twas the night b4 new york...

Here it is. in less than 24 hours i will be in a city that doesn't sleep. and how exactly am I feeling you ask? Well its somewhere between excited and scared. Maybe "scexcited." Well after typing that it looks like something dirty. Regardless, the point is that I am having emotions. Surprised? I am packing everything up thinking that i could just not go and be ultra comfortable here in Winston-Salem all summer and save the Baptists money and everything. but then i think that disobedience=death! Haha, just kidding, but seriously.

I am ready. I have been. Rachel called me today and told me that she says she thinks that I am completely capable. WHICH WAS ENCOURAGING. sometimes i forget how important it is to hear encouragment from my sisters in Christ. But I am holding on to those words. I am also holding on to these words from Psalm 16. This is from the message and it is beautiful.

*My choice is You God, first and only. And now I find I'm Your choice. You set me up with a house and a yard. And then You made me Your heir. The wise counsel God gives while I am awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart. Day and night I'll stick with God. I've God a good think going here and I'm not letting go. Now You've got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of Your face. Ever since You took my hand, I'm on the right way*

Take that for what its worth. I am in a good place. I have peace. I will be holding on to God's hand as we walk through the crowded streets of NYC looking into the eyes of people...people who need someone to hold their hand too.

see you in new york

(thats hebrew for good evening)

Love
Stephanie
