ramblings from my heart and mind

{On a constant journey with the Lord-striving to glorify him with everything I am-love others the way Christ has and continues to love me-determined to be the best daughter, friend, mentor, and individual I can be}

{At times I laugh}

At times I laugh, 
At times I cry, 
At times I wonder why...

This time was a duel, 
I almost felt like a fool, 
until the peace came I felt like a mule. 

The confusion set in, 
quick doubts ran rampant,
then the peace settled in. 

When the peace came in, 
The smile of a perm-a-grin, 
I was able to breathe and take it in. 
Thankful- eucharisto 

Yesterday, was a day I will remember. It is marked on my thankful wall and written on my facebook wall. (Ok enough with the rhyming). Yesterday, around 10am I was accepted into the Master's program of Women's Leadership with a Minor in Biblical Counseling  at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for the start of the fall semester. If you would have asked me a year ago what I was going to do, I would have gotten pretty frustrated with you and probably told you that I was going to go into Physician Assistant program around this area.

It couldn't be more different than that, and I could not be more excited about this chapter. Yes, it is going to be difficult, it is going to stretch me to incredible limits, it is going to change me as an individual in all areas, and the best thing is that however long this takes me to complete- I get to spend this time being extremely intentional learning about my God in a way I have not been able to before! When knowledge and wisdom increase, intimacy increases-therefore, I get to fall more in love with my Savior.

My goodness, my trust is in the Lord. I need His strength, peace, and mercy...and His affirmation alone.  Wow, God!

I am ready, I am saying yes, I am going, stepping and not stopping!
