#RealTalk

So I haven't really posted on here as much as I would like to have been. I have been absent from here for many reasons and I wanted to just touch base and talk real about what's going on. I created this page to be a voice for my life and in the silence, it actually has been just that. 

Moving to Texas is exciting and I cannot wait for this new adventure, but it hasn't come without its heartbreaks. Spending months without my husband here at home has been a source of tears lately. Having to figure out a temporary new normal for me has been difficult. But resting in the Lord, focusing on school, and spending time with my family and friends while I'm still only twenty minutes away has become what I'm all about lately. People have come and lifted me up during the hard days and rejoiced with me in the good. I feel so much love from my little corner of the world and it truely gives me so much joy to know that we have such an amazing team here in the ATL cheering us on. 

I've seen the Lord through so many people close to me and have listened to Him speak to my heart in places that I didn't even know needed speaking to. 

He has time and time again shown that He is faithful and that He is sovereign. I am finally being selfish with my time (and not being the people pleaser that I normally am) and finding time to truely do the things I love. I have rediscovered my love and passion for makeup, rekindled my love for reading for fun (and not for school), have cooked not just because I was hungry but because I am wanting to learn more and experiment, and have even learned to say no to people who demand too much of my time (which was a definite nada four months ago). I've learned to be confident and love those around me with purpose and intentionality. 

So while this season leading up to this move has been an emotional doozy at times, it also has been incredible learning experience and I am so excited for the road ahead. And knowing I have all of you reading to journey with just makes it that much sweeter.
