poems from the desk...

time will pass
my heart will bloom
no longer will this darkness loom

i'll take my past
and bury it deep
no longer will this darkness seep

beneath my doubt
my confidence lays
no longer will this darkness prey

compare no more
to those who have it all
no longer will this darkness fall

Weekend in KC!

Last weekend I spent in Kansas City because I had my internship interivew Friday morning and decided to spend the rest of the weekend with my friend Abby. (featured in the post below).

My weekend in Kansas City was so awesome and I felt really really blessed the whole weekend because of the following:

1. My internship interview at Bernstein-Rein went amazingly well and I barely had any anxiety going into it.
2. Saturday night, Abby and I played this game called marbles with her parents and parents' friends. It was soo fun to have a family game night.
3. Before game night on Saturday, I enjoyed a pasta, salad, and butter bread home cooked meal made by abby's mom Norma. yummyyyy.
4. I love sleeping to thunderstorms and all 3 nights I was in Kansas City, right at the time I was falling asleep, a thunderstorm would hit and i'd get to fall asleep to loud rain on the roof. It was ironic because the first night there, I was having anxiety about my interview so i turned on this Thunderstorm Sounds App on my iphone to try and fall asleep to the sound of a storm and then like an hour into that not working, a REAL thunderstorm hit and it was very peaceful. Like God being like "you don't need your phone katie, i'll provide that for you" :)
5. I got to go to Abby's church on Sunday which once again, rocked. i've been 3 times and by this 3rd time, i am convinced that her pastor is the best pastor i've ever heard. his messages are soooo clear and educational and like i can't really explain how great he explains things!!! i take like a full page of notes on his sermons everytime i've heard him. I'll definitely be going to that church when i live in KC this summer!:)
6. I felt really blessed that weekend just to have a friend like Abby who has this amazing family that opens their home to me and makes me feel very comfortable. I always look forward to visiting Abby because not only do I get to hang with one of my best friends for a whole weekend, but i get that "home" experience that i so rarely get in college. Their family really provides me with that escape from young college people and lets me enjoy family home life for a weekend!

Thanks for that weekend Abby! love you!
