Been a while but...

I'M BACK!

It has been some time and things have certainly changed. On May 8 ( over a month ago) I graduated from James Madison University with my Bachelors of Science Degree in Sociology YAY!!

It was almost unreal. The day was eerily clear and the whole ceremony flowed so well. I thought before the actual day about how sad I would be sitting there and seeing my friends cross the stage.
When I heard my named called and it was my time to cross the stage, I thought that would be the moment "it" all hit me. Instead I didn't feel much of anything. I wasn't sad or extremely happy. I was good, finished and content. I was just...done. My undergrad career was over and I was...OK. Today I'm still...OK. I took an awesome trip with a group of my good friends (and
fellow grads) and gotten comfortable here at home. Sooo what's next you ask? Well its all in God's hands. I have a rough (and I mean rough) draft of what I want to do. Other than that there's no pressure. I'm trying to use my time to allow God to teach me. I and trying to draw closer to him in this odd position that I'm in right now. Being here for the past month I realized that I need him even more. With my patience being tested and the alone time working my nerves, I am desperately seeking God in hopes that he remove from me the things that I have been able to see in myself that aren't very good representations of him. In this peculiar season there is only room to grow. God's plan is perfect and I'm hanging on to his every word as he positions me right where he needs me.



*Just wanted to share a poem (well somewhat of one) I wrote quite some time ago. I felt that it was appropriate for this particular post because it shows that though its been some time since I've posted, I'm still learning and hearing from God, and STILL seeking his face. Love Him So Much!*
~Still~

Still seeking,
Still digging deeper into your heart
Still trying to understand your love and your mercy
Still praying and saying "God I want to know more of you, I want to be closer to you-Take me deeper
Still waiting for you to show me where you're guiding me,
And what kind of woman you're shaping me to be
Even in this place where you've seem to have arranged me to be...still,
I'm still aiming to see your face and to see you be glorified in every action I take
Still in love with you God and and from here we can only grow closer
Increase the intensity
I'll keep seeking, digging, trying, waiting, aiming, praying, learning, and loving
All because I'm still hungry.
