God has been providing in beautiful ways. community is growing in my life. since friday i've gotten to hang out with a large group at pizza hut, wake up for two beautiful sunrise's over the ocean, spend an entire day with a new friend and have this beautiful "family" time here at the house last night. God has also been rocking my world by providing me with a spare and new tire for my car, an opportunity to house sit for extra cash and a new job lined up for this summer. it's in times like this that i'm reminded that God truly loves me and wants to provide me even the tiniest things just because.

i'm also on the verge of finally grasping my freedom in some difficult areas in my life. my only fear is that i'll get caught up in life and forget to keep moving forward. each day i see something else that God wants to work on or wants to show me that needs fixing. it's difficult but it's important. i pray for joy through it all and the wisdom to see what's happening along the way.
