following grace

Nothing suits my Sunday better than a good morning at church and an afternoon of fun at the Orchard.   Bro/ Sis events are so fun!       SO grateful for wonderful friends who walk this path of life by my side. I don't know what I'd do without them.   -Austyn  

this weekend, was Parents weekend.   My Momma and Grandma made a last minute day trip to see me.   As much as I LOVE living my little life at LU, it was so nice for a taste of home. and makes me so excited for Thanksgiving. I missed them.   we had such a fun time eating downtown, shopping and just spending time together.   and I may have shed a few tears as they pulled away. little touches of home, make breaks so much more sweeter.   -Austyn  

This past Saturday, some of my friends and I got the chance to run the Color run, for a local pregnancy center I was involved with last year.   It was so fun to raise money and run for such an amazing ministry, that the Lord is blessing left and right.   So many young women, and their babies lives are being saved as they walk through the doors of the PC and hear the gospel and are helped in the most desperate of situations.   #fortyandfreetobecolorful   these jello legs were so worth the fun! ;)   -Austyn

4 days of rest and relaxation from school was SO perfect in the middle of a stressful few weeks.   I headed to NC for the weekend and spent some time with my friend from camp, Megan.   It was the best 4 days of my year. So nice to break away. Not to mention, waking up to this gorgeous view, Jesus time on the beach, and memories with Meg.     So thankful for a few days of no classes, sleeping in and just forgetting the world. May have to invest in a beach break every few months, for the sake of sanity! ;)   -Austyn  

Wow. Long time no see. Life has been crazy, chaotic, fun, thrilling and absolutely fabulous. Sophomore year is about 1/3 over and somedays that's a hard fact to swallow.   I so miss blogging, and keeping up with my little life on the web. However, when I lay in bed at night after a normal day I realize there wasn't even an extra 10 minutes that couldve been used for blogging. So I'm taking some time tonight on this precious Sunday, to play catch up!     Oh, and I cut my hair off. Surprise ;) Alright, so here we go!   -Austyn
