"I Want to Hold the Hand that Holds the World."

Ohio was a great trip. The Kratz wedding was beautiful & I met some incredible people. The Ohio people knew me before I even met them, which was awesome. That made my day to hear "Oh You're Jamie King?! We've heard all about you, so nice to finally meet you." I was able to reconnect with Blevins and meet his beautiful wife, meet my new "best friend" JD, see Andrew, Mary, Alyssa, Ang, etc. It was a beautiful reunion. The wedding was a blast, and I was honored to be a bridesmaid & sing for them during the reading of their vows. The reception was so fun. The dancing, music messing up, meeting of new people, and joking on everyone was just what I needed to end my trip. Thank you to all the Ohio Christian kids, you guys really made my "visit" a memorable one.

Moving on...
I've decided not to claim "stress" or the "feeling of being overwhelmed" on myself, knowing my schedule. If I claim it, then I'll allow it to happen, right?

Phew, classes are going to be intense this semester. I have 2.5 years left until I have my Master's in Elementary Education & I begin my journey to teach little ones.

Right now, I've been taking on many different projects, and I'm only 22. I'm proud of myself though.
I am rarely able to sit down and breathe, but it's the best thing. Honestly, I'm blessed to have the ability to work as much, study as much, lead worship, help with musical projects, and even start one of my own. I'm able to play flag football with some awesome people, stay deeply involved with the youth, young adults, and church in general. I am blessed to have these opportunities.

This leaves verrryyyy little room for thinking about relationships. Yep, I went there. It's a blessing and a hinderance, all in one. I know God's got me & the whole "dating" thing will be taken care of when He's ready for me to face that, so I take my schedule as a blessing. But as of right now, until I get confirmation from God that He knows I'm ready to face that next chapter in my life, I am keeping busy with a servant's heart to serve Him as much as I possibly can. Thank you Lord, for patience.

Speaking of God....
He's incredible. I say that alot, yes, but He really is.
Worship has been opening doors for me, spiritually.
& right when I feel as if something is going to hurt me, God turns it around and blesses me with an immeasurable amount of things. He's so good.

Thank you Lord, for endurance, patience, and for just loving on me always.



Until next time,
J. King
