Yield.

Things I have learned in the past three months:

1. Time management. College will shape you up in that area real quick.

2. Placing a heart in earthly things will leave that heart rusty and thieved.
Wrap it up in the heavenlies, it will be there when this race is finished.

3. Running is the best stress reducer and...
 lifting weights next to guys in the gym will bring sweet humility.

4. Some of your best friends will be named "Shanaynay" and she will be the whitest girl you know.

5. His thoughts and ways are 21,500 light years+ higher than any of our thoughts and ways.

6. Walking by faith, not by sight; the beautiful power of choice.

7. Some of the best conversations come through night trips to Chicago,
Texas & Canadian Skype dates and country fields.

8. Fruits and veggies may be the best diet ever.

9. Seeing 3-month-old babies, young mommas and a daddy-less generation grows an
ache to love on kiddos of my own.

10. CRAZY, WILD opportunities to go make losing heart look way less appealing.

11. Being thankful is the most precious gift I can give myself.

12. More recently, yielding. Yield literally means 'to give up or surrender' or 'resign'.
After going, going, going on your own, yield is sweet word to my soul.
Throwing my hands in the air.
Resigning to my own life.
Taking my face to the ground.
Slumping over on my knees.
Breathing.
Yielding.
My best prayer has been: I'm spent. It's all you, Lord.
His best response has been (& is always): Good. I'm glad to take over.
It's funny because the verb meaning of 'yield' is 'to produce or give forth'.
When His work is completed in me, He says your turn.
Go.
With an endurance I have produced.
Provide.
With a vigor only I can give.

The harvest is full, mi hija. 

Psalm 126:6 says, "Those who go out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of you,
carrying their sheaves."
(I love You, Papa)
