all that’s left.

I am twenty years old.

I am a junior in college.

& this past week it hit me how old I am. 

not necessarily my age but how my whole world is going to be totally rocked in just a little over a year. 

I am about to register for my second semester of junior year. As I was looking through my degree works, I saw I only need 39 more hours until i graduate. Uhm, that’s like nothing. It honestly scared the junk out of me. In three short semester, I will be a college graduate, that’s basically just a year and a half. A year and half left of actually being a kid. I am not mentally prepared to be a real adult. 
Like I am expected to get a job. 
like a real job, not a waitress, not a nanny like a career. 
That’s crazy. 
College has been flying by.
I still feel like my parents just dropped me off for my freshman year.
I still cry and tear up when they come visit me and leave.

If anyone knows how can I can just do college forever hmu.
bc I refuse to grow up. It sounds awful. 

So, in the time I have left at Clemson my roommates and I have decided we are going to really do college. (bc we are are all grandmas and go to sleep super early and study all the time)

These.



As I have mentioned in previous posts, I’ve been extremely busy it feels like. It feels like I can’t catch a break and life keeps getting thrown at me. 


In John 21: 15 , Jesus asks Simon Peter “do you love me more than these?”

I have a lot of “these”. 
These are the things I put above God. 
Lately, it’s been school. 
School is not a bad thing at all. God has put me in school for a reason. It is apart of God’s plan. But it is not supposed to take the place of God as number one. & honestly it has. I just get so consumed in doing well in my classes and trying to have control over it. Which leaves me feeling empty and thirsty. 

John 4:14-15 “but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The Water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

I’ve been filling my thirst with earthly things that will pass away. When instead I should be filling myself with the Holy Spirit. 

Come into every situation with God’s fullness instead of emptiness.

XOXO,
E.

Weekend Woohoo

1. The secret is out!!! I got two littles!!!! I’m 100% obsessed with them. They’re so cute and just little rays of sunshine. I’m so happy that they are mine!! Our reveal theme was Dr. Seuss. So of course I had to get Thing 1, 2 & 3 shirts!!! Our bows were blue tule and glitter! I love glitter lol. I’m still finding it all in my room too! Oh well…
Welcome to the dynasty fam M & M! 


2. Homecoming!!!! 
Friday my roommates & I decided to go look at all the floats on Bowman Field. In case you don’t know, each year for homecoming student organizations, particularly greek life, participate in building extravagant floats on Bowman field. It’s a big ordeal and everyone takes it super seriously. There is exactly five days to build and pomp the float, so it basically takes an army… or just really stressed out, overwhelmed college students. Students stay out building the floats all week long, 24/7. & I’m not kidding when I say 24/7. There is always people out there working on the float. This year Sigma Kappa paired with AGR & ADPi and we came in 2nd place in the competition!


3. Game!!!
Well, Clemson football is 7-0!!!! 
But it sure didn’t come without it’s heart attacks, tears and lots of prayers. Saturday we beat NC State in overtime. It was one of the most stressful games of my life. But the feeling of winning was too good. It was like a weight off our shoulders (bc of course it feels like everyone in the stands was actually playing the game).  Now we have a well deserved bye-week and time to rest before a road game.
