Time for another update. For the moment, life is good. I wish I could say that it wasn't so up and down...but I can't. I'm learning to trust, but I still waver sometimes.
I still feel like Camp War Eagle is where I am supposed to be this summer. I had a good talk last night with my friend Diana who is working at Kanakuk this summer. She really encouraged me about it all. I'm still not ecstatic about how things turned out, but for now I am just going to serve where God has placed me and hope for the best.
Yesterday was crazy as Tuesdays always are. Work from 7 am to 9....class from 9:30 to 12:20...and then there was lunch. Basically I love getting to eat lunch with my friends everyday. That's something I really missed out on last semester. Yesterday we all worked a crossword puzzle for like half an hour and almost finished it for once. Typically, our Tuesday and Thursday lunches are devoted to crosswords and sudoku...we're dorks, I know. After lunch, my group skipped astronomy because we were mad about our grades for group work. Then work again....the guys' basketball game :) ....a night lab...and some cardio at the HPER to finish off the day. Then I stayed up late doing laundry and talking on the computer. But laundry was my priority of course... ;)
I'm pretty stoked about my family coming up this weekend. My little sister has never been up here to see my dorm or anything.
So like I said before, God's teaching me a lot right now about trusting Him in everything. And I'm not gonna lie.....IT'S HARD! Gosh, lately I've just been so frusterated and impatient with life. Blessed be the name of the Lord. And then there are those moments that just lift my Spirit and remind me of how amazing God is and how amazing my friends really are. Blessed be the name of the Lord. "I have learned to be content in any circumstance..." I'm serious guys, if You don't want God to test You, don't pray for Him to teach you to trust Him. He'll put you in a situation where the only thing you can do is trust Him. And it's hard and it hurts and you grow like crazy because You're simply leaning on Him. And eventually it gets better....and He gives you joy...and You're so much stronger than you were before because you've learned His heart just a little better.
When Your heart beats, I wanna feel it.
When Your voice speaks, I wanna hear it.
When your eyes cry, I wanna catch Your tears.
I wanna know You.
Just a quick sidenote: I can now play the above song ^ on the guitar. Exciting!!
