These past few weeks have been a whirlwind! The last week of school was canceled, following the touch down of some twenty tornadoes in the Chattanooga area. Thankfully, none touched down on campus, but they did damage to the water company that cut off our water supply. So, let out a week early, we were not sure what to think! I certainly was not unhappy to miss out on exams, but it was an abrupt goodbye. We were given twenty four hours to evacuate, and as RA I spent a lot of that trying to help get other people out. What a mess! Then, just as I was leaving, my car check engine light came on. Since it was the weekend, I could not get my car fixed. Josh and I hoped to be at his brother's play the next afternoon in Augusta, so I had to leave my car at my dear friend Cathy's house.
The weeks that ensued were wonderful. We started out by visiting Josh's family for a few days. After that, we traveled to Marietta where we spent several days hanging out with some of our closest friends. Then, we went back to Chattanooga to get my car fixed. (Praise God, it was not too expensive!) After that, it was back to Josh's house. Three days later, we were on the road to Florida for a wedding I was in. It was beautiful! Yesterday, I flew into Wisconsin for a two week visit before my summer job begins in Florida.
It was fun to jump around and see so many people. We were blessed with generous hospitality everywhere we went. However, it is so great to be home, where I can take a nap and have my own space. Of course, I am being dramatic to call myself a "weary traveler," because these were great weeks of fun. However, I am in need of some good rest!
Praise our God who is ever faithful! Please continue to pray that He will work in my heart and shape me to be more like our Jesus!
