You know. So precious are the little things that God gives us. We don't deserve it at all, but he constantly is pouring gifts upon us. This weekend in Florence was just wonderful! Everything seemed to go so well and I knew it was God directing me and giving me patience and peace. There were times where I could have just flipped out or been running around with my head cut off but it would have been unnecessary for the situation and would have only made matters worse. God just told me to be patient and wait and He just made everything work so well! We almost missed our only bus into town and one of my roommates just kept barking at us, telling us to hurry up but the rest of us (Anna and Katelyn) were very calm with the situation and were praying that God would work it out. The woman who worked at the desk ended up taking us to the stop by cramming the 5 of us into her little car and driving us there! We made the bus because it was running late! Praise Jesus it was such an amazing moment!
But, you must know about our night beforehand! We were all walking this little town where our hostel was and decided to go get some Gelato! All the places were closed...so Anna, Katelyn and I bought a big tub from a convenience store and ate it on our way back. Then, we found this terrace pretty close to our room and sat on a swing out there. The swing had this obnoxious bar that was preventing us from getting a good view of the stars, so Anna looks at us and says "we should get our mattress's and bring them out" so we all ran back to our room, grabbed two mattresses from it with some blankets and pillows. We laid them out on the ground and just looked up at the stars, admiring God's creation. We prayed over our day and sang his praise. It was such an amazing experience. We saw so many shooting stars. I do believe I shall always remember that night!
God is still teaching me and helping me grow so I can only hope that when I come back, it will be evident that God has been working on my heart. I pray you all are well and I miss you!
Much love!
