"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. " ROMANS 8:28
OH MY GOSH. I am having the most magnificent day! I am so surprised and FULL of JOY right now! Lord, I almost exploded with happiness an hour ago! I am so thankful for how sweet this weekend has been. This morning we packed up and left Durham, waved goodbye to Chapel Hill, and have sense made out way to Charlotte. Hey NC, I think it's legit to say we've bonded. I knew the "S"'s said they had a surprise for me but I had no idea it would be like THIS!!! They just dropped me off, handed me some money, and told me to go "do my thing"! I'm working, but I'm getting to EXPLORE!
SO.AWESOME.SO.AWESOME.SOOOO AWESOME!!
I've strolled through the streets, done some people watching, enjoyed lunch in an organic sandwich shop and enjoyed some homemade mac n cheese with a wrap (my favorite "comfort food"), and am trying to calm down enough to STUDY in this great coffee shop.
Speaking of- the STARBUCKS that I'm at right now is beyond out of control. It's 2STORY just met Starbucks in a whole new way! The starbucks is in a cool oversized loft-like house! How does that even happen?! The chairs are those comfy ones in the SLC on campus and there's a fire place. Lovin the big windowns, hardwood floors, openness, high ceilings and hanging lights. [Ni Ni would so be diggin' this. Her and her interior decor mind!] The best part is the huuuuge deck out front. It's beautiful scenery on this strip of the city. Charlotte reminds me of Atlanta a little bit. We got off on our exit and I could've sworn we were at the exit for the Phillips Arena area.
So I'm at the coffee shop. Happy, so very happy! Praising Jesus! Spending SUNDAY the way I love to spend Sunday!
SONDAY--rest, worship, love others, beautiful weather, in a coffeeshop, sweet surprises, productiveness, and creative time.... so good, sooo sooo gooood!
And what's even more fun is that I found a hippie store! I was checking out the shopping on this block and found one of my new favorite stores! The name struck me, "The Bag Lady" and inside I found many, many treasures! I even chatted with a cool person who works there and that just added to the 'coolness' of "Mel's special day"- says Mr. "S". I probably won't get home until midnight or something. BUT I'll be Georgia bound again soon!
Now that I've journaled- I feel myself calming down. haha
HAPPY,
