when words are not enough...

this past weekend

i want to just rewind and pause

for days.

there is so much about it that i don't think i can begin to grasp.

because it was beautiful and inspiring and full of love.

and love is all that matters.

between serving as an usher and a recorder, there wasn't too much downtime for me to hang out with my loves from all over the south. and while i do wish there had been more time, it was enough. enough to see that being together makes us happy. that serving is what we were meant for.

there were six of my loves from bosch 2005 there. and while there wasn't an opportunity for all of us to be together at the same time, it was enough that we were all there.

after the workshop on sunday, i was walking into our meeting with the senior institute members in the aptly named authority boardroom, and suddenly became overwhelmed by the fact that i was in a room with five of the counsellors, three members of the national spiritual assembly and several auxiliary board members. what else is there to say?

without a doubt, one of the best weekends ever. what a perfect way to end my college career and the year.

so thankful.
