I Breathe You In

I Breathe You In, God - Katie Torwalt

I heard this song for the first time today as I was reading and had to stop to take note of what song it was. When I left Virginia in August I knew I was going home for several practical reasons but not fully understanding what the future months would hold. So of course I get home and start looking for a job. If you've been following along with this blog or if I have talked with you in person about the past 6 almost 7 months, you know that I have been learning little by little the true reasons for my being home during these past months. Of course I am looking for a job, but I am also growing in my relationships with my family members. I am trying to form healthy habits like spending every morning with the Lord. I am conquering personal hurdles and hinderances to my own growth as a woman. (that's actually really weird for me to write because a lot of times I still feel like I don't fit the womanly high heels yet...figuratively speaking of course). 

So although I am continually seeing the meaning and purpose behind these months I am still left with not understanding. It's one of those times where you have to leave the season you are in and step into a new one to fully look back and see what in the world was going on. I love looking back on the things I learned and how I grew and what the Lord has done during a certain season of my life, but it's always hard to see where things are going till you get there. Yay faith!! 

I'm pretty content with knowing that I don't know, that I don't have any understanding of what will come next, but even in saying that, I am doing my best to seek Him and His plans and to know His will. I could try to guess what's coming but God will probably surprise me. He has already surprised me with so many beautiful things: reuniting me with old friends, becoming friends with my sister, growing closer with my momma, being able to spend quality time with my dad, being a bridesmaid in two of my best friend's weddings, planning a very dear Virginia friends wedding and spending time with many of my dearest friends out in the 757, a random trip to Florida for spring break, growing my relationships with friends who are off an married (this is a HUGE thing!! most girl-friends disappear after they get married - you know I'm right) haha. Anyway, lots of things! Beautiful things! Unknown things that came to be. 

Just a little word vomit for you concerning a song that grabbed my attention today. I have pictures and words coming soon from my random last minute trip out to Florida!!! Check in later!!

// February Adventures

Back in February I had a visitor from the big apple make her way to see me in little ol' Texas. One of my dearest friends, Juliette, flew down and spent 8 days with me. The original plan was to have her come down and spend 5 days, two of those days would have been days she would be traveling her and back. Well mother nature, and mr. frost had different ideas and I am so glad that they did. For an entire 8 days I had the pleasure of her company. By the end of her time here it felt like she lived in the guest bedroom. Every morning we woke up and ate the cinnamon rolls that I had made from scratch. Every day was a new adventure. We galavanted around Austin, San Antonio, and the area where I live. We ate too many sweets and partook in watching many movies. We had long talks and just simply enjoyed being with each other. It was so refreshing to talk with her about life and love and all things girly because we are in very similar seasons. So I wanted to share some photos from our adventures here as a tribute to the wonderful memories we made. Her trip out here meant the world to me, one of my major love languages is quality time and Lord only knows how much I needed that time spent with her. God is so good for providing the opportunity for us both.
