sixteen days.

sixteen days has felt like a very long time and also a very short time. in sixteen days you can end up with:

four holes in your mouth (which also means drysocket, and ouch)
a whole new semester of seventeen credits.
happy days and sad days
dreams about the days beforesixteendays.
a new understanding of God.

which, obviously, that last part is the only important thing. God is enough and will be enough for hundreds of thousands of days. there is more joy to be found in waiting on the Lord than anything else in my life. i came in bitter, and i am being refined and taught that i have all the time in the world. God's plan for my life is absolutely perfect and i am blessed in the next fifteen days and all of my days.
