so blessed by your faithfulness

so. i went to huntsville (aka h-town, huntsvegas) with margaret anne pate and matthew brightbill for fall break. it was such a relaxing and much-needed break from stress and school. i cant even tell you how much god has blessed me by placing these two people in my life. have you ever gotten back from doing something and you are sitting in your bed later or maybe in the shower and you think to yourself about how awesome the people are that the lord puts into your life? happens to me literally every single night. 


i know this phrase is so overused and a tad cheesy, but for me its entirely true. i do not know what i would have done without them in my first semester here at alabama. so much changed in my life over one summer. after working at the ranch and getting back home i was no longer a young girl in high school, i was an adult entering college. its still really weird to think about really, picturing myself as an adult. but it still completely amazes me just to think about how god really does have my entire world in his hands. 


the lord knew that i needed to meet these two people at the ranch this summer to succeed in college. so he put it on all of our hearts to first of all work at the ranch. and then we were all accepted, put in positions at the ranch that were near each other, and margaret anne lived in the same trailer that i did for two months. there is absolutely no way that it was just coincidence that i am friends with these two people. in not saying that matthew and i are getting married, but these two special people are literally and most definitely my soul mates. 


i can't even imagine tomorrow without having them by my side. 


these two people are so real, so life-giving and just so perfect for me, i know we will be friends for the rest of our lives. and just to think that our little triangle of awesomeness is centered around mr. love, jesus christ himself! it just blows my mind to think of how perfectly god makes things work in your everyday life. true story: my whole senior year i was begging jesus to bring just a few godly friend into my life. i had friends at vestavia, but i was just so worried about going to college and not knowing anyone. not only did jesus give me friends, he gave my very best friends that i am kinda sorta totally obsessed with.


THANK YOU JESUS FOR BEING SO FAITHFUL! 


if you want something from the lord, ask him and he will bless you way beyond what you asked for.


Ecclesiastes 4:12 "A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."
