{I gotta feelin'}

You know that feeling that you get in your stomach when something big is happening in your life? I can actually say that I have had that feeling all week so far...and it is exhausting! (In a good way) This week bring a lot of change for me- being accepted to Seminary, training once again (finally), registering for classes without an advisor to literally walk me through, buying my textbooks, and so much more.

There is a smile on my face, that is for certain. There is also a pit in my stomach...a pit of uncertainty, of "is this really happening???"

I can laugh about it and then move on...scripture tells me-

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:6

Yes, I can rest in this...

I'm just saying...my mind is on overload! haha 

Lord, my goodness, my emotions are like a bouncy ball in a room with nothing in it but walls. I am on my knees in adoration of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for choosing me to be yours and igniting a passion within my heart to serve you in a mighty way. I pray so desperately that YOU be glorified!

{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!
