Every September for the past few years, I have had the opportunity to go to Windy Gap for Women's Weekend. Each year has looked a lot different but one thing I can always count on is being forced to slow down.
When I'm forced to do this I am also forced to really listen to Jesus speak to my heart, reveal himself in new ways, and teach me anew how to rest in Him. So why don't I create space in my life to do that more often?? I'm sure I feel this way every year, but this year I felt especially ready for a weekend that reminded me of who I am in Christ and allowed space for me to meditate on evidences of his grace in my life.
I'm not gonna lie, this year also held a special anticipation and excitement that no other year ever has because JEN HATMAKER was the speaker and my very best friends were coming from all over to spend a weekend together. My heart literally felt like it was going to burst at the thought of so much gospel goodness and soul refreshing laughter.
It was simply the best.

Breakfast in Asheville before goodbyes
I am so thankful for this group of girls who I have lived SO much life with. Their constant encouragement, support, prayers, and authenticity are such a picture of community in my daily life. I only wish we could live this way on each other's back porches, not just via technology :( Maybe one day....
Until next time, aka #austin2015
