Signs and Seasons

So, I made it through arguably the most difficult conversation of my life: telling my awesome coach that I won't be running for him anymore. But I learned that Jesus is faithful, and He provides all the grace I need to obey Him.
I have 10 days left at Greenville College, and I'm soaking up the sunshine on this beautiful day, remembering all that God has done/showed me this year. It seems like an eternity ago that I flew from France to Illinois- even longer still since I spent a beautiful summer in France with my brother and French friends. And to think that was a year ago!
Life is fleeting. If that makes you feel uncomfortable like it does me, read Ecclesiastes (a real kick in the butt).
I'm excited for summer, even more excited for the next season of my life. And when I say excited, I mean terrified- mixed with some positive expectation of having a good time.

I'm learning that God's timing is flawless, thankful that His mercy is endless, and hoping that His promise will be enough to keep me content for the rest of my life.

Christian Nationals

This weekend was the greatest meet of my life, and not because of how I did personally :) I absolutely LOVED cheering on my teammates. Running back and forth, over and over, during the relays, screaming at the top of my lungs; praying with them before their races; suffocating them with hugs after they finished; laughing together; understanding and listening to them vent when things didn't go as planned.
I love them and I will miss them dearly.


And both girls & guys took 3rd!!
