God's peace is so amazing.
I don't think there's a way to fully describe or quantify the affect if can have on you. And I say quantify instead of qualify because I feel like there's a true tangible element to it.
When I found out I was going to Oklahoma for the summer, I started FREAKING OUT. Like... crying all the time and my heart was beating uncontrollably, and I was shaky... and I physically felt my mind and body reacting to this very unwanted and unexpected thing. And I hated my attitude about it. I hated that I didn't feel peace and even that was confusing because I wasn't sure if that meant it was wrong and I should try to get out of it or if that meant I just didn't have enough faith to believe I would be put in the right spot.
But oh my goodness. I feel exponentially better now. Yes, there is a chance I'll get relocated back to Northern Minnesota (yay)! But I even feel okay about letting go of that and just accepting what comes. It's maybe not what I perceive to be ideal (poor Charlie :( ), but... I can't describe it. It's just the peace of God that transcends understanding.
Nothing really changed... just praying, offering to God a sacrifice of praise... and letting go.
Thank you God! That is a MIRACLE if I've ever seen one.

- My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
