Meese Retreat Round 3

for the past 2 years every semester me and my sweet friend Megan
take a weekend trip to her beach house. We don't make extravagant plans,
or do anything super outlandish we just rest, relax, laugh and make memories
but it is by far my favorite time of each semester.
 
we absolutely love just being able to get away from the chaos of life
and who doesn't love the beach in October?!
 
the weather this time was so beautiful and we just loved
getting to soak up the sun in the middle of fall.
 
from the 1st time we started this little tradition of ours
there were a few things we vowed to do everytime we went.
it's so fun going back and getting to relive our little traditions
from the first meal at the Surfers Café when we arrive in town
 to our last walk on the beach to end the weekend.
 
we dream of the days we will bring our families and
get to carry on those sweet little nuggets of tradition.
 
our trip this year was so needed, we were both knee deep in
school work and the break was just the perfect opportunity
to step away and forget about school.
{even if we did bring homework with us ;)}
 
it was such a good time, I cannot wait until our
next Meese Retreat!





























 
Until next time,
Austyn

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 :)
