While I'm Waiting

Saying goodbye for three months. quick and painful. But for some reason this is the path that God has set me on. So while I'm on this part of the path I am going to attempt to keep this blog semi-updated with what God is teaching me. 

So right now I am on day 1 of Alex being gone for 3 months to Pinecove Christian Camps in Columbus, TX and in two weeks I will move up to Nashville for the summer to work for my internship. In recent time God has shown me how perfectly He plans everything out in our lives. He never ceases to stop loving, caring, and guiding us in His perfect plan that can most beautifully glorify Him. Over just the past few months I have made some wonderful friendships with these women of God who "just happen" to have just gone through a similar long distance experience or are currently going through a long-distance relationship. And let me just say that as a huge worrier and planner, this has just shown me how much I need to rely on God and stop trying to plan out my entire life.


God will meet all your needs. God will fight your battles if you let Him. 


So that's what my prayer is for this summer. To let God fight my battles and for my strength to daily come from Him. He has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams and I am so excited to see what He is going to do in my family's lives, my friend's lives, and Alex's life this summer to draw us all closer to Him, because it will be more beautiful than anything we can imagine. 

My goal of this blog is not to let the few of you who read this know what groceries I just bought or a movie I just saw, but to reflect the lessons that God is trying to get through my thick skull. Sometimes I am a little stubborn so there may be more than one post on a certain subject but I hope that God can use my little blog to glorify His kingdom and use my past pain and experiences and current struggles to help others.
