Last night I went to the youth service at church to help lead the seventh grade girls in the discussion questions. The questions were about times in our lives when God blessed us because we let go and trusted Him. It made me think back...

To my first major mission trip in the 8th grade. I went to El Paso and Mexico, and it was great to see how God moved despite the youth of everyone on the trip.

Freshman year proved to be not such a great year at school, but a great year at church. That Spring Break I had an incredible opprotunity to go to England on a mission trip. I really lived in a Christian bubble between Christian school and church, and I really think it was the first time I was really challenged to look back at the basics of faith and share them with someone. That summer I also had the chance to go to a conference in Orlando and bond with some awesome people.

I remember summer camp the summer after sophomore year. I met so many awesome new friends, and I knew I was going to have to leave them behind...

But it was ok because I was moving on to the next phase in my life, which I've already talked about. But you know, there were a lot of things I wouldn't have been able to do if I had moved here sooner.

You've gotta love God's timing. And I'm excited to see where He's taking me in the future.

Until then, I am anxiously awaiting the summer, feel pretty unsure about what classes I should sign up for next semester, and haven't really been feeling like myself the past couple of days. Satan's mean, but I know I've established that many times before.

Well, I ought to study or something...
