Friendsick

I miss these girls more than words can say. There is nothing that compares to the friendships you make in college.

My New Obsession

This is the best show on Netflix. I don't know how it has taken me this long to know how great this is. But guys, it's fantastic. It has everything a good tv show should have. I am officially addicted and you should be too. So we can talk about it together. Specifically Tim Riggins.

The End

She'd Take Colorado If He Take Her With Him

Guys! GUUUYYYSS!! Tomorrow I am flying to COLORADO to do two amazingly awesome things. Thing number 1 is to see my brother and his family, including my new one month old niece!! And of course my other two adorable and hilarious nieces. I just can't wait to be T-Rae for two days straight!

Then thing numero  dos is MY BEST FRIEND LISA FURY IS GETTING MARRIED! I know, right? It's crazy and exciting and crazy exciting. I expect many a tear to fall from these green eyes. I just can't believe she is getting married (I mean, I can. She's gorgeous and fun and wonderful, who wouldn't want to marry her?!) I am beyond happy for her and Lane.

There is this one thing that is not so awesome. See Lisa is getting married in Durango, my brother lives about 2 and a half hours north of that. I am flying into durango and then driving to my brothers house, then driving back to Durango for the wedding then staying the night and flying out the next morning. Now, that doesn't seem like such a big deal right? A 2 1/2 hour drive? NBD Keisha, why are you freaking out? Welll..this drive is apparently one of the most stressful drives ever, in the history of driving places. It's through the mountains and it's 2 lane and has about as many curves as Beyonce. And we all know girl has got some cuurrves. But seriously, it's ridiculously windy and curvy and scary and all of this is happening with a large drop off on one side. I am having a panic attack just thinking about it. BUT, I will be fine, I know I will. If you happen to think about it tomorrow (Thursday) at say between 1 and 4 you could say a quick prayer for me and my safety as I make that drive. Please and thank you. You could also say a quick prayer for Steve so he doesn't have a boyfriend panic attack the size of Jupiter :)

Ok, that's all for now.

Can't wait to tell you all about it when I get back!!

Words My Soul Needed To Hear

Be still, my soul. The Lord is on thy side.
Trust My warmth, Beloved.
That word seems to sting a bit now, but I Am speaking that truth into you like before,
and yet, like never before.

Trust Me.
I do see you.
I hear your heart
the desires
the questions
the confusion
the crying out
the passions
the brokenness

Trust for My discernment.

Trust that I Am.

Trust that I Am
Here
Aching with you
Fighting over you
Dreaming in you
Putting things in place you have yet to imagine
Quieting your soul with My singing (Zephaniah 3:17)
Can you hear it?
In this breeze
In the sound of life all around
In the warmth
the waves
In the endless thoughts
your heart-cry
your deep desires beginning to rise to the surface
in this thing stirring within which you are just beginning to sense

I Am here
Breathing rest
Breathing life
even in this
Calling forth my plan for youeven in this

Oh my Beloved,
I have a great plan for you
You can sense it
You know all of these things are not simply chance
this exact place
these exact emotions
this very deepening
none of it is an accident
I have been here all along.
I Am here all along.

Rest in Me
in My dreams for you
My plans for you
My life for you
My hope for you

Trust
that I will give you discernment
to be at peace with this
to move in the wave of My Spirit

Rest in Me, My child
You are My Beloved, and My desires are for you (Song of Songs 7:10)

Relax and Rest

A reminder.

You know those days when all of a sudden you are super inspired to do all of the things you always say you are going to do. To get done EVERYTHING you can think of that you have EVER wanted to do. And then you start to get a little overwhelmed and instead of making a plan to take it one step at a time you want to just forget all of it?

That's where I am. But instead of forgetting all of it, instead of staying where I've always been, I will take one step. I will do one thing at a time, I will not look back a year from now and see that I never made one change. I hope.

OOOOklahoma

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

Tomorrow me and Steve are loading up and heading to Oklahoma at the ungodly hour of 6 a.m.But I don't even care because I am so excited about going home! It's been since September and I have really needed a trip home. And it will be even better with Steve coming along. He's met my parents but just once and we had only been dating a week and there were lots of other people there and things going on so they didn't really get a chance to get to know him. My mom text me the list of all the things they want to do when we are there. It's a lot and I dunno if we are gonna fit it all in but I do know that it is going to be one fun weekend. I also get to see two of my best best friends from college. My best friend Lisa and I haven't seen each other since graduation and let me tell you that should be a crime. I am pretty sure that when I see them I will uncharacteristically squeal and hug them both for 5 minutes. There is just something about the friendships you make in college. Nothing compares.  Ah I just can't wait! Tomorrow needs to hurry up and get here! All I have to do is make it through 2 and a half more hours of work, eat dinner, figure out what I am going to wear in the car tomorrow, pop a sleeping aid and crawl into bed.
Amen
