First of all, I read this blog and it hit me hard this morning….

Second of all, school is out for the summer, and God is good! =) This year has been a big struggle for me! I have had some hormonal problems so I have been working with my doc to even those out, which has been a journey to say the least! The time when I didn’t know was probably the hardest. I felt crazy and didn’t know why. Once I discovered that I wasn’t crazy, life was a lot better! I could focus on understanding when I was overreacting or being oversensitive and trying to fight those feelings and emotions and be happy again! Isn’t it interesting the curve balls that get thrown our way!

Another difficult thing this year was figuring out my time! I have always been a procrastinator, but with the last couple of months that is not an option. I am taking a number of units and then doing a ton of stuff outside of that! The hard part is fitting in the boyfriend and friends to the mix without going delusional! It has been so good to get organized and to make priorities, but it has been sooo difficult as well! =)

ISP…international service projects has definitely been difficult, but also so good! God has been using this to speak to me in so many different ways! I am praying now to know for sure if I am supposed to be on the mission field full time! For me, that has been a difficult journey of finally accepting that fact and not letting my plans for the future get in the way! That is why this was so impacting to me because I am still trying to make the decision daily to follow the Lord and not let the things of this world govern my decisions…

Speaking of ISP, God has done great things in my fund-raising! Those of you who actually read my blog, know that I published a post asking for support monetarily. God has provided in miraculous ways! I do not have the complete $3300, but in order to go I had to have within $1000 of that, so $2300. All of this came in and more! I will be over the $2300 very shortly and all of this was done by prayer! It is nearly impossible to raise $1600 in a week on a college students budget, but my GOD did that! 

This year, although difficult, has taught me so much! I have learned more this year than I have in my whole life! God is just doing great things in me and through me and I’m excited to continue to tell you how my summer is going to turn out! God is good all the time!! All the time, God is good!!!
