Its been a while

So I have this blog...which I haven't updated in over a month. I figured it would be a good time to start back up since most of the day I've been catching up on sleep. A quick overview on life's journey the last month: I was home and got to be continually encouraged by God's beautiful creation every day and experience how he is working in my family's life. Which bring such joy to my heart, knowing that he is taking care of what I wish I could be doing. There was grief, laughter, tears, joy and an abundance of growing as a family. God gave me an overwhelming sense of peace and provision. This summer He provided for me in ways that I didn't even know I needed to be provided for. My faith in him is never perfect but he continues to be my rock and for that I am thankful. In August I found out that I got an internship with The SOLD Project which is an organization that raises awareness for child prostitution and raises funds to sponsor children in Thailand so they have a chance of receiving a better education and begin to break the cycle of poverty and slavery. I am so excited about this and it is something God has placed so strongly on my heart...I'm sure there will be more later.

I'm now at school. And I didn't realize how much I missed living in this community. It has been a whirlwind of seeing friends, starting classes, getting books and walking into the wrong classes. But I love it. I am living with one of my best friends and it is a huge blessing and joy to come home to her every day. My classes and professor's are amazing and I think I've hit my semester when I actually want to go to class and learn. Which is a first since school is usually not my forte. That's why God gave me my sister aka other half...she does the school...I mostly play. :) So I'm excited for this semester and what God is going to do in my life and in the relationships that I have built.

On that note...I miss my summer friends but it is such a joy to be able to have amazing relationships with people and come back to them. I love my friends and they have become such a huge part of my life. I know that God s going to work this year and there are so many things that he is already doing! I just love it!

So this last month has been crazy and I seem to be caught in a never ending excitement. But I love it. I've already embarrassed myself in front of my professors, learned why I never played hand-eye sports, am being encouraged by so many and getting the chance to do the same back. This will be a great semester...I just know it.
