you set me free.

so i've tried about 4 times now to write a blog entry. WITH NO AVAIL! hahaha. ima keep this short, just so that i can actually finish something. haha.


let's just start this off with the honest truth. i'm walking through some ish right now. haha there, i said it! truth is out. i truly am learning to breathe. and it's funny, because i feel like i blog about that quite often!

anyway, although i'm going through some things right now, i feel like God just has the perfect timing. right when i'm at the height of it, he sends that perfect person into your life at the precise moment that you need it. HE DRAWS YOU NEAR. even when you feel like you don't have the energy, strength, or heart to reach a little further, God just scoops us up into His arms and brings us closer to Him. closer to love.

Today God picked me up through a conversation with my college roommate, jamie♥. however short it was, i must say that it was SO SWEET. it was one of those conversations where i just knew that God was speaking through her during the conversation. wow. now that's a blessing.  just hearing from someone i used to talk to EVERYDAY was such a calming relief. and then for her to tell me about her amazing 1st week in Japan on summer project was so cool. and to top it off, for her to speak such truth into my life was more than profound.

i knew there was something different about today.

i love that God speaks to me. i love that He never lets me go. i love that He chooses to work THROUGH people, including me. i love that He loves me.

and although i'm not exactly having the easiest time, i'm being crazy blessed with comfort left and right. i need to constantly remind myself that everything really is going to be okay. because God's in control. and he's got this!

anyway, time to go on a date with my discipler<3 more later. please pray (:
