Void Out

I was emailing Charlotte, one of my favorite people I interned with in Vermont, and wrote to her that I felt some sort of void ever since I came home. I was quick to not get too sappy over an email because I could've written for days and so that's what led me here. Earlier today, I would've said that I have no idea why I feel this void inside of me, but when I came home from class and mulled it over with my Mom then it all made sense. (Mom's are great for that, aren't they? Someone who knows you better than you know yourself.) She asked me to help her fix a broken coat rack and so I made my way to the garage where we would work on this project together. Little did either one of us know that it was in today's grand design that we spent time together that eventually led to a conversation that needed to happen, ASAP. We agreed that even if I am doing all the things I want to do and staying busy, that if God isn't included in those plans and if those plans don't line up with His then I am never going to feel "full" or satisfied. Also, if I don't ask to do things in His strength then I am wasting time and effort because I could never accomplish anything at it's maximum caliber without His go-ahead. There's a lot of new-ness in my life right now and I want to start it all off on the right footing and make sure I don't lose focus on the One who allows me to even have these wonderful blessings and opportunities in my life in the first place. 

Things that have changed in my life since school has begun:

I changed my major from Animal Science to Agricultural Extension.
I joined UT's equestrian hunt seat team.
I am applying for part time jobs. 


Missing these cuties something fierce... (Tiana, Terra, and Trynke)
