Sophomore, so far!

My mind is completely blown away when I realize that it's already been a WEEK.
I have been back at this amazing place for 8 days now
and no surprise it has been amazing from the moment I arrived.
Last week after church I pulled away with all my life in tow.
Even with my mom and Aunt following, leaving my boys behind was so
much harder this time around.

Monday morning we started bright and early with our
week of Leadership training.

My fellow prayer leaders are such amazing women
of God, I am so blessed to call them my sisters in Christ
and be able to serve with them this year.

And as the week progressed, I started to prepare
for another of my favorite Sisters to make her appearance.

Our brother/ sister dorm dinners were some of the
 longest hardest laughs I've ever known.

I have no doubt that our leadership team was
put together by the Lord himself.
They bless my socks off and I am so excited for this year!

And it helps that my two wonderful friends help
me regain my sanity, that was lost long ago.

We started the year off right with a snowcone
and syllabus party.
College kids, need sugar, and motivation.

And this morning we sent each other off to our 1st day
of classes. So proud of my roomie and her first day
ever of college, I know she is gonna rock it!

And so blessed to have a bestie who treks campus to see me
off before a crazy day of classes and chaos.
I just love her, a lot.
 
Happy Monday y'all!
Off to Biology, my fav! ;)

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 :)
