Brinni and I on picture day :) She was my roommate last year and one of them this year as well. Definately a blessing to me!
Harmony and I at dinner. One of my new roommates and the one I share a room with.
Brittney and I at dinner as well. Yep, two Britt's in one house plus a sister back home named Brittany. A lot of Brits but they are all such a blessing to me!
This is our kitchen at our new house :) I was excited that it was painted red because I've always wanted a red kitchen
Our living room, nothing on the walls yet but we will get there. Those couches are super comfy!
My side of Harmony and I's room :)

This is my new favorite place in Tulsa, the resevoir. There is a 2 and a half mile track that goes around it and it is beautiful. It's great for exercise and some Jesus time!
The field on the other side of the track at the resevoir
Saw this on the track at the resevoir while I was walking. I love when God shows me random hearts :) He loves!
All in all things are going great here, school registration and orientation started this week, so it won't be long and I will be back in the classroom. I am excited to see what God has in store this year, He keeps bringng up the word "amazed" to me. It's time to be amazed by an AMAZING God! Lately I have been struggling with something I have in my heart that has been rejected, I look at it as a box that wants to give, bless and love, but that box has been rejected and I have been asking God what to do with that "box". How can you give, love and bless someone or something that has turned away from it. I guess it kind of mirrors God's love, He gives to, blesses and LOVES even the ones that reject Him. Wow! He is a strong loving God. Anyways God reminded me of something He told me a while back which was "you just love and I will take care of the rest" so that's the plan. As I was unpacking my things I kept finding random prayers in notebooks that I had written and in the last one I found I had thanked God for the call to love. It was a great reminder, we have been called to love period, whether that love be received or rejected we are to give it. And I believe we will reap a blessing if we press on and continue to walk in the call to love, even when its' hard. Last night at Church the message had spoke to me so much. It was about how the steps we take today are going to determine our destination tomorrow. They were reminding us that "direction not intention determines destination". They had brought up how even sometimes we may be taking the right steps and are on the right path but we are not yet seeing the results but to NOT give up because it's just around the corner! What encouragement! During prayer time I had decided to give that "box" of love in my heart to God, I will strive to give, bless and love Him, His name can go on that box. And I felt God tell me "Kayla, I am commited to you, I want you and I will never reject your love for me, but will always welcome it with open arms." I know a lot of the times we need to keep ourselves in check on if we are commited to God which is good but I guess I hadn't really thought of how God is commited to me. As girls I believe we long for commitment and when someone breaks that it really shakes us BUT God has made a commitment with me and He won't walk away from it. That's True Love right there!
Be blessed my friends, and walk in what God has for you today! He promised it to be good!
