Just some random thoughts
Ok .... Today is THE day that I move out of this dorm. I'm somewhat relieved, b/c I've not gotten along w/ my RA the WHOLE semester, if not the year. (Long story) But then again ... Wow. This year went by so fast. & man ... has God grown me so, so much!! It's insane, how much God has formed me & molded me this year ALONE. & ... I've grown so much in my knowledge of myself, as well. This year has been a GREAT year: New friendships, late convos into the night, discovering myself in this world & in God, learning to love as God would & as He calls us to do so, a break-up last semester, salvation!!, worry & stress from school but being reassured by God that things will be "A. OK," XA & WF nights, small group nights, working @ the Campus Callers & making $2900 total for 2 semesters for the school (yay!), learning to trust & believe in myself ... gosh, the list could go ON & ON AGAIN. Of course, if I had to pick the BIGGEST thing that has happened in my year @ SHSU, it would DEF. be my salvation! Where would I be now, if I were still the same as when I got to Sam? Seriously, the thought of that scares me to the bone. God, You have been my wings, that carry me through the everyday trials of life. You are amazing!! My strength, my rock, my Father, my EVERYTHING!
4 days .... Tenerife, Spain. How AMAZING is that! Never thought I'd be going, actually ... When I saw that I had to raise $1700 to go to Tenerife about 2 mths ago, my <3 literally dropped to the floor. But God ... He amazed me by sending in the $ I needed, right on time! How crazy is that ... God is just so promising, & so faithful. & now ... I must prepare myself to allow God to use me, to change someone's life. & that someone could be anyone ... A person in London (where our first plane lands, then we connect to go to Tenerife), or in Tenerife, where we will be staying for about a week (it's a day 1/2 there, a day 1/2 back). God, I just pray that ... You open me up to the Holy Spirit, so that You can come filter through my every thought, word, & action, in order to lead someone to You. Just one person, Lord, is more than zero. I am willing, God!! Use me, Father.
I prob. won't be online til tomorrow night or Saturday, just to tell you all. (Spending the night @ Laura's, then coming home Friday) But ... I hope that you all have a GREAT weekend, & STAY SAFE & have fun this summer! Keep in touch .... You all can reach me on my AIM sn or email me (it should be on my info page ... if not, leave a comment & ask for the info). May God bless you all, my friends, w/ what you do, who you are, & what you learn this summer! :) Love you all. Thanks for being there for me this year. Hope it only continues into next year! :)
