Twenty-Six- Grace

 "Grace, what have you done? Murdered for me on that cross."-Scandal of Grace ~Hillsong United

 In the bible study that I've started going to, we are reading in Romans. We are talking a lot about salvation in Jesus Christ and why we need it. One of the discussion questions was, "Why did Jesus have to die on the cross for us?" I thought it was a strange question because in reality, He did not have to die on the cross for us. He doesn't have to do anything! He is God! He is the King of Kings; there is no one above him! 

 But, He did it anyway. He took our burden even though He did not deserve it in any way. He gave us grace and constantly continues to do so every day. 

 I am thankful for this neverending grace.

28. Thanksgiving

 I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving meal we had tonight! We had a fun time singing karaoke (Yes, I actually did sing), then we went to the cafeteria for a special Thanksgiving meal. It really was something special. Each table had a candle and a pretty tablecloth. There was a turkey as a centerpiece that had sparklers and they went off went we walked in. It was so fancy and fun!  We had turkey, dressing, potato purée, green beans, bread, and apple tart. I also got a bit of traditional Spanish food, including pasta and tortilla de patatas . It wasn't the same as having Thanksgiving at home, but I'm so thankful for all the hard work they put into making us feel at home with this special dinner. It was so sweet!  Me and my friend, Inés!   Kthnxbai!

treinte- La Noche de Luz

 One year ago, I attended a Study Abroad 101 meeting to see what types of programs there are and how to get started.   Eleven months ago, I chose Spain over Costa Rica.   Ten months ago, I chose to come to Toledo instead of Barcelona or Granada.   Six months ago began the summer of earning money from babysitting and camp Winshape for Spain.  Three months ago, I arrived in Toledo and met many other students from Puerto Rico and the United States.   In two weeks, I will be going home. What a bittersweet sentence... I still cannot believe I am here, living in Toledo, Spain, studying literature and eating authentic paella and Spanish tortilla de patatas.  Last night, Álvaro and I went to the church of the Jesuitas. His friend was going to be singing there, so he invited us to come. After getting some delicious croquettes and walking in the rain, we went to the church to see what it was about.   It...

VEINTE- ZUMBA

  After all of my classes for the day, I put on my sports bra, a Bama Wesley t-shirt, my work-out leggings, and my sneakers. Mari walked in from her last class of the day and started getting ready. Once we were both ready, we headed upstairs to dance.  I've been obsessed with Zumba since I was in high school. I went to the YMCA every morning to dance and sweat all summer after my sophomore year. I found an awesome class that was very similar but called "DaZe" at the University of Alabama. Now, we have an incredible instructor, Gabriela, who comes every Wednesday to the foundation so we can sweat and dance together. She really is an awesome instructor. She's got the energy and attitude when she dances. She is so fun and encouraging.  I am thankful for Zumba because it really is a great stress reliever. I get to have fun and pretend like I have sass and that I can dance well. All of my worries and stress disappear because my only worry is if I'm doing the curren...
