again I say REJOICE!!

Since I don't have an official office, I work from home, Elevation, local coffee shops and if I don't need my computer, the park. This afternoon I decided I didn't want to work from home anymore so I made my way to my favorite Starbucks. I enjoy all the noises of the coffee grinder, the chatter of friends catching up on life, the huge comfy chair I'm sitting in, the wonderful smell of coffee and the warmth of the sunshine streaming in on me through the window-all while listening to some Kirk Franklin. I do love me some gospel. Sigh.....life is good.

For the first time in a long time I feel content, at peace...a true sense of happiness. I know that happiness definitely can be determined by circumstance but I am happy and I am going to soak it in. I've been working on having joy no matter what craziness life may bring. It's been challenging but knowing that God is faithful really helps. Work is crazy right now and I try not to worry too much on the future of Mission Year in Charlotte. I know that it is in God's hands and I trust that He has plan that exceeds anything that I could dream up. I feel a peace about the future and life in Charlotte, it's something I can't really explain but I am very thankful for it. I am slowly learning how to let go of every aspect of my life and let God be in control.
