salty air

Haven't written in a uber long time!  Life has changed so much...in an amazing way.  Graduated from college and spent two awesome/much needed weeks at Rockbridge in Goshen, VA.  Quickly packed up my stuff (or slowly, i own a lot) and landed in the Outer Banks for the summer again.  Only this time it might not just be for the summer.  No more college, and I am just working some jobs to make money and see what God has in store for me.  Still going to apply for the Intervarsity staff position!  That will be fun/stressful :)  Hoping that is what God has in store for me...but if not, I know his plan will be so much better.  Anyway, I prayed for so long for a church and loving community here on the beach.  God is faithful.  He has blessed me with a church that is growing and learning about how to be a community that really embraces Jesus.  Not only a church...but a small group!  I love meeting on Tuesday evenings in a dim room with about ten people gathered around reading the Bible.  They are all so unique!  It is awesome to see how God created each and every person.  I am so excited for the new friendships and opportunities we will have to bless each other and our communities, families, and workplace.  God has been teaching me so much lately.  The most recent is that I should take a sabbath each week to focus on Him and how he loves me.  It will be an opportunity for me to trust that he will provide.  I am debating getting another job for the summer...but my days off have been spent getting to know Him more (mostly reading the Bible and praying).  I feel like I might be trying to learn a little too much and not listen enough.  God give me ears for you.
