Today is Sunday. Since Wednesday night at 6:30 pm, like 4
days ago Wednesday, I have…
-flown to Denver and back, CO for a PA school interview
-spent a total of 10 hours in Greensboro from Thursday night
to Friday morning
-drove to Atlanta, GA for a music festival
-drove back to Gboro through the night last night so I could
be here for church this morning
-was finally reunited with the other Fellows at Church of
the Redeemer this morning
- and now I should be preparing for the youth group that I
am leading tonight
… the thing is, this type of schedule is not unusual for me.
I love just up and going places, and to be honest I have a hard time staying
still for very long. Along with that, it is hard for me to want to invest in
people or places that I see as temporary.
But what was unusual about the past few days, was when I was
gone from the other Fellows… I legitimately missed them. I had a desire to be
reunited with them and share about what was going on in my life. This strikes
me as odd since I have only known these people for 2 weeks, but it is also
crazy awesome because I can feel the Lord knitting us together in our
relationships with each other. I am touched and surprised by the connection
that I have already established with the other Fellows, and it creates a new
excitement in what lies ahead of us this year.

I am going to close with a prayer:
Thank you Lord for giving me these dear friends and
supporters to walk through this year with me. Thank you that your plans are
always greater than my own and that I cannot upset your plans. Thank you for
grounding me in yourself and blessing me with people that help me dig deeper
into who you are so that I can become the woman that you have designed me to
be. I love you and I am thankful for all the many unexpected and undeserved blessings
that you pour out on me daily. Amen.
Love yall, thanks for your prayers
Yes, I am commenting on every. single. blog post. Sorry about it. You and I are alike in so many ways - one of which being the desire to "go go go" all the time. The Lord's been teaching me about slowing down recently and what it means to actually treasure rest and the seasons that aren't super fast paced. And it is SO hard. But it's good, too. Lastly, I want to hear about some more of these things in detail - like the interview and such. I'm so glad God's blessed you with good close friendships for this year. That is such a gift. Call me soon please :)
