[Nashville, Coffee, Family]

As I sit here and drink my coffee… Yes, at 10 o'clock at night, I am seriously just loving the peace. God is SO good to me! 

I literally just finished a conversation with one of my favorite Jesus lovers on the planet, Joe (that's not his real name, but you'll deal) about how crazy amazing God is. He loves us when we don't deserve it right? Even my amazing best friend, Sierra sent me something perfect today-

Hebrews 6:18-20 "God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It entered the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." 

Lately, I have been thinking A LOT about my future… mainly my future for the summer… If we are being honest and selfish here ;). All I can think about consists of which job should I choose if I get the ones I'm applying for, does God want this for me? How do I know it's right? Okay, but God, this is the one I REALLY want… But today I realized I have to totally and completely stop worrying! God is FAITHFUL!!! He goes before us, just like it says in Hebrews… Funny how He put all the stuff we needed in a little instruction manual I like to call, The Bible. So sometimes I've gotta stop worrying… let go… and let God. (But don't worry, I'll keep y'all up to date on what the job situation is!)

So what do Nashville, Coffee, and Family have to do with each other? Well here ya go!

1. Nashville:
~ I love it here. I have seriously fallen in love with so many wonderful people and had some seriously amazing people come in and touch my life with their spiritual gifts… If you don't have faith in God's ability to turn bad to good, you're probably still in the bad that He's about to turn into something amazing :) Share it, I love stuff like that.

2. Coffee:
~ Well… We all know I have an addiction to the stuff.. but I have seriously found that some of my deepest thoughts come with a cup of coffee and some quiet time with my Jesus, have you not read all the stuff above? I'm drinking coffee, reading my devotional and enjoying the PEACE! Coffee brings people together, seriously, it does. If you don't believe me, look at how Sierra and Kaileigh spend most of their time with me… at a coffee shop! I've even had some of the deepest conversations with Joe in STARBUCKS. That was my first super deep and meaningful conversation with one of my now best friends.

3. Family:
~ I have been thinking a lot about who and what family is to me this week… especially today. I have determined that I'm one blessed chick because my family is so full of love and life! I'm not just talking about my blood-related family. Although, I got pretty lucky and I'm one blessed lady to have the family/parents God gave me. Joe… the anonymous dude I told y'all about earlier? Probably tied for best friend along with Kaileigh, Sierra, and Julia. I don't know where I would be without these people. Joe is definitely the person who I look at for 9/10 of my advice… now these ladies I've mentioned? You really wanna know them… some SPECTACULAR people!! Those girls are the most faithful, loving, and nonjudgmental people I've ever met in my entire life. God seriously knew what He was doing bringing us all together… He had an AMAZING plan. All of these friends/family members… they all love me and support me through my faults and failures. They tell me when I'm being an idiot, but they also will cry with me on the phone for hours. They're the absolute most amazing group of people I've ever had the pleasure to allow into my life. 

Last but not least:

I've realized how blessed I am for my FABULOUS life. I may have struggles, but counting my blessings and "detoxing" (getting people who are toxic out of my life) my life have been the most amazing things I could do for myself. I find myself so much more joyful, even though there are still some very difficult days. I am thankful beyond belief for the love and support I've got… Even if I don't know what my plans are for my life, that's okay… God does… He's gotten me this far :)

So if you're one of the weirdos that's decided to be part of this adventure I'm calling my life, thank you. I love you. You're a brave little soul to be dealing with this roller coaster ride. :)
