And for a Moment, the City is mine.

This is a random blog, but my brain is kind of fried from all the reading I've done. 6 books of the bible in 2 days.
It is such a good feeling to have a City like Chicago. To not just live there, but to have it.
I can live in Chicago and be here and write here and work here. But, when all the work is done and everything is getting quiet and a new day begins, it is good to have Chicago.
I've locked myself in the dorms for a few days now and I can't seem to break out of that zombie-like trance. It's as if I forgot who I was and what it means to live here. So now, I am ready for the day and I've taken a walk before breakfast. Imagine that.
I'm supposed to have a laundry party with Allie today, since no one is around. And a Great Pumpkin Party. Oh, joy. OH! I just realized!!
FALL IS HERE! And, it's October! Oh, the wonders of life that just popped into my heart as I saw this picture: Yes, the Joys of Life.
So, I just had to write it all down. Also, I am glad. Because in the middle of this newly-found freedom I am above-all excited for Jesus time. Oh, to read and write what I want to read and write about Jesus. My sweet Jesus.
None of this sillyness could ever amount to anything nearly as meaningful as Jesus. I am coming to understand, as of late, that I am His and He is mine. Oh, Jesus.
I am His and he is Mine.
And for a moment: The City is Ours!
