Last night in Atlanta!

I leave tomorrow at 8AM! 

What a strange last day in Atlanta. After raining for pretty much a week straight, yesterday it began to flood, and i mean big time! Noah's Ark style. Roads all over Atlanta completely shut down and were now rivers. Bryce was in Woodstock (which was one of the worst areas) and he was going to come see me to Atlanta, and I'm pretty sure the only way he could get here was by canoe. Somehow he made it! Thank you Lord!

Today most all school were closed. It's not raining right now but they sky is grey, and there is no sun to soak up the water. 

My parents are on their way here from Augusta. We are going to Barbecue Street tonight. Barbecue Street is a restaurant in Kennesaw, where I used to work. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my last night in Atlanta then with my parents, my wonderful boyfriend, and my three best friends. Erin fiance Trent is the manager so he'll be there, and Greg Kelsey's husbands is hopefully coming too!

During my quiet time this morning. I came across this passage. "May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech." 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 (message version). It captures what my heart is feeling. I'm thankful for "unending help" from everyone who has supported me, and I pray for a fresh heart so I can regularly be reminded why I'm there, and why I'm doing this! 

Francis Chan said, "If life were stable, I'd never need God's help. Since it's not, I reach out for Him regularly. I'm am thankful for the unknowns and that I don't have control, because it makes me run to God." What a great quote! I know the Lord is using that to remind me today that the nervous feelings are from him! He wants me to feel this way, so I run to him for comfort!  And so I keep seeking him and his vision on this journey!
