God is great.

hello. hello. hello.

so a lot of things have been happening in my life lately, some good and some not so good. i'll give you the good first :)

ATLANTA FEST!!! ahhhhhh i will be leaving for atlanta fest on tuesday with my boyfriend, his parents, his sister, and three of our friends on tuesday!!! don't know what atl fest is?? let me tell you :) it's a four day concert with sooo many different christian bands that just perform all day long! i'm most excited about brandon heath, superchick, britt nicole, and tenth avenue north! :) here's the site if you wanna check it out -- http://www.atlantafest.com

i've recently connected with my friend that i made on a mission trip about four years ago. her name is katie and she lives in california while i live in georgia. you know those friends that just feel like soul mates? no matter what distance separates you and no matter how much time goes by, that person is always there for you and they just know you? that's katie for me. to my prayer warriers - shout out a prayer to God asking for him to let us somehow see each other! i miss her :/ it would be sooo refreshing to reconnect with her!

on a sad note :/

my grandpa (gran) is in the hospital. he has diabetes and it's taking it's toll on his 88 year old body. his kidney's are failing and he's on dialysis. i went to go visit him today and it was so sad. my gran used to be a very happy, sweet, strong, vibrant southern baptist preacher. it's so hard to see him slowly drift away from us, but i'm so happy that he'll be home with the Lord soon. it's so bittersweet. please pray that God will bring him home peacefully and that God would calm his fears about dieing and leaving my beautiful grandmother here without him.

so that's a quick update. God is great.
