Already April...

I really should get better about doing more frequent updates. It's funny how things slip away from you. I can have certain things be so routine to my day...good hygiene, reading, journaling, homework.... but blogging? Not as much!

Sometimes it is hard to think of something that has been entertaining or pressing enough to write down.

Darling Emily goes to Western Washington University, and this weekend I spent a day and night with her in Bellingham. Gosh what a beautiful city.I absolutely love it up there. Ocean breeze blows in (sometimes too hard) and this weekend, the sun was out. Definitely a gift!

It's crazy when you think about places.

There was so much of a possibility of me going to Western. But I chose not to. I chose to go onto a new place, even more new and unknown. Imagine if I would not have. There are so many people that you meet in each place, that change your life forever. Everyone is so intricately planted in my life. Sometimes it is hard to grapple with God's goodness and his plan! It's such an amazing thing....

My place right now is to shine. Wherever I am supposed to be physically, that's another opportunity given to me to shine a constant light of joy and helpfulness. I know I have big plans for my life, even for the RIGHT now. Whenever I feel anxious, I try to remember where I'm headed. Wait... I don't know where I'm headed! And that's okay. Wherever it is it will be a step in trust and an exciting journey. No one can deny THAT.



This verse really stuck out for me today.


I love to reflect on those that have made a substantial difference in my life.

Over the next month, I will feature someone at the end of my blog who has made a huge difference in my life. I won't put them in any specific order, everyone will get a chance!

Meet Megan Talbot Waldron! Megan is beautiful, talented, and absolutely gifted with grace. She is freshly nineteen, and that's kind of why I decided to start with her.Megan and I met three years ago through some mutual friends. It amazes me how so much wisdom and strength comes from someone who is only nineteen. Megan has always been a rock in my hectic life. I know that if I have struggles, I need prayer, or just someone to giggle with... Meggie is a great friend to call!
She an I have a very similar sense of humor. When we hang out, it usually involved hole-in-the-wall Seattle food joints, a delicious cup of coffee, and or her camera. I was so privileged this year to show her Chico and to have her come and play in the sunshine with me and all of my friends. I am so pleased her and I have stayed in touch, and that we have gotten closer over the last few months. She is someone who I really admire and I love her spunk and passion. Meg, you have made such an impact in my life! Thank you for being you...
