As I sit here in my new room reflecting on my new job, it is crazy to think how much has happened in the past week.
Last Thursday feels like another world.
I woke up bright and early with my best friends to go see a beautiful sunrise near Greenville, SC. It's one of those experiences where God giggles and makes sure I can not deny His creation. It was an amazing time that helped me focus my heart and be still in His presence.
It reminded me of Psalm 23 when it says "He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul." Restoration is such a powerful word and it's cool how Jesus is truly the only one that can make that happen. Its these captivating moments in life that are grounding and pull me back towards my creater.
Later that night, I was fortunate enough to give my last talk at Wyldlife club. (The picture below are the coolest leaders I've ever met in my life: Glenview and McCants Wyldlife Leaders.) The energy was incredible, and I am pretty sure it was the largest club Wyldlife has had in a long time with 50 beautiful middle school faces. I've never been one to talk about the holy spirit. It's one of those things that I find unsettling, and just an idea that I can barely scratch the surface to understand. However, I can tell you this much. The holy spirit was clearly there, and it was/is awesome.
Somehow in college I've managed to be placed on the coolest Wyldlife team, ever. (They are beautiful inside and out!) I'm am so blessed to get to do all these crazy things with these people, especially ministry. My last ho-rah with them was at Windy Gap in North Carolina where we took our friends to camp. Windy Gap was a life changer. Hearts were changed and friendships were grown. I am beyond excited to hear what happens in the months to follow.
To leave these middle school friends in South Carolina was like leaving a part of me behind. Experiencing our terribly awkward conversations develop into true friendships was remarkable, and I am so thankful. I have learned so much from these girls and love them more than they will probably know.

And that puts me here. 8 hours north, all settled into my new house, and 1 day into my first job. (They even gave me branded folders to use on the first day, I was impressed!)Overwhelmed, nervous, excited, and anxious all wrapped into one.
Essentially, its crazy to think all that has happened in the past week. A whirlwind. But what is amazing is Jesus calms the storm and reminds me that my stability needs to lie in Him. He is the one thing that never falters or changes. How can I worry when God says "
I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. " (Jeremiah 29:11) I mean, who can argue against that?
Ladies and Gents- one corporate day down. A million (Lord willing!) more to go.
