two extremes

so it has been a crazy month in alabama. tornado season. today my former school was hit terribly by the tornado. my heart hurts for my friends that still live there and for all the people who lost their houses. here are a few pictures:
the apartment complex i lived in my senior year of college


these next two pictures are of 15th street. 15th street had a bunch of restaurants where a bunch of students would eat and it was one of the main roads to get to the University.

there are more pictures that people have been posting but you get the point of the devastation. so please pray for the city of tuscaloosa and for the state of Alabama.

on a much lighter note here is my announcement:
that's right!! i'm going to AFRICA this summer in June. more info to come soon :D

i'm so blessed to be going and i really need prayer of protection and guidance for this trip. also be praying for guidance and that i would be obedient with my walk with the Lord. some changes will be happening soon in my life.

love you guys!

i've been learning so much with my relationship with the Lord. i have realized that i am so blessed and i will continue to tell myself that because it is speaking truth to myself. i've realized that i am truly loved by my Father, His Son/my Husband, and by His Holy Spirit. it's such a comforting thought.

speaking of love... two of my best friends got engaged a little over a week ago. i can honestly say that i am so excited for them and that we are all still friends. the three of us have been through so much with different things that we have experienced together and/or separately. it is a blessing to have them in my life for so long! congrats you two :D

so i have made a decision that is basically life changing. i'm really excited but i also do not feel like the Lord has released me to tell more than a few people. unfortunately, those who read this and do not already know will have to wait until i can tell the virtual world. it's going to be great and i can't wait to see what the Lord is going to do but i completely trust Him with everything that i have!

love you guys!
