I'm a sucker...

For people's stories.

i LOVE to know what makes people tick, how they got where they are today and why they are the way are. i see the lord's creativity so evidently in that. he made us so completely different- we laugh over different things, cry over different things and get excited over different things- yet He loves us all completely the same. He's completely sold out for all of us. it's been on my mind all day. like, really? i can't quite wrap my head around that tonight. because while i love to learn about individuals and what they love, i'm terrible at loving them. and i certainly don't love them all the same and with the same passion each day.

i'm beyond thankful that i serve a creative God who loves deeper than i can comprehend. i need it. thank you, jesus.

23 years.... we're old!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET SARAH!!

here we go :)

so i'm excited! i never thought i would start a blog {those of you who know me know that words are not my thing} but here goes..

the fact that college is over has finally hit. it probably shouldn't have taken 3 months after graduation, but what can i say? as i was packing up my house this weekend, i was flooded with memories from the last four years in college station. how blessed i have been.

from the beginning of college, the Lord placed incredible people in my life and that trend continued throughout my time at A&M. thank you, friends, for blessing my life-- for pouring out your wisdom, laughter, encouragement and love. life in this town is not {and will not be} the same without you. here are a few of my favorite memories..

one of my favorite people ever and i in costa rica! we had a blast and the lord did some sweet things while we were there :)

it was hard to choose 1 picture from the 500ish i have of this night. these girls blessed me immensely..

phi lamb formal freshman year- so fun!!

good times and laughter in the mosher basement!

i'm getting pretty excited about staying college station-- it means sweet time with those of you who are still here and growth in a familiar place-- but coupled with that excitement is nervousness forrr sure.

i worry that loneliness will be my constant companion
i worry that it won't be easy to get plugged into community
i worry that i'll constantly compare it to college
i worry that i'll fail to hear and wholeheartely pursue the lord

but i know without a doubt that the Lord is faithful and will continue to be :) so bring it on.
