| It has been quite a long time since I"ve updated this thingy.
Lots going on. School and started again and I"m such a busy busy
girl!! Working 24 hours a week, school full time, and working at
a counseling center for 15+ hours a week. I am really enjoying
all of these things though. My clients have been a blessing to me
and I'm humbled by the opportunity I have to meet with them.
Theres another important new detail to my life too....his name is Andy
:). Wow, I cannot say enough great things about this guy and I'm
so thankful to have him a part of my life. I"m trying to put in a
picture of us. Basically he's amazing :). He lives in
Columbus, which is far away, BUT...nice because my sister and some of
my best friends are down there. (including angie who just got
engaged!!!!! wooohooo).
Not much else has time to go on between my busy life things. But God continues to bless me throughout them all.

| These last few weeks have just flown by. I feel like I've just been running from one place to the next!! With the fair and coming to Columbus two weeks in a row, things have been crazy. But here I am again in Columbus. I'm staying near the campus area, and its amazing how much I feel like I've been gone forever and not just over a year. Being around Angela's roomates and looking forward to hanging out with my old ones tonight, I realize that sometimes I really miss living with other women. College truly was a very fun part of my life. Although there are parts I do not miss...like the traffic and partying that keeps you up all night. I am really glad to be down here. Last weekend I got to go to my old church, Cypress. It was great to go again and see some of my favorite people, although I did not get to talk to them afterwards. Then I went with my parents to the Govenor's Mansion for Angela's staff party. She works for the Govenor, who by the way is a really nice guy, and I know she really has enjoyed this opportunity. School starts back up again in a little over a week and I can scarcely believe it. I am fearful that I am not read for the challenges and responsibilties of this upcoming year. I am scared that it will be overwhelming. But I guess I need to trust if this is where God wants me He will provide all I need for this experience. | | |
| IF GRACE IS A FREE AND UNMERITED GIFT....WHY THEN ARE WE TOLD THAT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING IN ORDER TO RECEIVE IT?
I'm
interested for insight from anyone. This is something I've been
processing for awhile, so I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

| Summer is in full-blow!! Man I love the beautiful weather and the
chance to soak up the sun beside the pool and enjoy the beautiful
wonderful skirt and flipflop weather. I am so thankful that it is
still only June which means lots more months of this great weather....I
want to enjoy every moment!! I have had a full schedule it seems
like lately with working more hours, classes, and hanging out with
people. I joined the praise team at church too, which has been
really fun and good for me.
The passing of grandma still has me in process-mode. It just
hasnt seem to sink in that she's not going to be around anymore.
I'm not gonna get any more letters from her, be able to visit with her
when I go home, spend Sunday's with her....no holidays...nothing.
I have tried to be strong when around my family and not cry....but its
tearing me up inside and I want to cry, to release my sadness and
disappointment. I just dont want anything to change...dont want
her house sold or anything in it to move or change. Looks like I
will continue to process this for some time....
God has been good though to me throughout my grieving process and He
continues to provide for me in every area of my life. He has
truly given me a peace where I am at in this moment. I am abiding
in His presence and completely filled and satisfied because of His
goodness and provision. What a blessing to be here....
