Seven days. Short enough that I wished it was longer, yet long enough to be an almost cruel taste of togetherness before he had to fly back to Washington. But every day was beautiful, showing him a week in my life as a Bible student in Florida. And I’m thankful.
Meet Davy and Erin.
These are two of my favorite people. My roommate and I have spent countless hours at their house, playing with their children (Colton and Trinity) or doing our laundry or baking experimental desserts. They’ve greatly invested in our lives as friends and mentors, and I really enjoyed doing their family photo shoot. :)
Aren’t they cute?!
I’ve been so overwhelmed lately by the blessings God has showered on me. Just in the past week, so many beautiful things have happened through no merit of my own whatsoever. For example, I can walk again on both feet now—no crutches! Furthermore, I got to spend Resurrection weekend working and playing alongside many beloved members of my church family. I had opportunities to build up and encourage my classmates, as well as receiving encouragement from them in return; several other times, God blessed me with much-needed counsel from the mentors He’s put in my life as a GCBI student. My senses have been sharper than ever to the beauty of the Florida landscape around me (flat though it may be), and I’m so excited to return to class this week and learn more about my Lord from His living Word! Not to mention that I got a few surprise phone calls from my man back home, which I brought a smile to my face every time. :)
I am so excited about this life I’ve been given. Lord, You are so good to me, and I live to serve You.
