Welp. It official. I’m moving to charleston!! (Taken with instagram)

the past month has been insane. totally insane.

i was walking on the beach last night with my face looking down at my feet and had a little pity party for myself. my feet have been taking me many places in the last four weeks. i have walked down two aisles at friends weddings, i have walked across the stage at graduation, i have packed, moved, and gone to florida on vacation.

and today i sit in a starbucks in charleston between meetings imagining living here. anticipating another transition. 

my dogs are barking. those feet have been moving.

but last night as i walked and complained in my heart about how tired i am of moving, going fast, i realized that by looking down at my feet i was missing this.

by worrying about where i was going i was missing the blessing of where i was.

i gotta keep my eyes up so i don’t miss it. my feet are gonna be tired for awhile i think. but i can’t let my eyes get tired. i’ve got places to go and things to do in this season. but the lord is with me in it. and he is with you in your season. 

friends, we gotta lift our heads and see.
