In the midst. I find such peace in this verse for some reason? In the middle of, the center point, that is where you find God. How awesome is it to think of God as a the center of everything. The center of the church, of His people and the world.

The "her" referenced here is the "city of God" but naturally when I read this bible verse, I thought of myself. I  will not be moved because He is in me. The center, heart of myself, He is there. I also instantly thought of the Chronological Study that I started five days ago because the verse says, "God will help her when morning dawns." because that is that is the truth. Yes, it has only been a few days of waking up at 7AM but amazingly, I have only hit the snooze button one time each morning. That is clearly an act of God. I don't mean to be dramatic, it is the truth since I usually snooze 4-5 times on a daily basis! It is a BIG deal that I have climbed out of that comfortable bed of mine so early but I know I can do it because he is pushing me. Literally calling me off my pillow.

I have been praying for this. Praying before I fall asleep at night, praying every morning after my reading, praying for a thirst for His word. Hoping that I crave Him more than sleep and so far it has been wonderful! I continue to pray for the week ahead, praying that I can make it five days in a row. Pick my head up off my pillow and make my way downstairs to sit at my corner desk and open His word. That is my prayer.

I can't help but think about one of my all time favorite songs....

This morning my alarm went off

Earlier than I’d ever want
And in this small obedience, Lord
Help my heart stay bowed down

Father, You've given Jesus
All those He will raise up
And all eyes, including mine, will see
You are the only God
{Bethany Dillon // Deliver Me}

He is in the midst of me. He is in the midst of this life.
The midst of my mornings. All Him, all around.

 What is He calling out in you?

My Friend Cassie.

It's not every day that you meet someone that shares your first and middle name, especially when it is not a common name. It is even more crazy when you share a nickname like Cassie. Throw in the bizarre way that we met (thank you very much, Instagram!!!) and you have two women that probably would have never met that became two of the best friends.

The first time I met Cassie in person was on my wedding day at the wedding reception. I was so excited to finally meet the girl that flew all the way to Greenville, SC for less than 24 hours. That is a big deal. So there I sat, eating my salad when I feel a tap on the shoulder. I turned around and saw her face and I couldn't get out of my seat fast enough. It was such an amazing feeling to hug someone for the first time but already know you love them like a sister. I still can't describe the unique type of happiness I felt during that moment.

The photo above is the only picture we have together. We talk pretty much every single day and when I notice that I haven't talked to her I instantly want to grab my phone and text her. She's one of the funniest, sweetest, genuine women I've ever met. Her love for the Lord shines through that bright smile and makes one of the warmest souls I've ever known. I'm so thankful that He brought our lives together. We were just two Cassie Lee's living life but now that we know each other, I know that He will do something with this friendship. Something for His glory that we couldn't do alone.

Cassie, get ready for the best day of your life. I hope it is even more than you could possibly imagine because you deserve every bit of it. I'm so happy that I get to be there to witness everything! And hug your neck of course. And definitely take some more photos together because this one photo thing is just not working for me. I can't wait to see you!!!
