"All my bags are packed... I'm ready to go." I sang that song yesterday morning. Exams were FINALLY over! After packing last minute things in my car (because the majority of my stuff was packed with the help of the great Mikey Shirley the night before) , cleaning the room, saying sad goodbyes, and being checked out by the lovely Elizabeth Frye... I was homebound! Normally I would be very sad to leave AU and don't get me wrong, I am going to miss the amazing individuals that I have encountered along the way, but other activities are calling my name!
This year to say the least was an experience like no other. It had it's ups and downs. I had great days and terrible days. I was broken and I was restored. I had success and I made mistakes. I had great adventures and I had just boring days. I gained new friends but kept many old ones! I could sit here and give you a play by play about what happened this year but in short: I grew, I flourished, I thrived, I blossomed in this one year than I have in my entire life. We are halfway finished my friends, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for the next two years!
The next couple of weeks are going to consist of seeing as many people as possible in the short amount of time that I am home and getting spiritually prepared for this summer. In the next couple of weeks I will post a blog probably dedicated to FUGE and specific ways that you can be praying!!! Right now, I ask for prayers that I am able to get focused about this summer and get adequate rest so I can be physically ready for what's in store!
Since I have been home, I have been rather sad. Several individuals I know have become very very ill. Selfishly we want them to recover but it has been said in His word that better is one day in the courts of the Lord than thousands elsewhere! These individuals I know are ready to meet the Lord when the time comes! Fortunately healing is in the hands of our God and out of our control. Big prayers going up for these individuals and their families and friends in the coming days! In 2 Corinthians 1: 3-7 we are reminded that our God is the God of comfort! What a peace and what a blessing!
