Hey Friends! Happy Thursday! Here we are at the airport waiting to fly to Boston, MA for my sweet cousin Annie’s wedding. Sort of feels like I’m going to another country since I’ve basically been glued to the Midwest most of my life. We’ll see what this east coast business is all about!
Here’s how I feel about airplanes:
1. It is to me the most unatural human experience EVER! I mean we are sitting in chairs in the sky THATS weird.
2. It’s like a life or death experience… Although Nick keeps telling me that I’m more likely to crash in a car than a plane. I’m encouraged to have the hope of heaven… To believe that death secure in Christ is only gain… Thanks apostle Paul!
3. Yeah I cried on my first plane ride. I’ve moved past the crying and I’m facing my fear! Wow I’m such a risky person can’t u tell? 
4. Aaas yes. The people watching. The chance to observe mankind… I feel like airports give you a glimpse into so many different backgrounds… Cool yo.
5. Fighting to be eternally minded and to see His purposes in each moment… And wondering what kind of conversatons I will have on the plane… always an interesting place to get to know someone! I have to fight not to be introverted and individual… Oh and the fact that a little boy just ran into me and my luggage is helping! Haha! I need more distractions like that!
Well, like I said above… We’ll see what this east coast business is all about!
Peace!
This has been my resting place as of late. God pours His light through this window, and I have been spending time processing through a lot of things journaling and reading here. I am thankful for a season to rest and feed on His Word.
I have spent almost ever free moment I have in this musical corner pouring out my heart to the Lord in song. His grace and pursuit of my heart has overwhelmed me with the reality of Jesus. Writing and recording is my rather introverted way of trying to be extraverted about how AMAZING Jesus is!
Our kindergarteners at Hope Academy graduated! Praise the Lord for these blessed children of the city.
Nick surprised me randomly with this binder filled with worship song guitar tabs and lyrics. He spent weeks copying hundreds of songs from our church and compiling them into this huge purple thing! He is so thoughtful, and I am so thankful God gave me this husband!
We spent a day in Stillwater, a quaint riverside town in MN
Nick and I have had to forgive each other more than we ever thought we'd have to in these past few months. It is sweet seeing God's grace change us and redeem our marriage again and again. After our sin being revealed so transparently and vulnerably, its amazing I still love Him, and He still loves me! Only through knowing a merciful God is this possible. Thank you, Jesus.
I am a now a hair-stylist! This was so fun. I did my cousin Hannah's hair for her prom! I love this girl 
My first "boy" hair-cut! Yes, I cut Nick's hair for the first time. Downside: Our floor was really hairy You like? I think he's pretty cute if you ask me.
I am all over the place. Somehow we were watching a movie and now I am just on the computer with a dilemma. I can’t sleep. It was the last day of school today. Everything feels like a blurr. Although kindergarten has come to an end, something new is beginning. One season has ended and another has begun. All in one day. All since 5pm. I have exited one season of my life… and so quickly its the next. I cannot put into words all of the changes I’ve been through this year. Tonight its just hanging over my head.. the need to process. The need to be with God. The need to rest.
Tonight, I am thankful that God so gently welcomes the weakest things in me. The deepest fears, the worst of my worst behaviors, all my sinful thoughts and actions he already knows and welcomes with unfading patience. I am so thankful for this God who is with me. Who has promised me so many things. Who knows me, understands me, and loves me.
Tonight I am thankful that God is faithful to continue putting His hand in my life and that He is big enough to handle me no matter how near or far I am to Him. I am so thankful He wants to give me good gifts and freedom from the dominion of sin. Oh, how I cannot wait to taste more freedom from things I am stuck in bondage to in my life!
I want to taste God’s love for me and His pursuit of my heart more richly than I ever have before. May this next season be full of understanding this more deeply.
Yes, random thoughts, I know. But that’s what I got on my mind…
G’nite.
Wishing everyone peace, love, and rest.
