Monday

Super busy day...

Majority of my morning was spent on the phone, all good news and encouraging conversations. Met a pretty awesome woman of God for coffee, again super encouraging. The one thing I had on my heart to talk her about, was the only thing she was interested in talking about...and I didn't even tell her what that was. I didn't even have to bring it up...God totally took care of it. Very much a relief.

My afternoon was spent job hunting...how exhausting? When it comes to finding a job I've had it pretty easy. Every single job I've ever had I was pretty much handed, got right on the spot. Yea, I know..I'm just that awesome. Today didn't go exactly that way...but I did get a good lead. Waiting to see how it plays out. Going to hit the field again tomorrow.

Possibly might be taking a mini road trip to Milkwaukee next weekend to see Anberlin and a pretty awesome girl named Kristin...oh and her vincent boyfriend : ) All I can say about the trip, if it all works out on her end, is trust is a beautiful thing. 6 months ago if I would of asked my parents to do something like this they would of laughed...it would of never happened. But when I asked tonight they didn't even have to 'think about it'...I got a yes almost immediately, after the whole car safety talk of course! I wasn't even scared to ask because I knew that exactly what I was telling them I was doing was what I was going to be doing. There was no pressure, no sneaking around...there really is freedom in that. I can't tell you how good it feels to be trusted. Trust is something I don't ever want to take from granted again...it is a hard thing to regain once lost.

I knew without a doubt coming home from Mercy that I was a changed person. But I knew my loved ones weren't exactly convinced because they didn't have the joy of watching me 'walk it out'. God has gone above and beyond to bring restoration to all the relationships most important to me. I had the opportunity this morning to sit back and reflect and all that He has done for me just in the last 3 weeks...everywhere I look I can see His hand. The same God I experienced and fell in love with at Mercy came home with me.

I'm in love with my Maker...head over heals in love. I've never experienced a love like this and I'm told it gets better. Even with all the uncertainties I'm facing, I'm ok because even though I don't know what the days ahead of me hold...I know the one who writes my days, and I'm secure in the palm of His hand.

Good stuff.
