I am truly blessed.


God is good.

Love.

One good love
You bless all my memories
You soften the fall of my tears
And in my arms you’re more than enough
You’re one good love

One good love
And born again means more than pass the plate and bow your head
Yes, you bury what needs burying, you raise it from the dead
The very best, you heal the brokenness, give grace to everyone
With one good love



it's funny when you realize a lot more about a song you've heard a million times.

and it's slowly getting warmer...

I think Spring Break went by too quickly. This weekend in Columbus was awesome, and Gatlinburg was more than amazing. I couldn’t have asked for better people to go with. Even with the accident and the detours here and there on the way down, everyone stayed so strong while we worked through it together. I am so thankful for them :). In fact, I’m just thankful for UC and the Navs community in general. When I first came here I was so worried that it wouldn’t be the right fit or that I wouldn’t find people I could become close to. I came with the worry that I’d end up going home every weekend and spend every night of the week doing homework and sitting around with people I have already known in High School. Thankfully I was very wrong :). I have met so many amazing friends and become close to some people that are now very very important to me :). I think smiley faces are my thing this morning.

This quarter should be interesting. I am going into this new environment not knowing what to expect. I had become so used to the same people in my classes and the classes I was taking for my “ex” major these past two quarters. I am now totally out of my comfort zone. In fact, I’m sitting here in the halls of CCM waiting for class and feeling pretty small. Maybe it’s because I am unsure as to where my classes exactly are, or maybe it’s because I just turned in my acceptance decision papers and am officially doing this, or maybe it’s because I feel like everyone that passes me looks at me and says to themselves “why is she here?” And then I realize oh my gosh Cait, these people don’t even know you! Haha, I should really stop getting myself worked up.

I have had such a struggle this year listening to God and just trusting. I have struggled so much with making plans for myself instead of just waiting for His guidance. Lately though, I feel like I am improving, and I am so thankful. I have realized that especially when dealing with the sickness of those closest to me, it’s all a part of God’s plan that’s a lot bigger than me.

I’m not bad at meeting new people, so why am I so nervous?

Love.

itching for spring...

I've come to the conclusion that when an opportunity just falls into my lap, i should probably take a chance on it. There have been about five instances in the past few weeks that just appear for me. God works in crazy, crazy ways. :)

I think I may finally know where I fit.

Spring break is going to be so awesome. I am looking forward to spending time in Gatlinburg with some of my favorite people in the whole world:)

Here's to you free souls, fire fly chasers
Tree climbers, porch swingers, air guitar players
Heres to you fearless dancers, shaking walls in your bedrooms
There's alot of wonder left inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true 

"But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him."

yep, it's that easy.

last weekend was nothing short of amazing. God is so great. I adore my small group girls.

This week has been kind of hectic, but every week has been like that it seems this quarter. Spring Break is going to be nice...especially since i'm kind of going to see Carrie Underwood in concert with my little sister:) yessssssssssss

Kayla and I were up until 3 am. Talking about life, things that do matter, things that don't matter...it's just so nice to have someone like me on so many levels.

I feel like God puts certain people in our lives to just balance us out...someone who just GETS us.

and I am so grateful for that:)


i want to go to the beach.

i'm not good at stress.

i can't wait for a break.


key laborers this weekend! :)

feeling discouraged...

i am having one of those days/weeks where nothing ever feels right. Something's always going wrong. Why can I not just be content? Content with myself, and content that there are certain people who no matter how much they say they care, can be the ones who can hurt you to no end? I think the word 'relentless' is a good word for today.

sometimes lately i don't even feel that i'm content with God. I'm always searching for more, not content with the choices he has guided me to make. I'm always doubting Him. Doubting myself. Oh, goodness.

Last night I came upon the verse in John 4 where Jesus says to a royal official that "unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe." Sometimes I believe this to be true with me. I just need to work on knowing that I can be content with not physically or quickly SEEING that God really works in my life.
okay, now that probably only makes sense to me. ohhh well.


I am very lazy today. Probably because the power went out because of the crazy wind last night and I went to bed late. That's already the second time that's happened this year. goodness.

My sister Andrea is coming to stay with me Friday night. I'm excited:)


let's hope next time i'm a little more content and patient.
