5,6,7,8 I think that your really great.


"I call to God and the Lord saves me."
Psalms 55:16








So here I am sitting in panera bread blogging.
I have been extremely stressed lately. There is so much going on with me! from school stress, to family to friends. I've had to make a few very tough decisions lately that have me hurting in one way or another, but I know that God will heal that in me. I've given everything to Him, my time and summer, ect. I want Him to be able to use me  in whichever way He pleases, it's just so hard to give things up without seeing His plan in full. I'm trying to hold on and have faith, and I know He knows what He's doing! It's just so hard to sit back, be patient, and wait for the Lord. But, I will surely continue to do so. 


Some good news, is my big sister Angie had a baby boy Wednesday afternoon:) I'm so very excited and filled with joy! His name is Drake, and I knew the  whole time he would be a boy. this is her third and the other two are girls, so in my heart I knew her husband needed a boy and I knew that that's what God was going to provide :o) My family and I are going to Illinois to visit in a couple of weeks and I could not be more excited. My closest friend Rachel is going to fly up and her and I are going to stay an extra week with my grandma having some girl time and such before summer starts, I am sooo incredibly excited!!



After a lot of praying and consulting with God, He's shown me
where I'm suppose to be this summer. I'll be working at New Life Camp as a camp counselor, and though that means sacrificing a lot of other things, He's assured me this is where He wants me. It's so interesting to see the way that God works, from last summer, being my first summer completely away from Camp, to this summer, being completely there the entire summer. I'm very excited and nervous all in one. It's an interesting feeling, to say the least.




Classes for me end in a few weeks, it's hard to believe that at the end of this semester, I have one more year left of high school.  I'm so very anxious to see what He's going to do with me come next fall! It's going to be great. 


Anyways, I think this is about it.
