So my last post was in January. And that was a long time ago. So much has happened since then. I suppose I'll fill you in on some highlights:
1. I worked at Camp Cherith of Western New York again this summer. What can I say.... God is there (I mean He's everywhere. But He's especially there). I always learn something new, and it always changes my life. This summer, two of the biggest things I learned were that prayer can do amazing amazing things, and to not rely on your feelings. I could write a whole 500 blog posts about that, but I'll refrain, cause there are other things I want to say.
2. I began my senior year of college. which is outrageous. I can't believe I'm graduating from college. It's very exciting because it means that I'm going to be out in the "real world" soon. But terrifying because I feel like I just got comfortable here, and now I have to move on. But I guess that's how life works, right?
3. I'm trusting God to bring in money for another trip to Guatemala. As soon as I told my best friend about this opportunity, she said "Do it. Trust God." And it has been an incredible adventure so far, and the plane hasn't even taken off. It's been great to have this experience trusting God, and being surprised by they people He has lead to support me (if you'd like a support letter, let me know, please). I go in February, and I couldn't be more excited to see this face again. :)
4. I am senior class president. Which is crazy. I'm graduating early, so some people in my class don't even know I'm in their class, let alone their president.
5. I have been incredibly blessed by being a part of the 2014 Social Work class. We are a little family, and have the best times together. I love them so much.
6. While I may be trusting God in some areas (i.e. Guatemala), I've realized it's a whole heck of a lot more hard to trust Him with other things (i.e. the health of friends, plans after graduation, my mental health, etc.). It's just so easy to tell someone to trust God, but a lot harder when you try to do it yourself. Worrying is a big part of it. I just want to worry worry worry and think about all these problems I'm having. And I don't understand why I can't just rest in the fact that God has it under control, and that He's going to take care of it. Resting in God sounds so much better, but it's so much more difficult for me, and I just don't understand.
Welp... That has been a little recap on my life.
Alana- those feelings of worry about graduating and what's next are totally normal! Don't beat yourself up for feeling them! It's a huge step to take after 17 or so years of schooling. I definitely felt the same way! We are all here to support you and I know that you'll be led down incredible paths! Love ya!
