Philippians 1:6 "Being CONFIDENT of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus!"
I still don't know what the future holds and am becoming more & more content with where the Lord has me right now. I am just in an unknown transition that leads to a little bit of anxiety! I have found myself kind of in a plateau in my relationship with the Lord...I yearn to want what the Lord wants, and desire to seek his heart and trudge towards the cross, however, this place of uncertainty has been the playground for the punk devil. In this time, I just know I have to be VERY intentional in getting in the word and in prayer. The Lord is in the process of breaking me so that I can become more and more like him and even though it is difficult sometimes the payoff is so worth the run!
As some of you know Mom, Shelby, and I leave tomorrow to road trip to Colorado. Whew. What a trip-three days of driving. Now I am not one for driving too much, especially across the country (I'll be fine if this is my first and last time I do that), but I am excited to spend time with seester and mommy! Shelby is moving to Colorado for 'x' amount of time and I am very excited for her, to see her in her element, a place she loves to be and it is my prayer that she thrives there. That does not make it any easier, I cannot say I am happy to leave her out there. I don't like that my sister will be 2000 miles away but thank goodness for cell phones and text messages. :) That all came real quickly, graduated Friday, packed up and moved out of my apartment Saturday, unpacked and organized, repacked Sunday, and am leaving at 8 am Monday morning. Wow...that is a lot in a short amount of time. I really am excited and am looking forward to lots and LOTS of good time with the girls but it is a little overwhelming!
AHHH, I am a Clemson Alum. Can you believe it? Where did the past four years go? It seems like just yesterday I was moving ALL of my stuff into an itty bitty dorm room in Manning 3B6. Those years flew by but I certainly cherish the memories. To be frank, it really is a weird place of transition. I don't think I will ever have a community like I had at Clemson and with my group of friends because we lived life together, right there. Now, we are all going different places and although we will stay in touch it will just not be the same. Yes, that makes me a little sad but I am overjoyed that I was blessed with such amazing friends at school. Friends that were there for me in the ups and downs, friends to run the race with me, to push me along in my relationship with the Lord, and to hold me accountable. My family was so supportive, except for when the boys wanted to give me a hard time about going to "cow college" and not the REAL university of South Carolina...phoooy on them I say :) And yes, Evan did have the nerve to waltz into my graduation in his Carolina shirt-what was he thinking? Anyhoo, they have always been there for me and I am thankful and have a happy heart that I had the opportunity to go to a wonderful school and that they have ALWAYS and will ALWAYS be there for me!
Thank you for your prayers for Mom, Shelby, and I as we travel this week! Love to all of you and great big hugs! :)
