& I'm home!

Our time in Antigua was so wonderful! 

More snaps & stories to come, but for now I will 

enjoy a cup of coffee & crochet my little heart out

as I process through our time there.

& I'm back

What a fun season this has been. 

I moved to NC last fall for an amazing job that I love, which I have said before. But I feel like it has been awhile & a little update never hurt anyone. 

right? right. 

I spent Christmas in India, a place that captured my heart nearly 10 years ago. Except this time, I had the opportunity to bring 19 others with me and see their lives forever changed too. More recently, I went to South America & was able to visit Brazil with a few friends for the first time. It was one of those life changing weeks as well and I don't say that lightly. 

Can you ever max out on those kinds of moments? I sure hope not. 

This season has also been full of adventures, near and far, with some harder moments in there too. Establishing a new community takes time and I have been reminded of that often.  

You have to invest & be patient. Not longing for what you left, but encouraged in what you are gaining. 

Easier said than done for sure.

But the Lord really is so sweet to me. And my joy comes from resting in that & knowing how much he cares for me. 

"And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you,even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" - Matt. 6:29-30

sweet summa' time

How is it almost July? I feel like the summer months are flying by!

Catching up with old friends.
Boiling Springs, NC

But to defend myself, yet again, in my absence from the blog I must say things have been busy. Really busy. Since May, I have spent most weekends away from our sweet little apartment. I spent one weekend away with friends on a canoe-camping trip. I went to North Carolina three different times (crazy, I know)  and then home to see my family once too. Meaning, I spent plenty of time in the car developing my solo dancing career. Keep a look out. 

And to think, that was nothing compared to what July has in store. Why you ask? Well, because in July I am moving south. The real south. I am going to start working full time with for an organization that I love and have been a part of for many years. I really can’t believe it…but more on that later. For now, I am consumed in this end of the transition. Packing, planning, processing, ect. It pretty crazy to think I won’t be back in Lynchburg, and will probably never live in community with many of the people I love here again. I know, what a sad, sappy perspective. But I have been beyond blessed with the friendships I made in & post college and its okay to know that I will miss it (and them) very much.

Lynchburg, Va 

But this transition is good, and right and exciting. So here is to enjoying everything Lynchburg has to offer over these next few weeks and making sure to take snaps of all my favorite places. That way, I can compile something to put on my (new) coffee table (in NC) and tell people stories.

Fun stories.
