His buffer

So I am off tomorrow morning...driving from Charleston to Maryville, TN to spend some time with my grandparents, Loudon County YL committee and transitioning to Windy Gap to lead as one of the work crew bosses for 3 weeks. Transitional buffer. That is what I call this time. I am excited about the time in TN and then at camp. To help with the transition from Charleston to Tennessee, I am getting more excited about knowing that the Lord is preceding my steps and hemming me behind and before.

As the Young Adult class prayed over me on my last time at East Cooper, through tears (many many), I praise God for the relationships that I have built here. I appreciate every new stranger that became a friend. I love that they speak truth in my life. I love that accept me for who I am and see in me the Woman that God desires me to become. I know that the depth of these friendships will extend the 6 1/2 hour drive to Tennessee. :)

I am reminded of His promise.
"You hem me in-behind and before; you laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain...If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast...Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See, if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139: 5-6, 9-10, 23-24.
