Almost There

I have a goal.

It sounds simple.

I want to be not only content,

but amazingly and beautifully joyful

in the present.

It sounds simple, but it takes a lot of strength.

It takes putting on my armor of God

and fighting the culture I live in.

I am almost there.

So, guys, before I post some pictures of my half room

(I have a roomie this semester),

let me tell you where I am going after I graduate in May.

I am embarking on the World Race!

The World Race is an 11 month mission trip to 11 different countries,

meeting specific needs in each country.

You can find out more at:

worldrace.org

For those 11 months, I will not be active at all on this blog,

because I obviously won't be thrifting. lol

BUT, you will be able to see and read about

the journey God is carrying me through at

meganweber.theworldrace.org

You can also donate to my trip

(please pray about doing that.)

at that same website (:

It is very crazy,

and very impossible,

but my God will make it happen.

It is what he has called me to do.

So, as I said,

this semester I have a roommate,

so I have tried my best to take pictures that disclude

her half of the room.

Instead of just sharing one big room like normal people,

we used our desks and chairs to create a divider to make two smaller rooms.

This way, I get the illusion of my own space...

I made this banner inspired by one of my life songs right now,

Take Courage by Bethel.

The chorus says,

"Take courage, my heart.

Stay steadfast, my soul.

He's in the waiting;

He's in the waiting.

Hold onto your hope.

Watch your triumph unfold.

He's never failing;

He's never failing."

Amen!

God has been teaching me and testing me and building me and likening me

in this season.

Sometimes it's hard to see why he does what he does,

but the word says in 1Peter

That faith that still stands after being tested

has more value than gold.

It is priceless.

Through this season,

God is showing me by trial and perseverance

just how precious my faith is...

So, soon

(because I get to go home in less than two weeks!!!),

I will be taking pictures of little piles of thrifty things I've collected

throughout the semester--

aside from the decorations that are already adorning my half room.

I hope I get to post those pictures soon, Berries!

Above and below, the picture frame you see

and the gorgeous swag of berries you see

have both been recently thrifted by yours truly.

The frame was in a fill-a-trashbag-for-five-dollars,

and the clusters of berries were 6 for $.50 at a different thrift store.

I  threw these two toile-looking tiles in the fill-a-bag as well

to use as coasters. (:

The painted wooden box below was also snatched up at the
fill-a-bag store for $3 on its own.
So worth it!
I love it. It's amazing.

There is a lot of good change coming...

*wink, wink*

I am so excited about how God is working!

Praise Jesus, y'all!

Thank you so much for stopping by,

and I will post again within the next couple of months ;)

It's almost Thanksgiving break! AAAHHH, YAY!

Until next time,

Lots of Love,
