Home

So, Thursday I got on a plane to Atlanta. Thanks to Lauren and Dave Mills. They gave me a buddy pass!! Love that crazy girl!! First thing I did when I got into Douglasville.... ATE! Fabiano's! So good for my heart. Then Will and I drove to Alabama and spent the night at my parent's house. Woke up the next morning and hugged my mom. It was so great. She made us waffles and then Will and I walked around Janney Furnace (the confederate memorial my new puppy is named after) with Princess. Friday night we had a fish fry. My whole family came. Hollie and Alan came, my grandparents, my cousins, my sister and BIL and nephews! Brittany came too. It was so great to be together with everyone. To eat, and goof off and have fun. Saturday morning Maw Maw Nunnelly made us breakfast. It was so good, as always. Then I got ready and Will and I headed to Habersham for my friend Stephanie's wedding. This is where it gets interesting, to make a long story short.... because of bad directions we missed the wedding and the GA/AL game. We were so lost. More lost than I've ever been. We drove for over four hours!! After the 4 hours of driving and not finding the wedding... we gave up. Not to mention GA has a gas crisis right now and there are hardly any gas stations with gas and the ones who do have gas have mile long lines of people down the streets waiting to fill their cars up! We headed home. Then Courtney came over and my best friend from elem and middle school, Brittany Blair! So great to see them! Sunday morning I got ready and went to Midway. On the way I got a speeding ticket. Actually in the church parking lot :) I was late. No excuse. Anyway the GSP had mercy on me and for that I'm grateful. I ran into those church doors and I..... cried. I was home. I was home, with my church family, with my worship team. My Hannah saved me a seat! So good for my heart. Then we went to El Ranchito. I got a text from Lauren saying it didn't look like I'd be getting home on Sunday night. I was so nervous I didn't eat Mexican. I had to get home. I couldn't miss any more work!! I was nervous and freaking out. Really? What right did I have, do I have? My Jesus has provided for my EVERY need AND want and I had the nerve to freak out and worry about having a seat on that plane. What an idiot. My Jesus loves me and provides for me even when I am the most undeserving spoiled brat 20 year old ever and I freaked out about getting home. Jesus had a seat on that plane for me the whole time and I questioned who he is. So, I had a pretty crazy weekend. I cried. But I learned too. About myself. About life. About my Savior. I have an incredible family, a wonderful boyfriend and some amazing friends! I have nothing to worry about, complain about or cry about. I'll be back for another great weekend in Douglasville/Alabama in 2 weeks for Jessica Vickers' wedding. yay!!
