelle came into my head... b/c they made a music video a while back... and so I started rocking out and so did my car full of Graphic Design kids!!! HAHA... yes.

So we walked the Canal Walk as part of a field trip for our METHODS AND PROCESSES class. I took tons of photographs and drew a little bit. The lighting wasn't ideal for beautiful photography but it was an ideal day... kind of :)... while walking we spotted three people, who looked important, wearing wetsuits and carrying metal detectors... they were searching in the canal for evidence... pretty intense I tell yah! That's Richmond for you! I then walked to the train station with my friend Brian and we took more photographs of buildings and whatever we could find to take a photo of and then we headed back and I got some pizza from this joint down there as well as "Orange Dream" some creamsicle flavoured soda!!!

After Shockoe Bottom I headed back to school and met some peeps in the brary... those peeps meaning Melissa and Jonsi. I snuck up on them while they were watching a video... but it seemed important so I decided it would be good to awkwardly stand behind them... then I had history... and then I drove to Carytown... basically for no reason. Then I got a text from my sister MelWren and it made my heart smile... COME TO SHAFER! I was stoked right?! YEAH!... b/c all I was going to do after Carytown was go home and do nothing but work or something like that so that was nice to be invited!!!

So I went and ate a substantial amount of foods and got to be with my loves. Then I went to Every Nation Campus Ministry (not sure if that's right) at HARVEST!!! :). Totally welcomed at first breath and smile as I walked in and just sang and praised God and the Holy Spirit. I smiled a lot. and and and it's cool b/c a lion was brought up again and and and for me this is a significant thing in my life so it was really neat to hear Courtney talk about a lion and God as a lion. MAN HE IS BEAUTIFUL. phew. haha!

yes. LOVE YOU.

You inspire me so much. I forgot to tell you that yesterday after my eye was healed someone prophesied over me and encouraged me in my artistic giftings. This is the third time that's happened! So yeah. I really need to be faithful to God in this! I believe He sent you here for so many reasons, one of them being to spur me on!
