I love Starkville

Yesterday was my first true tailgating experience. Emilee Taylor and I sat on the sidewalk Friday from 1 to 5 to set our tent up. We really like the spot we got and plan on getting it from here on out.
The tent (which we are still trying to name) was packed with food, friends, and games. We had lots of fun playing Ladder Golf.
The game, however, was a let down. State didn't play good at all. Oh well, nothing new.
I'm excited for the next game. I really like tailgating, especially when I have my own tent.

What has God been teaching you?
I'm seeing now more than ever that I can't lean on my earthly relationships. I see that they don't always last even when so much effort is put into them. I know that my Father is always there. He's always ready to listen, to teach, and to comfort. This week has been kind of rough. I've read the book Captivating a while back. It talks about how God romances us. I truly believe that. I mean, He knows everything about us, including what makes us happy and smile, even the little things. I'm a big fan of nature and skies. So this week God blessed us all with amazing weather. At the game, He placed a full, bright moon in the sky. Things like that and sunsets and butterflies just make me smile and thank God for putting them in my day.
