The Next Step

My life has been all over the place in the past few months. There have been highs and lows, like any other person, but it's been so busy that I honestly couldn't write them all down if I tried. The end of the (school) year is approaching, which means an end to small groups, and the beginning of a new journey. What is this journey, you might ask? Well it's four letters...S.O.A.R. It's the 12-week internship that will begin for me next Saturday.

I've got to say, my thoughts and feelings going into this summer are all over the place right now. There's so many upcoming firsts for me and things that are going to stretch me and grow me and I can't wait! But at the same time, I'm completely nervous. I mean, I know I am in it for a reason. And I have done my best within the past few months to resolve any disputes among friends or family and take care of things that I'd normally procrastinate on, just so that I can have the best experience possible. I want to go into this summer with an open mind and heart for God to move in me however HE wants. I want to be challenged. I want to be used. I want to be able to open up to my fellow SOAR ladies. I want to learn what it's like to be independent and on my own for once in my life. I want to impact the lives of students for the Kingdom. I want this to be a life-changing time for me.

I'm sure many of those things will happen, but what I want most, is to be surrendered to whatever GOD wants for me. And I know that He's got my best in mind. Eight days from now, it all begins. Eight days to prepare. Eight days to pack up my room. Eight days to read my books. Eight days to spend with friends and family. Just eight days and it all starts.
