Seven months in 300 words.

Wow. It has been too long. 

A lot has happened since my last post. A. LOT.

I started knitting. again.

I turned 21. That's weird.

I celebrated {for friends} a graduation. two engagements. a baptism. a few ring days. a wedding. an acceptation to graduate school. and a lot of birthdays.... gosh, my friends are happenin' people. 

I said goodbye to two roommates.

I spent part of christmas break in Colorado with old and new friends.

After getting out of the car from Colorado, I jumped in a different car and went straight to Atlanta...

where I worshiped Jesus with 40,000 other believers at PASSION.

Jesus ROCKED my world. to say the least. 

I started working in a bakery. 

I was a leader for a DNOW.

And I saw the Lord bring 200 girls to hear more about Jesus a at BVYL Girls Night Out. 

He is GOOD.

I have also been humbled in too many ways to count... as soon as I think I am as low as I can get, I hear the Lord say, "Bow lower."

I have been reminded that I can't do it all. 

And I can't do anything apart from Him.

I've realized that I make a beautiful Martha, 

but I am no good at being Mary.

I have battled guilt, lies and apathy. 

but He is still GOOD.

It has been a sweet {and sometimes hard} couple of months. 

Through it all I have heard the Lord so sweetly say....

Marissa,

 your strength comes from Me...

your peace comes from Me...

your victory comes from Me...

your rest comes from Me...

your joy comes from Me...

your life comes from Me...

I am your source.

And believe it or not y'all... I think it's finally starting to click. 

Praise Him. 

So that's it. The last seven months in 300 words. I'm back and I'm in this blog thing for real this time...  Ha, I am pretty sure no one reads this anymore. But, hey... I talk to myself anyways, so why not do it on the internet, ya dig?
