After fall break I came back and was playing catch up with two tests and a big essay due. When I found out my Mom, Auntie Kiss, and JanJan were going to be here for market at the same time, it made getting through it so worth it. I could not have asked for a better group to make me feel better after a week of stress. God’s timing is always spot on.
I have been missing my family a little more this year. I am not homesick, but I think I got so used to being around them all summer and now that I don’t see them as much some days are harder than others. Especially when I have a thousand things going on. So blessed that the timing was just right and they could come hang out after I was free of midterms.
We spent some good time together and then took my friends to dinner, which is always fun. I love that my family loves my friends and that my friends love my family. It couldn’t have worked out any better. I do hate that they had to leave so soon, but I already can’t wait to be home for thanksgiving. Which by the way people, will be here before we know it. CRAZY if you ask me!
This week has really been a huge God week. I have just seen him working in areas and working in me. His timing has made this week very special. I always look back at times when my life was consumed with worry and see how all along God was with me and He made me in the palm of His hands. It is very comforting! I am feeling extra thankful for His work this week!
Thanks Mom, Kiss, and JanJan for taking time out of market to spend with me. You 3 are the best 3 women in my life. You always cheer me up, feed me well, give me gifts, and overall shower me with love. I could not imagine life without you. Thank you God for those 3 and a fun quick visit from them! Special times indeed!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
