This is such a daunting task…trying to sum up my life/my story, on this blog! But here goes…
First I just want to say, I think I have reached a turning point in my relationship with God this summer. He has handed me an ultimatum, saying, “Tabitha, it’s either my way or the highway from here on out; and I love you and will you please chose my way?!” hehe I’m so excited, because I think God has allowed me to see a glimpse of his vision for my life and it’s indescribably exciting!
So, first things first, I grew up in a pretty supportive Christian household. Nothing more than your average Christian home; we had our flaws, but most of the time it was a pretty love filled and Christ focused household. But a lot of my relationship with God came about because of habit and expectation.
Since my freshman year of college however, I have been able to grow on my own accord. And by grow I mean, mess up and learn from my mistakes and start over again! God blessed me with an amazing network of friends from day one at the University of Wisconsin Stout. It’s fun to look back at how these relationships have shaped me in the last five years.
My sophomore year of college my parents went through a separation and God has used that to grow my relationship with my mom, who I consider to be one of my best friends. I think He is still working through all of this though, trying to soften my heart and bring about forgiveness and reconciliation. Some day I will understand all of the Lord’s orchestrating!
Last December I graduated with my degree in Interior Design, of which I’m not sure what to do with! Initially I felt so lost as all my friends were moving away, most to pursue careers. As my good buddy John Mayer puts it, I was going through something of a quarter life crisis at the time. My heart was lost and breaking all at the once; trying to define myself and what my next step is. Now I see how God needed to truly break my heart in order to prepare me for what’s next…the World Race of COURSE! I am thankful for all the challenges that have brought me to this point and cannot wait to be refined even further….
Some of these images just represent things that I like, and some represent some of the beauties and adventures that truly breath life into my soul.
