Life moves so quickly most days, I have two jobs and am in school part time, sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with everything. The graduate school program I am in is wonderful but a lot of work, before spring break I had two midterms and a project due on top of going to my jobs. During spring break I had the opportunity to work with Payton's youth group volunteering and ministering, it was a blast and makes me want to look for more mission work in this area. Now I am back to work and back to school, eek, will I ever survive all of it? On top of my normal school work I am preparing to take my certification test the beginning of April. Please be in prayer for me about this, I need to pass so I can be eligible to be hired.
Payton and I are doing wonderfully, he is such an encouragement in my life. I think he embodies what it means to serve and love one another the way Jesus did. He is working and going to school too so he completely understands where I am at. My relationship with Payton is growing and flourishing everyday and he teaches me how to be the best version of me all the time.
My biggest struggle right now is just the same old thing trying to live day by day. I find when I over analyze my life or worry too much I just become bogged down by unnecessary fear. Life is so beautiful and I am so richly blessed. God is teaching me everyday how to take one day at a time and to live in the here and now. So that is what I am praying for the most in the midst of this fast paced world to live, love and just let it be. That is my hope and prayer for everyone, we are more free when we learn how to let go and when we live day by day! :)
Here are a few pictures from this past semester and a little earlier
...I need to start taking more pictures!

This was back in December Hannah, Elizabeth and I the night before Elizabeth got married!
