Whoa, where'd all that come from?!

I'm so ready for this weekend!!!

Friday after work, I'm heading to Athens to visit my BFF, Jessica and all of our Athens friends! Then, Saturday we're going to graduation at Emmanuel!  Oh, how I miss that place. I miss the town, I miss the people, I miss the closeness, I miss the worship, I miss the presence of God that fills that campus, I miss Singers and I miss the amazing lifelong friends I've been fortunate enough to hold on to even though we're miles apart! I can't tell you how excited I am!

Everyone probably knows by now, I was only at EC for one year because of my inability to get up for Bible class at 8am. I knew the stuff, I didn't technically need to get up for class when I could ace the tests. Wrong. Oh, so very wrong I was in that assumption. I failed that class because of absences,  which was why I never went back.

{my parents were paying for me to go to college and i was irresponsible and didn't make the most of it. in the grades category that is. ha!}

I was so bitter for a long time about not being able to return to EC. I hated having to have that conversation with my sweet roommate, Mary. I hated telling all my friends, and I hated most of all the fact that I was stuck back at home and didn't know what I was going to do with my life.

For the longest time I thought I missed EC because of the people and fun we had. While that is a part of what I miss, it's not the main reason. I miss EC because my heart longs for Franklin Springs. Say, what?  As strange as that sounds, I miss that tiny town that smells like chickens and doesn't even have a Walmart!  I've always felt "at home" when I'm there. I don't know why, but I long for it deeply. I only know a handful of people there, but some days I want to just drive up and not come back. It's so peaceful and the back roads to EC are my most favorite to ride. Maybe God has something there for me, I don't know, but I do know that God has a plan and I'm ok with whatever that plan might be.

However, moving to Franklin Springs permanently might be the most fantastic thing ever. :)

Hope you all have a fabulous Friday tomorrow and a wonderful weekend!
