well time for an update
Life is...changing. I guess I didn't expect anything different but somehow it is still hard to adjust to things. Here is the short version:
I am job hunting as a college graduate (sort of). I will officially be done in august after one more summer class that I had to retake for health issues. I am looking at one job in Chicago and a number of possibilities in GA. My heart is in GA, but I love the church in Chicago. After a really good talk with Eryn, I realized that God really was probably telling me to go to GA. I love the community, they need more help then the Chicago church would, and I heard while praying (a while ago granted) that God wanted me down there as much as I wanted to be down there. I guess I just want to test it not so that I am safe or secure in things, but so that I am not taking discernment and prayer lightly. Oh well I am choosing not to worry about it. God said to worry about my last class and getting things done while at home. So that is what I choose.
I am dating an amazing guy named Josh and we have been together a little over 2 months. He is a sweetheart with an amazing love for God, self discipline, and helpful nature. I have found things that bug me about him, but it is all personality stuff that is easy to get past. I love him very much and look forward to seeing him again in mid-July.
I help at my church off and on and actually got to preach on father's day. Some of my friends got to see the taped version and even though they never told me what they thought, I think I did alright. I teach the teen class this coming sunday and help lead worship when I can. I sometimes feel like my small, hometown church sees me as some prodigy to be proud of and brag about, but I really don't think they are supposed to do that. lol. I dont know. they can worry about that. I have enough things to keep track of.
I miss people! I miss Bible study friends, college friends, and even some home friends that are busy and I never get to see them. I miss Josh already and I just saw him Sat. I miss travis, jeremy, danielle, sarah, and so many others. I still dont feel at home here but I do understand more and more why God told me to stay here for now.
Well I got to go. My mom has now told me to do three seperate things in ten minutes while I am sitting here trying to do things on the computer. leave me alone, woman! lol but yes I do need to do them so bye for now
Love
