:)

I'm sorry, guys. After re-reading my posts from the beginning of this year until now, I realize I don't sound very happy.

Don't get me wrong -- there are plenty of times when I haven't been happy; my blogs can attest to that.

But I wanted you guys to know.. at the end of the day, I am joyous.

FOR REALS!

I am an optimist at heart. There's always an upside to everything.. even the hardest, most heartbreaking things. You know why?

Because GOD is GOOD. ALL. THE. TIME.


I can put my head down with peace and joy filling my heart.

Because even if we are hard pressed on every side, we are NOT crushed. We might be perplexed, but we are NOT in despair. Persecuted, but NOT abandoned; struck down, but we will NEVER be destroyed.
-2 Corinthians 4:7-9 (emphasis mine)


SO, please know that yes, my road, your road, THE road we are walking while following Jesus IS hard. Will be hard. But you and I can take JOY in knowing we don't walk the road alone and we can do it because we have our MIGHTY Savior, Jesus :)



And with that, I bid you adieu. I am off to shower and get ready for my first day at a university! Granted, I am quite nervous.. I don't know what to expect and I'm not sure how to feel around such a huge crowd.. but the Lord'll take care of me :) I worry over the silliest things :)

The sun is SHININGGG, the temperature is a LOVELY 70 SOMETHING DEGREES, I am forever loved!


Yall have a blessed, blessed day :) :) :)
