אמון

The above title is hebrew for Trust. This is something I have had on my heart and mind lately. There are some things that my heart is set on as of current that I need to let go and trust that they are in good hands. It's hard when the heart is deeply involved. We want what we think is best or we struggle to determine what is best because the heart wants one thing and the mind contradicts. Reality is... I don't know what is best. I will admit to knowing the foundation but not knowing the mix that comes next. I don't even know if anything I am writing right now makes sense... so as you try to process what you are reading, know that I am processing as I type. haha. 

A lot is changing around me. A lot is changing at Regent. I'm thinking back now on the past two semesters and all the things that happened this year... kinda crazy to think about now. So if there's major changes happening now... imagine what is to come this year.

I definitely have been hungering for time with the Lord recently. I've been longing for a quiet place to meet with Him. To meet him in my every day schedule. Today I pushed myself to be extra cheerful and you know what? It made me happy. It made this day so much more meaningful. Not saying that every other day I have moped around and been unhappy spreading the funk... it's just that I wanted to try and experience even more of His joy and spread it to those who I encountered today. Fun stuff. 

In other news: 

I am on an outdoors kick! Hiking, camping, kayaking, road-trips. Give it to me! ALL OF IT! I haven't kayaked yet or camped but I am so game for all of it. I hiked with Courtney yesterday 2 hours in First Landing State Park. I don't have hiking gear... I want to fix this. I called my grandfather last night to let him know that I need hiking boots... waterproof. He was happy to help. Love that my family owns a shoe and sporting goods business. Tomorrow I am going to the Great Dismal Swamp with Lum & Ashley Fielden! Whoo! Hiking! So excited! 

That's about it for now. Toodles!
