My. Life. Is. Awesome.

Soo...let's review. In the past week, the following things have happened:

1) I got a job. Wait, let me specify: I began a full time, paid, career...in ministry.

2) My job comes with my very own office...which is bigger than my current bedroom.

3) I enjoyed a delicious brunch with some of the loveliest ladies I know.

4. The sun came out in Portland. On a weekend, too, so everyone could enjoy it!

5) I found an apartment in an incredible location, and I get to live with one the coolest girls. Ever. (In just a few short weeks, my suitcase will return to a vacation-only necessity, rather than functioning as my closet/dresser/nightstand/laundry bin)

GOD IS STILL IN THE BUSINESS OF ANSWERING PRAYERS, Y'ALL!!!!

It has been a long, exhausting, painful season of waiting...but my God has it paid off. I am literally more grateful than I have the words to express. Which is saying something since I looooove words.

To all of you who have stuck by me through this transition period: you have blessed me beyond my imagination. I'm thankful for your consistency, your patience, your compassion, your prayers, and your amazing generosity. There is no way I could have done it without you.

I made it out of the desert, and I'm singing from the mountain tops, and as cheesy at this is...let me tell you guys: the view is breathtaking from here.
