Good things come..

for those who wait. Like I said in my last post, God has really been teaching me lessons on patience. And although I'm not as receptive as I'd like sometimes, He is proving His faithfulness and sovereignty one piece of good news at a time and I literally am so happy I could burst. I am sitting here in literal TEARS at how amazing God is.

I was browsing the endless posts of facebook last night when I came across a friend of mine, Morgan Servies-Smith, who has her own little hair salon downtown Crawfordsville with a room to rent out. I had thought to myself that surely someone had already reached out to her about this space but I thought I would just go ahead and message her for details and she was so quick to get back to me with exciting news and information. So with that said, after a few conversations between me, her and my parents we decided to formally hold the room for my own space. MY OWN SPACE. My own little salon in downtown Crawfordsville (right across from Little Mexico for those who are familiar with the area)..my hometown! It will be a booth rent deal but I'll have my own room! I'll get to work either on appointment only or I can come in and take walk-ins..I can decorate and set it up exactly how I want..decide what product and color line I would like..and basically learn how to run my own business. I am SO happy and honored to be working with Morgan and I am so happy to be in my hometown and be able to make some of my most favorite people in the world beautiful. I am in awe of the provision of my Savior and the way that His hand is in EVERYTHING I do. I have had SUCH a trying week with worrying about my living situation and school and the old roomate frustrations and wanting to be home and worrying about a job and now I know that God is laughing at me because I feel so silly for not just sitting back and trusting a little more knowing He will never leave me or forsake me. (Hebrews 13:5)

So now I really do sit and wait. I know that I have been so anxious for these last 6 weeks here in Georgia to fly by but now I am so excited to just chill out a little bit knowing I have something amazing to look forward to and to rest in. I really have enjoyed these 7 months of freedom that the Lord has given me. Time with one of my very best friends Katie and her precious little family, time to make decisions and think for myself and decide what I TRULY want and where I want to be, time to finish cosmetology school and time to LEARN so much about Jesus and His will for my life. There really isn't much more to be said about all this stuff other than I am cloud 9 and can't wait to start my business and get a clientelle and be around my family and friends!

Eeeeek, life is so crazy and fun. It's amazing to me how it can turn on a dime, and while it's so easy to get discouraged at a bad situation, you never know what good things will come your way. Gettin in the word and being in constant prayer has been so good for me and it has been so good for God to show through in all of this. I have obviously always been a Christian but never fully had to rely on God for everything, when I had NO IDEA where my life was going. I heard the quote once that says, "When you have nothing left but God, you realize that God is enough." Simple. God is enough to get me to amazing places and to carry me through the mud and He is more than happy to be there for us in good times and bad. What an awesome God we serve! Well thats all for now. Off to enjoy my snowday with Katie and Beckham..I already have the day off tomorrow too! Crazy what a little snow does for people in the South, but hey, I'm not complaining. :)

The song below has helped me get through all of this wondering and is SUCH a good reminder that God is faithful!
