that's fine.


No matter how awesome I think my plans are, they never seem to work out. That must mean that my life is going to be awesome because God has big plans for me. They must be pretty awesome.
My heart beats and breaks for things, for people.

unwed mothers, inner beauty, unseen heroes, grace, things that matter, babies, love, friends, pure love, marriage, family, wrinkles, weddings, laughter, traveling, rolling hillside, exploring, climbing, wandering, music, sunshine, open fields, no regrets, chubby baby hands, insecure girls trying to fit in, tall buildings, downtown, coffee.

THERE IS LOVE, THERE IS GRACE, THERE IS FREEDOM, THERE IS JESUS.

I want to live a life full of those things.


I have so many options in front of me. It makes me really excited about life. Being the now is really hard. Everyone says to live in the now. But I'm antsy.

My soul soars when I think about all of the possibilities in front of me. none of them involve Texas.

Lacey/unwed mommies- Cadillac, Michigan.
Study Abroad - Dublin, Ireland.
Hospitality Management - Macomb, Michigan.
Business Management - Rochester, Michigan.
Anywhere in California.
Chicago.

anything that isn't here.

I don't think I am going back to school this semester. I am going to be bored out of my little mind. I am not sure what God is going to be teaching me in this next season of my life. Something, though. I am ready for it, bring it on. :]

The Lord is faithful, He is abounding in love and grace. His fingerprints are everywhere.

"He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much." Luke 16:10.

Continue to be faithful in this season that you are in Mary. God has you in Texas right now, and it may not be the place you want to be, but regardless, you are here. While God desires to bless you, he cannot bless an unjust, unfaithful steward. Press through this season, and God will richly reward you with the desires of your heart.
