Ramblings

"You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." ~Psalm 139:16

I have been reminded of these words so often the last few months. You know, sometimes life is equally scary and exciting. Exhilarating I guess you would say. Not because of some unexpected experience, but rather in the simple day to day events that make our world a little bigger.
I love excitement! My Mom once told me she should have known since I was a toddler that my life would not be boring. Well, I was afraid I hit boring two years ago when I started graduate school. But I was wrong. I have travelled less the past two years and been generally more stationary than usual, but have somehow still found myself in a mysterious adventure...LIFE. Granted I am starting to feel restless and the travel bug is itching me again. But who besides God knew what I would learn in these two years? (Three and a half by the time I am done) I have been amazed by three things: 1) Seeing God reveal more of his character and power 2) Discovering who He has made me to be 3) And experiencing the pain and beauty of human relationships.

"I have called you by name; you are mine." ~Isaiah 43:1(b)

I'm over halfway through my graduate school experience and wondering what's ahead as I find an internship site, graduate, and move on. But holy cow it's exciting! I know I can face the struggles that will come and I can enjoy the ride because I belong to One greater than myself. I hope you can do the same.
