answers.

I don't always know the right thing to say. Or say anything at all. This week has fully revealed that to me. Without disclosing every detail, I know full well that the people I love are struggling in some way, including myself. We dig for the solutions to our problems and the answers to our complicated questions. Many of us are sick of the phrase "it'll just take time". We become frustrated when God doesn't solve things on our schedule, which is selfish but entirely true. I am experiencing the growing pains of patience. While none of us want to stay in our respective situations, there's a certain beauty hidden in the bitterness.

The sun shone a little brighter today. God is faithful.

home sweet abilene.

Me blogging is a scary concept. As I type this, I'm filtering through mental flashbacks of the 'xanga' days. Thank goodness that phase has come and gone. The purpose of this blog is mostly just to document my travels as I head to England in the spring for Study Abroad, since I usually lack anything newsworthy to publish. All that to say, posts may be few and far between. Bear with me.

The semester officially starts on Monday, but I've been in town all this past week working as a leader for Welcome Week and getting settled in our wonderful new pod in Barret! I cannot stress how ready I am for growth this year. I feel like I would be limiting my potential by setting expectations, so I am just pressing in and getting ready for God to speak through me and reveal my purpose. So let's do this. :]

I think it's bedtime. Thanks for listening.
