Just Dreamin

The idea of having a tiny little apartment with that homey feel in Nashville, TN is in my dreams right now. The Midwest/South with all its funny accents and new way of life is so appealing to this non-traffic So Cal girl... i want out. HA:) The patience that i must have at this point is almost killing me, but i know that it is all about the journey. The idea of moving out on my own, i mean my real own is CRAZY. The idea of moving cross country sounds so fun!

As i was driving through my town today, i realized that sometimes it takes years to get to certain points in our lives. We have to realize that our parents are only a plane ride away and there are always new journey's to be started. For the first time in my life i am beginning to have no idea what i want to do or where i will go. Leaving the teaching behind, i am silent. It is as though i had my way planned and then God was like um.. yeah about that! Isn't His sense of humor kinda funny at times!

I just at times can't believe that i am already a junior in college almost ready to start real life. Now i know that i don't want it to begin quite yet, i love my life. I love my friends and the life we live, but there are days when i am ready to be done. I am ready to get a real job and follow my passion! It is amazing watching my friends start to discover their hearts... Brazil, the south, wedding planning, marriage, nursing, teaching, and so many others!

I know that i am going to look back and wish that life had been slower, but i am itchy. I am so excited to see what the future holds and am just trying to soak up every moment!!!!

Are you kidding me?

This has to be a joke... as i sat and stared at the statement in front of me i was stunned? Almost a thousand dollars less? How could this be? I swear that i had the numbers right, i had been saving for months and have been stressing... but now as i sat in front of my screen i got goosebumps. Could this be true? God is so good... He hears the cry of my heart and teaches and disciplines me in a way that leaves me breathless.

Are you kidding me???

This semester has been wonderful! As it comes to a close and everyone begins to pack up for a long holiday, i am ready to curl up with a great book and enjoy a little breathing time! I am excited to spend 7 days with my family just the 5 of us... just being the Boyte's!!!! What excitement. I am so excited about going to Arkansas and visiting family... riding a horse...seeing cousins i haven't seen in 3 years!!!! So much time has passed...amazing!

There have been some great times and some not so great times, but i have learned so much and seen how each day brings something new. For so long i have been praying for a college group and just this last week God put a new one in my life. Amanda D and i have been the greeters for the last 2 weeks at Crossroads Live the college and career group and it is amazing!!! I love it.. the atmosphere is authentic and real... and so great. I am so excited to see where God will take us this next semester and can only pray that each day i can wake up with the excitement that He calls me to!! - tata for now!
