Joy

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

Hello again!  I'm sorry it has been so long since I have doodled my thoughts in here.  After the two weddings, I had two weeks of free time that turned into a crazy mad dash to move back home and get ready for my last Fall semesters.  I cannot believe that I am in the home stretch, and that this is my last semester that I have actual classes - Spring semester I only intern!  It has been an overwhelmingly blessed experience, and I would not trade any moment of it.  

My dad asked me a couple of weeks ago if I had the choice, would I have stayed at NSU or would I have transferred schools.  Without resistance, I automatically chose NSU.  They welcomed me with open arms and they will greatly missed.  Although no program is perfect, it has been the best decision for me.  I will always love OSU for the education and memories it gave me, but NSU has a special place in my heart as the school that gave me my master's degree.  

As for this semester, I am interning at an elementary school the first eight weeks, and a children's center the second.  I am so excited to earn clinical hours outside of the campus' clinic and gain invaluable experiences.  

Let's see... what else is going on in my life?  Besides moving home, I have been teeter-tottering through the options of moving out and into my own place to call home, whether that be an apartment, townhouse/condo, or house.  There have been several factors that are dependent upon the move period, and my patience has definitely been testing me in that regard.  I was spoiled in Tahlequah with really inexpensive rent for what it was (not to mention it was a brand spanking new unit and I was the first resident of it), and now the bar has been (un)fortunately set a little higher.  Please be praying for me that I gain peace and comfort in this situation.  

Hmm... what else.. 

Oh, I have been going through all of my clothes and either selling or giving away a ton of clothes I don't wear anymore.  It's kind of funny because I realized I have a ridiculously huge collection of camis and tank tops for layering.  I also noticed that a lot my wardrobe consists of solids and not prints.  Therefore, I have been purposefully shopping for prints and not-so-common colors.  Now the challenge is if I don't look like a rainbow when I walk out the door!

I know that a lot of people may not read this lovely blog, and I want to give you all the opportunity to discuss whatever topic regarding God that you choose.  I may not have all the answers, but I will try my hardest to answer them according to His word.  Feel free to comment with whatever topic you choose.  :) 

Much love, 

Kelsea Lauren
