{Gratitude} Tuesday


Lately, I've been thankful for the incredible community I have at NC State. 

For quick trips to Asheville. 

For incredible concerts. 

For eno and chaco wearing weather. 

For these girls and that the two gems on the end are going to SHARP TOP COVE this summer. 

 For Western Wake YL. 
For the freedom of turning to the Lord no matter my circumstances. 

"I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that He gave life to someone who loves the gift."

happy tuesday homies.

Abide



My spot.

My eno has easily been my favorite purchase of all time. I'm drawn to my yellow & blue spot- it's comfortable, it's calming, it's simple. It's where I would prefer to spend most of my time. I'd like to think hanging in my eno is a little glimpse of what heaven will be like. 
My time in my spot is precious to me, I read, I journal, I pray, and I read some more. I learn and I grow in that eno. I know that sounds crazy. But really, over the years I have learned and grown in the Lord just solely by being still and listening in that spot. It's me, the outdoors, Jesus and a book. That's it. And that's where I thrive. 

This past week at Athens campaigners we focused on the word 'abide'. 
Abide: to dwell

We discussed the importance of abiding in Jesus, spending time with Him and allowing Him to consume you with the Gospel, his love, his mercy and grace. 
As we abide in Him, He abides in us. And I really believe that that is when His spirit is truly and consistently at work within us. 

Find a spot. Be still and dwell in Jesus, let Him saturate you with the Gospel and let His spirit do mighty work inside of you.
