For dinner I went over to the Mattenley's for pizza. It is always nice to spend time with their family and be in fellowship with others. They open their house every Saturday and it is such a blessing!
After that I came home and listened to the Tennessee vs Alabama football game. I miss watching good SEC football. After the game, I skyped my friend Jeremy from college. It was nice to talk to him and catch up on things in life.
With the change of pace and down time I had today I was able to reflect on many things in my heart.
In college I was always around my best friends. I never ate a meal alone. Sarah and I would always cook dinner together or go to Chickfila. I could go into Katie's room and have a conversation about our feelings at anytime. Going over to Heistands and spending time with their family was so refreshing and felt so comfortable. The Gregory family was so welcoming, and I knew I was always welcomed there. I constantly was around people that I loved and who also loved me. What a sweet season of my life!
Not a day goes by that I don't miss college and my best friends. I think of Boone and all the memories that I made there often. I can easily dwell in the past and miss out on what God has for me now.
I pray that God would show me what He has for me in this season of my life. I pray that my eyes would not be blinded to the things that He is doing around me.
I pray God would give me a renewed joy for teaching and for the children in my class. I pray God would give me a heart that burns for Him. I pray that I would trust in God's goodness and feel His almighty love.
I'm back! :-)
