God is SO Good

He really is.
I just don't know what else to say.
He's been so good to me over the past few weeks.
I started my second job two weeks ago now,
And it has been a huge blessing.
The people that I work with
Have been a lot of fun to get to know,
And I know the Lord has something to teach me through them.
Keva Juice is still good.
And I'm loving my coworkers. Especially one of them.
I feel like the Lord has particularly
Blessed our friendship thus far.
And I'm really excited to see what He has in store through that as well.
Also, my class started up this past Monday!
Holla! It's going to be a TON of reading over this semester,
But there is so much that I can learn,
And I'm just so excited about all of it!

So, we have gotten a lot of things for our apartment!
Things are all falling into plac!
PraiseGod!
We have couches!
I have a bed! We have a table and chairs!
And our walls have been painted!
It's absolutely incredible!
And all in less than a month!
I can't wait to start hosting people in our home
And welcoming them in the name of the Lord!
I'm so so excited!
I feel like the Lord has been so gracious to me,
And I seriously just can't help but praise Him for it!

Anyway,
My life right now is busy and crazy,
But I wouldn't have it any other way!
I can't wait to see
What the Lord is going to do in my life
Over the next semester of my life.
There's so much that He can do,
And I just hope that He will use me any way that
He sees fit!

He is good!
Blessings

Moving and all that Jazz

So.
Long story short:
I'm tired.
So this is probably going to
be on the short side.
Plus,
the Starbucks
is going to close in
30 minutes.
Meaning I can't
write forever and ever.
Good think for you, because
I have a lot to say.

This past week has been
incredibly busy.
So let me start with the beginning.
Monday started the first of
three nights
that I closed at work.
It was intimidating at first--
there's so much to do!!!
And Wednesday was the first
night that I was at the store
by myself!
Talk about freaked out!!
But, the Lord brought me through it.
I survived.
And I'm pretty sure that I
did everything I was supposed to.
The first part of the week
I was also freaking out
about the apartment
situation.
I was trying to keep it all
together and remember that
the Lord was on the throne and
in control.
But it was hard.
It was a battle that I fought
with every ounce of my being.
But.
Wednesday we found out that
we got the apartment.
And then began the mad
dash to get everything done.
It was incredible.
And the Lord gave me the
strength and energy to do all the preliminary
things, so that we could move in Friday!


So Friday came along.
Rachel came down from VA to
sign the lease and help move in.
Krystal met us at the apartments.
And we signed our lives away for
the next year.
And we began the move-in
process.
Can I just tell you,
I am so thankful for some of my friends.
Specifically two close guy friends
who helped Rach and me pack up our
stuff from the storage unit and
move it to our apartment.
[Colby, Chaston,
I am forever grateful for your
help and the way that you two
were able to fit
EVERYTHING
except for two boxes and a bike
into a mini-van and a bug.
It was incredible to see that happen.
I know Rach and I would have had to
make so many more trips
if it hadn't been for you two.]
Anyway, Rach and I finished the
move from WaFo on
Saturday morning,
and we continued the unpacking process.

Saturday night I went
to a friend's house where a bunch
of single ladies from my church
were hanging out for the night.
It was so much fun to get to know
some more ladies who are
around my age or a little older.
I'm so thankful for my church
and the way the Lord continues
to use it and the people in it
to further my walk with Him.

Truly,
this has been a wonderful,
blessed week/weekend.
The Lord has continually taught me
to rely on Him for all things.
He is good.
He is provider.
And He will continue to show
His goodness to me for the rest of my days.
Even if the clouds show up for seasons of
life and it seems like He's not there,
I still have the confidence and hope that
He is using all situations for my ultimate
good and to grow me more into
the likeness of Christ.
And that's exactly what I want and need.

I can't wait to see what He's going to do next.
Not only in my life,
but in the lives around me.

Blessings.

[P.S.
If you need to get ahold of me...
you had better text/call me.
I don't have internet at my apartment,
so I can't answer any emails
or facebook messages
quickly.
And I don't think that I'll really
be going to a place with internet
more than a couple days a week...
So.
Call me.
Or text me.
If you need me that is.]
