Georgia Heat and Gully Washers

It has been almost three weeks since I have moved down to Georgia and a lot has been going on in my life. I have only just started to unpack, partly because of procrastination and partly because I felt unsettled in my heart. I unpacked a few of my boxes the other day and it was almost therapeutic. We've put up some new curtains in the house and done a little cooking in our kitchen- it's these little things have gotten me so excited for October 18th when I marry David and move into our house with him.

I've also got wedding plans on my plate. It's amazing how quickly everything piles up. Detail after detail bombards me and while I am trying to enjoy all the planning, I wish there was an easy button.

And then there's my three online classes. Two words as of week two of them: not fun.

But the Lord is teaching me some things. One is the importance of just knowing Him. It would be impossible for me to know myself if I didn't know the Lord. Another thing I have been learning is a renewed sense of trust- there are so many reasons why I need to trust the Lord right now! I need to trust that I will settle in just fine with time. I need to trust that this long engagement is for a reason. I need to trust that even though times are getting hard and the economy is not exactly "pastor friendly" that God will provide.

I am so blessed to finally be here with David. I am so excited about this adventure that I am on!!!

In His Mercy.
