John 10:10
School. Easter. Friends. Homework. Tears. These words are the sum of what my life has been this past week. School is still kicking my butt, but it will be over in a week ( PTL!) Easter was amazing. This was the first Easter that I was away from my family. It was definitely a learning experience, because I was around a different family that had different traditions, but it was still a blast. Yes, I missed my family, and I missed my dad's sermon at church, but seeing the Brewton's share this holiday as a family, and opening their home to all of the college students that didn't get to go home, was definitely a humbling experience. I was so thankful for their generosity. Monday came around and some horrible news was given. Natalie Paige Erwin found out that she has Leukemia. I have been struggling all week! The Lord is already being glorified through this situation, but it is still very hard. I keep thinking about her and her innocent little mind, probably now knowing what to think. And I think about her family, what is going through their minds? I just cannot even fathom. Thankfully, I will be going home in a few hours. My best friend, Bethany, is getting married this weekend and I am a bridesmaid in the wedding. It is going to be such an awesome experience getting to see the Lord ordain the relationship that Bethany and Kenny share. Her and I have been waiting for this day for her for a LONG time. The Lord's timing is perfect, and I am so thankful that I get to go home. Yes, I am excited for Bethany and that she is starting a new chapter in her life, but I am also very excited to just spend some good quality time with my family.
The enemy has really tried everything in his power to try to break me down emotionally this week, and I know that through the Lord, I have LIFE. I need some good time with my family, just soaking in what the Lord has so graciously given me.
I am off to the airport. I will write again soon.
