So, today was pretty amazing. Me and two other lovely ladies went and gave out homemade roses and Valentine's Day cards to some sweet widows at a nursing home.  Being single on a Romantic Holiday can be depressing but think about women who have lived a long life with the man that they love and then lose him. Think of how painful that would be to spend Valentine's Day thinking about the love of your life that is no longer living.  They were so thankful that we would think of them and take time to make such a simple gift. Not only was I encouraged by loving on these sweet ladies I was also encouraged by the ladies I went with.  I've never really had close girl friends...I have always had guy friends just because girls can be so hard to befriend. I've been praying for a while that God would send me friendships that could grow me and hold me accountable. I'm pretty sure He has answered this prayer. The conversations we had going to and from the nursing home were so good and so encouraging. These girls have helped me in my walk with Christ as well as getting through some rough trials these past few months. I'm so excited to see how God is going to use me and these girls this semester! I have a feeling He will be putting us out of  our comfort zones alot but that's totally cool with me.
     On another note, I hope everyone has a great Valentine's day. Wether you're single or have that special someone. If you're single, take the day to appreciate your singleness and thank God for the person He has waiting for you. If you're in a relationship be thankful you have that person and you should really be treating them special everyday not just Vday. ;)  I'm going to be spending tomorrow with some awesome ladies and thanking God that He's given me such awesome friends.  Happy Valentine's Day! :)
