Stray Thoughts


I am supremely blessed with life at this moment. France is flourishing with color and life from the changing of seasons. I have been blessed to spend a great amount of time with a friend from home, while also bringing together and fitting into my life here with friends of the present.

I am impressed with the character and strength some of my friends have possessed. While being able to laugh and cry through conversations- but even with the difficulty of life, I am able to rest confidently on the knowledge that all things will work out, because God is in control.

I was able to take an adventurous trip with friends. I usually travel for the purposes of work, and when I see groups of girls walking around with their bags I think, “What amazing memories these girls are building.” This weekend I was able to have that experience and I will forever treasure it.

Work is busy and satisfying. I see great purpose in what I am doing and like watching things work out and come together.

This week I have been very reflexive on life, friends, family. I am overwhelmed with how fortunate of a person I am to be surrounded with such great people. Life isn’t always easy or pretty but it is a grand ride. I am so happy I have who I do, to carry me through.

There are many things none of us could ever pretend to understand- but when things start changing- I believe something great is on the brink of the horizon. I have faith. I know and believe it all will settle into something new and something beautiful on this journey of life.
