I decided it's about time for another blog post. Just an update on our house, we close on the 15th of this month (only 1 more day! Yay!) and move in on the 26th. I've already begun to pack up here and there; Cody and I are so ready to get in our new home and finally get everything under one roof and in its designated place.
Speaking of "place." Here lately I've had on my heart where I am in my life and how the Lord has led me to where I am today. It seems to me that the older I get the easier it is to look back on my life, see where I've been, and how God has led me throughout all of those years, even if I never fully realized He was leading me.
My senior year of high school when it came time to apply for college, I only applied for one college, Mississippi University for Women, mainly because it was the only public college in the state that offered music therapy. I honestly did not decide that I even wanted to major in music therapy until my senior year of high school. I partially filled out applications to two other colleges but never submitted them. You may think that I was foolish to only apply for one college, but I just felt an assurance that the W was where I needed to be.
Fast forward to college, I got involved in the Lockheart Social Club which introduced me to girls who are still some of my closest friends today. One of those girls in particular, my friend Leslie, was the very person who would introduce me to my husband. By my senior year of college, I was applying for music therapy internships, and just like my college applications, I only applied for one internship. Again, that may not have been very wise on my part, but The Baddour Center was where I felt I belonged. I had visited Baddour a few times prior to applying for the internship, and each time I visited, I felt like that was where I needed to intern.
Well, I got accepted, and little did I know that interning would develop into a job opportunity to become the new music therapist. During my internship, I also rented from a very sweet lady who has been like another grandmother to me. She got me involved at FBC Senatobia, which is now Cody's and my church home, and we've made some really great friends there who have made Senatobia feel more like home for us. She also allowed Cody and I to continue renting from her after we got married until we bought a house. We are excited to now have our own place but truly sad to leave her.
I can see how the hand of God has led me in my life and allowed me to feel assured and at peace along the way. It amazes me how He placed people in my life and used them to direct me in the way He would have me to go and how He led me to places I never thought I would go, all unbeknownst to me. He has blessed me beyond measure, and I can never thank Him enough. I know that the Lord continues to lead my life, and I am so thankful He does. Who knows where I'd be if it weren't for Him.
