…the beauty of seeing things through…

So what the heck, my roommate is getting married!! This is FANTASTIC because I am the maid of honor, she calls me her MoH. Which I think is cute. Already we have scoured the Buffalo area for a wedding gown, considering we only have six months to get this wedding planned! I am so excited about this and it really couldn’t be a more perfect time. She told me sunday night she was engaged, I got the text while I was sitting in service at the Tab and I immediately had to rush out to call her and clarify, actually I just replied twice with shut up first because I didn’t believe her, AND I was in the middle of some sweet time with the Lord. But then I totally got distracted so I needed to call her.
So yeah, its so exciting, I am LOVING all this time I get to spend with my roommate considering we never see each other, now we have to! haha.
So what else….
Jason Upton Event was pretty sweet. I loved the fact that by the end of it he and I were bff’s haha. Not really, but he’s super cool, I enjoyed serving in that capacity, granted I will not do that again for a very long time because I was SO burnt out afterward, it took me a good week to recoup and get back into the swing of things. Only to be shocked at previously mentioned engagement. So I think my life may be somewhat abnormal for the next six months. So Brother’s wedding is August 1st, Roommate’s wedding is Oct 23rd. This also means I have to find a new roommate! This is sad and exciting all at the same time because I have a few ideas of whom I would like to live with, but its up to them if they want to live with me. And its sad that roommate and I are parting, moving in together last July I imagined we’d be living together for years. Who knew?!?!?! (besides Jesus) But we’re both kind of heading in different directions anyway, so this is good. I am excited to see what happens!!!
Seriously though, I can’t imagine this is my life right now. The things that are taking place, the things I am learning, the woman I am becoming, really God? I am so undone by His love and affection over my life and that He sees everything I have denied, everything I have left behind, and everything I have sacrificed for the sake of the Kingdom of God, and for a deep intimate relationship with Him. I am not who I thought I was, I am so much better!!! This is good news for my heart. To know I am exactly who I was created to be, and I’m doing exactly what I am suppose to be doing. I can’t even begin to describe how much freedom I have and how much love I feel from the Father, His delight is in ME!

So I’m turning 27 tomorrow…nothing really special going on. I think I’m going to the Concert of Prayer at UB – Relevant is playing and I haven’t really worshipped with them in a really long time. Plus it was cool last year. Saturday I’m having dinner at Empire Grille with a small group of people that love me. Sunday I am going out to brunch with the family after church. My mom is turning 57, but she doesn’t look a day past 40! (seriously, she looks good.) So that’s about it.

….my heart is set on pilgrimage….
