two months.

two months.

two months have passed since my frantic call to my parents.

two months have passed since the most emotional day of my life.

two months have passed since I begged to come home.

two months have passed since the day that I panicked.

two months have passed since the day that I learned to trust.

trust God's truth.

trust God's promises.

trust God's life plan for me.

trust God's Word.

trust God.

two months.

two months of learning that God is so much larger than I am.

two months of learning that even when I fail, He never leaves me.

two months of learning that patience is a virtue.

two months of learning that my plans may fail, but His prevail.

two months of learning.

These past two months have been the longest months of my life.
In the greatest way possible.
I have seen God in a whole new light.
I have felt God's presence in a whole new way.
I have experienced God.

It is only month two and yet I have already learned so much. I have been given people to guide me and comfort me and support me and laugh with me and spend time with me and cry with me and be real with me. Beautiful people who love Jesus with their whole being.

And once again, I am thankful.
