It's Sunday already, my how the weekend has flown by! Jesse and Emily got married this weekend and the wedding was absolutely beautiful! Emily was GORGEOUS! It's hard to believe that we're now in October and that we are both married. The days are flying by like a fast train.
Luke and I are preparing to take the GRE next month and applying to graduate schools. It's hard to believe that this is becoming a very real thing for us. What's even harder to believe is that we are currently looking into a graduate school that is no where near my original idea of a grad school. Whether or not we get into that particular school the thought occured to me how little of control I have, really. God ultimately can take us anywhere. The idea of not knowing quite where that might be does not seem so scary anymore. A week ago I would have pushed the idea away, but I'm learning to surrender "the wheel" over to the Lord more everyday. Believe it or not, life's easier that way.
So I start this new week with feelings of excitement and not as defeated as I felt last week. The Lord has a plan for Luke and I. I do not know where we will get into school, nor do I know when we will actually get into our programs. However, I know that the Lord does have plans for us - and good ones. :) And that, I would think, would make anyone feel excited and encouraged. :)
