Prayers.

I am very good at posting events in my life and taking pictures but sometimes what i really need is just someone to lift me up in prayer.

Things have been insane lately.. School is stressing me out, there are deadlines left and right. Working is making me exhausted. im babysitting or helping my weekly family out every night of the week. We're traveling to see my dad. His work is putting a strain on our family. Its very very hard to live seperate lives during the week. Ball season is in full swing and my mom is always on the go. Im working all the time and trying to make money to provide for myself and have some spending money but the time has come where this is all just getting to be too much. I have had my license for a year almost and still have no car. I desire so strongly to be able to have one and get around on my own and a gracious friend has offered me one for a great price, but i just dont have that money. So right now in the midst of this crazyness i just need the Lord to lift me up.

Please pray that the stress will ease out, that summer will come faster, that i will remain in good health, that my alpha and omega will provide for this car i want, that he will bless me and reward me as im a cheerful giver and have been tithing very well. That all of these babysitting jobs will continue to come in steady paces. That i will have wisdom on these college exams i've been taking and that he will remain by my side and that i will rely all my trust in him. Always.

thank you so much faithful readers!

    I got you babygirl. Life IS hard for you right now as it us for all of us. You have much on your plate, but God will not give his children more than they can handle. You are so close right now. Adjust your focus for just another week or two, get proper rest, say no when its too much, and wait on Him. He may have something FAR better in store for you and if you took this one it would take the opportunity for what He has in store for you away, and He may just want to show you something through prayer. Continue to learn and serve while you wait...just as you have been. Your hard work DOESN'T go unnoticed. I will lift you up in prayer, for ALL of your worries and angst to be resolved. You got this....and remember, sometimes rejection is God's protection. I love you and especially who you are in Him!! You inspire me, your old aunt too too, every day. Chin up beautiful girl. You will soon enough see the fruits of your labor.. <3

And Even If;

Y'all. its been a while. Holy cow. I was talking with a friend this morning about life and this waiting game of a season that the Lord has me in right now. Waiting for graduation, waiting to know what the rest of my life is going to look like, waiting on contract updates and internship approvals, waiting on interviews, Creation studies to END (forever and ever amen), leases to run out, May to arrive and my next chapter to begin. The whole while I was sitting there discussing the frustration yet Hope that I had in this season I just kept replaying the lyrics to one of my favorite songs "Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul He's IN the waiting" He's there friends. He's with you. He's fighting for you, with you. Look next to you, allow yourself to sense His presence as He runs this race right beside you, pushing you on until the very end. Who am I to rush this season the Lord has purposed in my life for go...

We are Family.

All my brothers, sister and me.   A week after leaving my sweet family, they came to visit. Guess they missed me ;)   Their 24 hours here flew by but it was such a refresher and so nice after my first week back. And it makes the month before I see them again, not seem so crazy long.   My siblings and dad had never been to the campus, so we enjoyed touring around and even getting some fun filled hours at the Snowflex. The boys LOVED it. And I just loved them being here to do it with me for once. :)   It was the perfect family weekend.   Now back to those books..   Have a great week y'all! -Austyn

Plans for prosperity and hope..

This morning as Stephen and I listened to Bruno Mars' song "Marry you" and talked sweet talks of pure preciousness he drew my future family. As he drew me, blue as i'll ever be. and my sweet husband. and the bunk beds, treehouses and basements. the staircase leading to the sky and my huge house that really isnt needed.   he also drew two black kids. My Ethiopian babies! Oh how i dream of adopting from Ethiopia. And how precious that he drew them not even knowing i did want to adopt. Seriously, how precious are those little Ethiopian prince/ princess (s). Only two because "i dont want you to work too hard" Be still my heart.   -Austyn :)
