i know, i know...

It's been about a year since I've posted. For the three of you that read this, i apologize for the time you have wasted checking my blog just to see the same, lame old post. basically, summer came and my life got crazy. If your starting to feel sorry for me because my life is busy you can quit because its been crazy with fun.


But first things first...

Tomorrow I leave for the wedding of one of my most favorite couples ever!! Luke and Ashley are getting married this Saturday and I am so excited about it.

As far as brothers go...

I have the best ones. My brothers are amazing. Even though they are both younger than me you would never be able to tell by the way they take care of me, look out for me and are just sweet to me.

Luke has become such an great young man and it has been such a treat to be his sister. He is so fun to be around, is not afraid of adventure and simply enjoys life.

And Ashley,

I mean, I didn't know sister-in-laws could be this cool. She is fun, sweet and wonderful and I am so excited and blessed to soon be calling her an official sister. Since I was a little girl I always wanted a sister and to be getting not just a sister but Ashley is such a cherry on top.

So I am thrilled to be headed to Arkansas to watch one of my two favorite brothers and my Ashley get married. Family is coming in from all over and good friends are also making the long trip and it going to be a fun-filled wonderful celebration of a weekend.

So, as of late...

It has been a very interesting season of life. In the same month my car was totaled (everyone is safe and no one was hurt, also I wasn't even in the car) and my parents decided they are moving. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if I wasn't currently living with them. I was planning on moving out anyway but now they have a contract on their house and I have to be out by the end of the month.

No worries.

I have a plan...ish.

Because my insurance people are amazing I already have a new car and am apartment shopping with two girls from school so hopefully soon I will be in a new place.

It seems simple when I blog it but it has felt like more. Maybe I have just been over-dramatic lately. Maybe there is more that I am forgetting about, I know there is more that I just don't have the courage to release to the blog world.

This summer has been a time of what I like to call, "My life up in the air." There is plenty to be

worked out and several areas where I believe the Lord is calling me to take some risk. I really like adventure and gray areas so usually I am down for that sort of thing. However, there are a few specific areas that I am not so keen on jumping out without being able to see the floor beneath me. Thankfully, Jesus continues to remind me that He is worthy of being trusted. He is good and everything He does is good and I can run to Him and find rest for my soul. I am overwhelmed with His promises of peace. It has been a sweet time of Him reminding me, me listening and by His mercy, stepping forward.

In all this going on the Lord is being really present with me. I will be honest, there are times in my life when I look around at other believers and it seems that they don't struggle. Maybe not that they don't struggle but they never seem to be without the Lords presence or confused by the Lord or wondering what on earth they are doing. And basically these are things I think and feel a lot of the time. Lately, it has been different. The Word is speaking to me instead of just being words on a page and the presence of the Lord is piercing my heart and making my love for Him pour out onto the floor and everywhere around me instead of seeming a thousand miles away.

I pretty much love it.

Anyway, sorry I took so long. I will try to do better in the future.
