Woah guys! I'm sorry for not posting in like 10 years. Life is crazy around here. SOOO much has happened since finals week!!! Okay let's see...Christmas, New Years, New Semester, new friends, DYR, Youth Councils, Revolve Tour, Woah. I have a lot to catch you up on! Well let me just say right now, that God is good. I'm learning that these trials I face bring me closer to him and strengthen my faith!!
Okay, so Christmas break was a whole month long!! It was a much needed break though! I was home most of the time, relaxing and catching up on sleep!! The new semester started January 31st. This semester is not as tough as last semester, so that's great :) I'm enjoying being at Towson this semester. I have a new group of friends, and I am doing more at the corps! I decided on a major, and added a minor! My major is Family Studies, and minor is in Psychology. Loving my classes!!
DYR was different this year. It was awesome though. JOY, which is our singing group was at a much higher level and we were challenged! DYB has raised the standard once again! We had new groups...step..and two timbrel groups..and a separate chorus.. along with the normal groups like Hands, A.C.C.L.A.I.M. and DYB! There were so many people there this year! Never seen so many people participate..it was great!
Youth Councils was great this year. Of course I missed my friends that moved away last summer! It just wasn't the same without them, but still we had a weekend of worship. God moved and hearts were changed! One of the highlights for me was seeing these kids I have known since they were 12 finally "get it." They're living life for real now, it's awesome. Another thing that i LOVED was seeing people I know have never accepted Christ before go up to the altar and accept him. That always gives me goosebumps. God is good!!
I had the opportunity to give my testimony at the Future Officer Fellowship breakfast this year. Every time I'm asked to give my testimony I have this voice in the back of my mind telling me that I shouldn't do it, but every time God uses my fear and turns it into boldness. This year I got to talk about all of the awesome things God is doing in my life, especially with calling in life. I love sharing about His love and goodness.
Every year around this time my heart starts to break! People start to hear if they're moving, friends move away, and things start to change. It's hard. This year 3 of my closest friends are moving, or have already moved away. It's hard saying goodbye, but God is going to turn this trial in to faith. I have no doubt about that. Right now it's a struggle, but later it will be a reward! :) I'm going to miss my friends so much, but I know that they are following God's plans for their lives, so that makes it all worth it. Can't wait to see how God will use them!
Well, that's basically the past 3 months in a nutshell! I'll try to post more often!! Praying for you guys all the time!!
