School is Here

I’m back! Gosh, God is good. My blog is called perpetually joyful, unendingly blessed for a reason- I truly am. Summer is over and this particular summer was a hard one to say goodbye to. Camp was amazing. It was such a privilege to be able to share the love of my life with precious, impressionable 10-year-old girls. My sweet campers were at this beautiful age where they not only listen to everything that you say, but they believe it. How cool is it that I got to share the ultimate truth with them? God loves each of them so much that he sent His son to pay their debt. If you have never shared the gospel with a child, do it. Child-like faith is unlike anything else. The Lord used 28 little girls to teach me, grow me and bless me in ways that I never could have imagined.  It was such a blessing to pour out everything I had into these little girls and then see the Lord use those same little girls to fill me up in incredible ways. All in all camp was wonderful.

As soon as camp ended I headed back to good ol’ Aggieland for Impact. Let me tell you… going from being a counselor for 10-year-olds to a counselor for college freshman was quite the challenge. As hard as it was, it was so much fun to welcome the class of 2014 into the body of Christ at Texas A&M. Impact far surpassed my expectations. To tell you the truth I was not too excited about Impact but it was truly amazing. God rocked the hearts of the class of 2014 and I was sweetly reminded of why I was a part of impact in the first place.  Impact was the perfect end to a sweet, sweet summer.

Now it is September 2nd and I am four days into my sophomore year. Life is going so fast it is unreal! I couldn’t be more excited for this year. I love my classes. I love my professors. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my roommates. Young Life is about to start and God is already preparing my heart for the sweet high school kids he has called me to love. Obedience is on my heart like never before. I have no idea what this year is going to look like but I know that I want to strive to be obedient to the Lord in every aspect of my life.  School. Young Life. Relationships. Everything. I long to be obedient and to walk in accordance with His will.  What is His will for me right now? I’ll get back to you… I’m still trying to figure it out. All I know is, I can’t wait to see it unfold. 

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; 

yet not my will, but yours be done."

Luke 22:42

Besos.
