I'm convinced that college is one of the reasons why I lost track of time like never before. I can't believe Christmas is in two weeks, 2011 in three, and my 19th birthday just two days later. As if there weren't already enough surprises, the Jenny from a year ago would've never expected her heart to be transformed into what it is today. I was reading a journal entry dated two days before Christmas last year and how I longed to go to the aquarium for my 18th birthday. It all sounded exciting until I read the last sentence, in which I compared myself to a fish that wanted to be free from their prison lifestyle. Obviously I wasn't in the best holiday spirits. But praise God...
"Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." -Psalm 103:1-5
