Like Leaves Falling From the Trees

I hate not being in control. It really freaks me out. I like to know when and where and why everything in happening. And slowly, i'm seeing that i've never been in control. And lately, I feel even more out of control than normal. I'm not even sure what day it is anymore. The days have begun to run together into one long singular day full of ups and downs, highs and lows, ins and outs.

And so the month of August is upon us. And with it - weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and even death..

As Justin has put it, it's definitely been a long weekend. So much has happened in such little time that it seems so surreal. We have experienced the death of my grandfather - Luther Frank Hedrick, on Thursday. Then the "exciting" events that followed that. (That's him on the left. On the right is his father, Luther, who's 92. And as much as a smarty-pants as ever.)

Driving to Mesquite with my mother-in-law to exchange my sister-in-law's wedding dress, then family photos in Waxahachie the very next day. Not to mention that we looked at a house today that seems like a great deal - even though a lot of work, AND to top it off - Justin finally got a new job.

But I know that God has great plans in store for Justin and I and I have to keep reminding myself that all of his plans will come into place in time. (Note* in his time, not ours) =)

Oh. And school starts in two weeks. Yikes. But i'm going back to part-time at work, so, yay? And so I feel like leaves falling from the trees. I can see what's coming, but i'm not sure which way I'm going to turn, how fast the wind is going to blow, or if it's going to take me somewhere other than where I plan on being. All I know is eventually, i'm going to hit the ground somehow.
