Falling in Love

can't believe I haven't updated in forever!! Sorry guys!! Time is fleeting here! Lucy and I were just discussing today our last weekends together!

2/21-2/22- ?? I don't know yet.. might go to London

3/21-3/22- USA :(



Crazy to think I'm half way done and I only 5 weeks left! My spirit grieves a little bit more every time I think that and I just want to cry! I love it here, I feel so complete and at home. I've told everyone I think that I'm moving back after graduation. So if you don't know already... I'M MOVING TO ENGLAND AFTER GRADUATION!! The bad part about that is, I have to wait a whole year. But that is a good thing too. God can do big things for me in Jax in a year and prepare a place for me in England. I'm choosing to trust that He knows what He's doing by sending me back to the States for a year!

My mom surprisingly has accepted this.. which is totally Jesus! Every time I talk to my family she has a countdown of when I'm coming "home". I keep telling her I am home but she says I have to come back and get my stuff and take it back to England. Pretty evident that she's getting closer to accepting that I'm actually serious about moving. The rest of my family are going: "Have fun!" like they did when I left! LOL So I've been praying a lot about coming back and graduate schools here. I've fallen in love with Bournemouth a bit, but I haven't heard anything yet (praying wise) so I will keep trusting.

I knew I would change while I was here, but I didn't think I'd change that quickly! Lucy and I were walking to dinner last night (Valentines @ Sweeney and Todds- talk more about later, promise!) and we were talking about things that are going back home and I said "We are not the same people that stepped off that plane 5 weeks ago" and it was the first time I realized that I am not that same person and I don't want to be anymore...

God is teaching me to delight in Him. I know I've mentioned this before but I can't get over Psalms 37:4 and now my new verse is Zephaniah 3:17:

"For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs"

I'm learning.. slowly but surely to delight in Him... and what that exactly means!!

Life is doing pretty good here. Last night for v-day, Lucy and I went to dinner at Sweeney and Todds, just for the heck of it. Then we went to our friend Cid's and hung out for a bit.. other than Valentines day was simple, good and quite fun! I am finding myself stuck between a rock and hard place though. I'm torn between telling someone that I'm interested in them and losing our friendship and being heartbroken... it's quite confusing. I've been praying about it, but I haven't done anything yet. I don't want to do anything that I'm not called to do. But when I think about not telling this person or thinking about them not being interested in me its a heartbreaking moment. Normally I wouldn't really bother with it, but this time it feels so different. My spirit is attracted, not just my heart and that is what is confusing!! I really need prayer and discernment specifically!! Other than that.. life is good! I'm not thinking about what I'm going to do when I get back... I'm just going to live and for once that is quite peaceful!

I'll try to keep you guys updated as much as I can!! :) Here are the links again:
