following grace

  oh my word, y'all! I blinked and opened my eyes and it was August 1st..   it has been THE craziest summer and while time to sit and blog is extremely hard to come by these days, while I have a few moments ill post about my sweet little girls weekend at the beach with my Meggie JoJo this past weekend.   (just pretend im not lazy and didn't screenshot my snapchats ;)   it was truly the best little getaway full of so much laughter, fun, relaxation and dreaming of the future.   making memories that are sure to never be forgotten.   It has been the sweetest, craziest little summer. wrapping up my last week of work this week before I head off to the beach next week with the fam.   Classes start in a mere 3 weeks and im trying not to cry yet so overjoyed to be a SENIOR.   more updates soon, hopefully!   catch ya later, Aus...

wait, what is this thing called again?   oh right, a blog.   Y'all, its been SO long. my apologies.   Life is insane as always and several times I have sat down at my sweet little desk to write what was on my heart and I just stared at the screen and didn't even have the words.   However, today the Lord showed me something and suddenly all the blur of the last few months came very clearly into focus.     the last few months have been some of the hardest, trying times of my life, yet some of the most incredible moments seeking the Lord and reaping the joy of trusting Him in every circumstance.     2016 has been a train-wreck but when I get to the end of some days and get back on the tracks and see the light peaking through the end of the tunnel, it's like my personal rainbow from the Lord knowing His promises still ring true and He is always there to guide me.   today, I came across...
