i'm back.

there has been so much happening that there is no way on earth i could possibly bring you up to speed in every area of my life. but i can fill you in on the two things i am most excited about right now. 1. camp. i was hired as an AC, which most of you probably know. but i am so excited. i know that i will be stretched more than imaginable, and i know at times it will probably suck. but there is no other way can imagine spending my summer. the opportunity to grow relationships with campers and fellow staff is something i've been looking forward to and i cannot wait until this summer! 1. college. now, here's the thing. if i could make my decision right this second, i would go to Belmont. no doubt about it. but everytime i tell my parents that's where i want to go, they tell me to keep thinking and praying about it. so i do. and i still know that's where i am supposed to be. so i tell them again. it's a huge cycle. i have to make a decision before May 1. after visiting Fayetteville a couple weeks ago and sitting down to chat with Chris Tuttle and Niki Mangan, i was reassured that Belmont was the place God wanted me. i felt pressured to go to U of A because of financial reasons but Niki pointed out that not following God's plan would cost a whole lot more than the loans i will have to take out. it was a good reality check. i also pretty much found a roommate at Belmont. this may sound like not a big deal, but for me it is. that is one of the things i was praying hardest for, and as soon as this girl messaged me, i knew that God had us in mind and there was a plan for us. so, i don't know. i guess through all this i'm learning patience and perseverence in prayer. i know that the decision is ulitmately mine, but there does need to be unity in my house. hopefully in a couple days i will have time to get back on and share what God has been teaching me lately. i simply don't have the time and room to do it right now. this post is long enough as is. so, for now, i hope you all have beautiful days and are reminded constantly of the love and joy and deliverance that our beautiful Savior gives us every day.
