Update

It has been four months since I last blogged, and I want to apologize. I truly do love writing and sharing my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and such. I have been quite bad at this of late though, and it is in large part because of the hectic schedule I have. Am I always busy? No, not really. Sometimes, I am quite free actually. But when I do end up being busy, I am over loaded, and so I normally chose to use my free time for something relaxing, like watching Netflix, or hanging out with friends.
I am going to be more free this summer though, and I am hopefully going to be blogging a lot more often, and hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. I really do love writing. Now I just need to make the time for it.

Anyways, for this blog, I just want to give a little update on myself and how the Lord has been able to use me this semester.

I would say of the four semesters I have been in college, this one has been the most humbling and growth filled. It began with a trip to Jamaica for Mission work, which was a wonderfully blessed time. The Lord was very present during those ten days. When I returned from there, I was back in the flow of school. This semester I'm taking 18 credits, along with working two jobs, doing Music Ministry, Household stuff, Intramurals, Life in the Spirit and I also was helping with Born of the Spirit. So basically, I have been keeping myself busy.
Besides all that, I was also able to do Steube Mission, which in itself is worthy of its own blog. Such a powerful experience.
What else has gone on? A lot of growth. I am very prideful, and the Lord has been trying to humble me, and I got to say, he has done a pretty good job. He has basically told me, on more then one occasion, that he is in charge, and it is not me. I have not come to fully appreciate it yet, but I am trying to trust the Lord and understand that he has a plan for me.
Besides the growth and the busy schedule, I am getting prepared to embark on a trip to Europe in the Fall which I am super excited about. The Lord has definitely blessed me with that.
I guess I'm just chugging along, and trying to not put my plan before the Lord's. Easier said then done.
But thanks for reading this if you did.
God is good.
