My Girls

I leave my heart scattered among the various places I grow close to around the world. There are pieces in my hometown, Camden, and a huge chunk is hidden somewhere in Sweden, and an even bigger piece remains in Rocky top. If you can't tell, I am missing Knoxville like crazy today.

It isn't really the city that I miss the most, but rather the people. I think if I were to catch a glimpse of that big golden sunsphere-- I might shed a tear though. I miss those darling little kids that I babysit and their parents, who grew to become family. My best friend, Diana. I miss being six inches away from her in 219. My bible study girls. I am really missing them today.

I am blessed to have friends scattered all over the world. My dearest friends are following the Lord on some the coolest adventures! Rebecca is interning with Cru in Wilmington, NC. My childhood dream-town, thanks to Dawson's Creek! Kristen, who was in the bible study Rebecca and I led, is in EGYPT! (She is in the third picture of the two of us.) I talked to her briefly this morning and I am so proud of her. I am really blessed to be a part of the lives of these wonderful women of God. Becca and I had 10 girls who were in our bible study that met every Wed. night. They are entering their Senior Year of COLLEGE! I posted our picture taken at our "YA-YA" night. They truly are dear sisters of mine whom I miss laughing and crying with! Let your light shine brightly girls...

I was also blessed to be a part of Beth's bible study. These women really taught me what it meant to vulnerable in front of one another, but especially in front of the Lord. So much of my growth with my walk with Jesus occurred through what he taught me from these women. They are beginning to start new lives all over the country. Laura is in Texas, Amy-Chattanooga, Frankie-DC! Rachel is engaged! I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for them, but I am sad that I can't meet them somewhere between campus and Kingston pike for coffee and a chat whenever I want!

My dear friend Katie is a NANNY for sweet children in South Carolina! She has put her self out there and is showing so much courage! She has completely immursed herself into a new town, a new life, church, etc and I believe she has rich expierences in store! You can follow her blog too...http://ktsnannyadventures.blogspot.com

I thought I would share just a bit about some of the most well-loved, beautiful, and amazing women of the Lord that I have the blessing of knowing. I pray that you find those people who walk through life with you and bring great joy to your heart! They are an absolute treasure.
