perspective.

pretty sure Boston in the season of autumn (right now) is the most perfect time of year...if only it didn't fly by so quickly.

i am already cold....it's gonna be a rough winter for me. i can feel it already.

my mom used to read to me Psalm 23 every night before i went to bed growing up...even after i memorized it forwards and backwards haha. still...it never gets old...it's like comfort food. :)

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff shall comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

i feel like i've been around the world and back...

in the past month...i have taken a road trip from Boston, MA to Conway, AR in a vehicle that broke down once in Cleveland, OH...then while i was driving (without a license, or so i thought) the vehicle started jolting back and forth till it hit 40 mph (the minimal speed limit on the interstate)...where i then proceeded to sweat and pray a lot. we made it there finally...after a pit stop in TN and MS for a couple days. (p.s. found my license once i got to Conway) from there...my sister and friend picked me up, then had a 3 hr drive home...spent some time in NWA with the fam, then had a 6 hour flight back to NYC to visit the man for a couple days :), then took a 4 hour bus ride back to Boston...then a 20 min subway ride and a transfer to a 20 min bus ride home. basically i have taken every form of transportation in the past few weeks...minus a few uncommon ones...submarine, hovercraft, teleportation...you get the idea.

it's been awesome to just slow down the past week or so and unwind spending genuine time with God.

He never fails to reveal...and His timing is always perfect.

God will always give what is right to His people who cry to him night and day, and He will not be slow to answer them.
Luke 18:7

this is such a cool verse for many reasons...the Lord is faithful. He knows our every need and He will provide. so many times in my life when i have taken life into my own hands being hasty, i have crashed and burned...but when He is in control, He has my best in mind and He answers every prayer. patience is the key.
