A little glimpse into the future

This week I had two little sneak peeks into the future. I was offered the garden internship that I applied for. So I will be staying in Marion this summer. It is for real the greatest deal. I am pretty excited about it. We also had our new staff retreat this weekend. So it was a sneak peek into the team dynamics of a new staff and getting to know and love these girls. I am also super excited for that.

Stunning ladies right?

Anyways, it was great to have a little snippet of what life is going to be like in the near future. However, I want to stay in the here and now. I have to in order to survive schedules like these:

Pretty crazy but oh so beautiful and sweet.

Unreal.

It is unreal how infrequently I have blogged. It is unreal how much happens in a few weeks. It is unreal how much happens in a day. It is unreal how blessed I am. It is unreal how sovereign God is. It is unreal how much I love coffee. It is unreal how this community has become such a part of me. It is unreal how I can meet with the Lord in the most unexpected ways. It is unreal how weak I am. It is unreal how much I need rest. It is unreal how little I can figure anything out on my own or do anything by my own strength.

So, here I am. Updating on my life so one day I can look back and say 'oh yeah that was awesome'.

This happened. Our spring break trip was all of those things I mentioned in my last post and more. It was beautiful. We rode horses on the beach. Yes, just like the movies. Mine was named Gracie. So so so thankful that this could happen in this season.

While I was in NC for spring break my sister-in-law gave birth to Arie Grace Oler. I can not wait to meet her and love her. Yay for more girls in the family! I am totally looking forward one day to talks with my niece that only a young hip aunt can have with her. I am so proud of Alex and Ayla and the wonderful parents that they are to her and Austin.

Myself and some ladies made a kick-butt fruit salad last weekend for Fish Stick Friday at Ben's house. College kids don't get thing this nice. We gifted ourselves.

Em bought a duck. Duh. haha I love it. We played with it for a few hours on Saturday. I did not have that planned but that is the beauty of life. Sometimes you cut out a few hours on a Saturday to play with a duck darnit.

Last night we had an Eastside event called Unveiled. The Lord really worked in this event last year and I think is already working in the event this year. Super challenging but super awesome. Linds and Steph led a little worship at the beginning which was incredible. I tell you I am so lucky to get to live among these ladies.

This weekend we have our new staff retreat. I am so excited to start this new journey with these girls.

Praying for daily bread.
