Change

I don't deal with change well. It usually involves crying and leaving something behind and forging into the unknown ahead. I guess it's the still living in a college town that makes my life seem transitional all the time; with each semester brings something new. The end of this year and this semester brings a lot of change...

"The boys," as I affectionately call my brothers, are so much fun to be around. They look so mischievous in this picture :) Blake joined Trey and I in Auburn this year as a freshman. Our many sibling dates, and random Tuesday run-ins at Big Blue have become a staple in my life. Trey will graduate next week and move into his next phase of life leaving Blake and me behind. I really am mourning this change. I had no idea I would enjoy having us all here together so much. I am thrilled to see what the Lord has in store for Trey as he steps into the "real world."

This past year I have also had the privilege of living with this hot chick! I can't even put into words how much fun we have add, how many tears we have shed (at the same time), and how many delicious meals we have cooked and enjoyed together. The Lord orchestrated our time together so perfectly and I am so sad to see her go. I am thrilled she is moving into another stage of life, I just wish sometimes I could go with her. Liz you are one lucky girl! I told a friend one time, I think you can do anything in life as long as you have a reliable buddy. Courtney is as good as they get... C... come back soon, please don't stay away too long!

More change is just around the corner... I teared up Friday watching a girl move out of Mollie Holli. My student workers are graduating, people who are some of my closest confidants and trusted helpers. Moving out of 526 Samford, but so excited about moving in with Kadie. Closing another bible study with senior girls, and watching them continue the race the Lord has allowed me to join in this past year.

Katherine is so good to remind me, we are not made for change. We are made for an eternity with our heavenly Father who is unchanging. Change is quickly approaching but the Lord is sovereign and has provided thus far all of the blessings above and more. I have no doubt he will continue to provide.

"Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy." Acts 14:17

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever- do not abandon the works of your hands." Psalm 138:8
