I always thought those were so interesting. sorry if you felt like this post is boring. I have ALOT on my heart right now. but im kinna still processing it, so im going to wait before i put it down in words. I came to auburn this past weekend-- it was so amazing to just be back in our community!! it was so good to laugh!!! i really have missed each of you so much. Im headed to encounter tonight (YAY!!) I cant wait to see what the Lord has instore for tonight. He has been working so much in me this week. I'm kind of scared to go simply because all that has to happen is just barely scratch the surface and i lose it- but there is also something so comforting to just be compeletely physically, emtionally overwhelmed and just loosing it and giving it up and then to just sit right at His feet. To let Him hold me in the palm of His hand, tell me its going to be alright. So, I am going to end it here for now. I pray that the Lord is teaching all of you amazing things, and that you will see his pursuit of you. bc wow, when you do-- well it blows me away. God is good- he is so good and so faithful. well, i think thats a pretty good thought to end on :) hope you all are having an awesome week. love yall!!
