If I were completely honest, then I would have to admit that I sometimes worry I'm going to end up being an old spinster with a cat and a garden and the boxed set of Golden Girls on dvd. Complete with bonus features for those extra lonely nights when I just need a fresh laugh.
And all the children of the children I now spend my current life babysitting, will refer to me as nanna and ask me to tell them stories of when I watched their parents and all the shenanigans they got into. Oh the shenanigans!
It could be fun actually.
It also sounds like my worst nightmare and I pray it doesn't come true.

I'm supposed to be speaking to high school girls this weekend on the importance of finding our identity in how God defines us and not anything else. And I don't know that I've ever been given more opportunities to remember that than this week.
Funny.
But not haha funny.
More like really God you had to make sure I was serious about it? funny.
Which isn't funny at all.
It has actually been really exhausting.
But a good kind of exhausting in that I can now speak with confidence that yes, surrendering your future over to the lord is a very difficult thing to do, (and I'm sure I haven't struggled with the last of it), BUT it is the only thing that has ever brought me any real joy.
Believe that or not. It is the truth.
I am so looking forward to everything the Lord is going to have you share this weekend! You will change some of their lives Kayla! I am glad that we get to serve these high school students together before we set out on our own adventures!
