A New Song to Sing

It's been a whole month since I've been home and truthfully the longest I've ever spent away from home but I couldn't be happier. This place feels so much like home and it's definitely growing on me more and more as the days go by. This is honestly the happiest I've felt in a very long time. Actually, happy may be the wrong word. Happiness is dependent on circumstances at times, joy is being able to still feel content or peaceful no matter the circumstances, or so I suppose. Regardless, I do not regret for any moment following the call I heard to come here. The blessings are astounding and I finally feel purposeful and on the right track in my life, and for myself that is the greatest feeling in the world. Now life here isn't perfect mind you. It's still life and there are still challenges. It is college so there is tons of homework (did I say tons?) and many other decisions. Not living at home has been quite the big step too and with all this added on...

It barely feels like I've been here only a week and a half. It feels like a lifetime... or at least a month lol. I could never have imagined such good things to come from going here. It's by stepping out in faith that God has really started to reward me and reveal His will to me, (romans 12:2 for those who remember how big that was in my life two summers ago! :O) So many worries and prayers I had coming into briercrest have already been answered. Two that come to mind are; I wanted a roommate that would be my bestfriend. God took this desire to a whole new level and has brought Rebecca into my life in ways that I could never have imagined. She is such a great friend already and I feel like I have known her forever, we can talk about anything and just support each other. I was praying for a female mentor and have found one. Rather she approached me which was even better and I cannot wait to see what capacities she will be there for me in this new stage/walk of life. Brie...

It's time to start class tomorrow, not totally sure how i feel about that but i'm sure it will be worth it. It's crazy how much has happened in these past two days and all of the amazing people I've met so far. I absolutely love it here. God wants me here and I'm so excited to find a place that feels so much like home already. even with all thats going on with new adjustments God is so big and is giving me the peace that surpasses all understanding. I know this is going to be an amazing year filled with challenges, struggles, praises and joy. Youth ministry is sweet and my prof is honestly the best. I think for so long I've wanted and desired so many things and have made myself have various passions but that's not necessarily Gods ideal for my life. Once I let God show me what He has, and His ideals for me, I just feel an unexplainable and peaceful desire and passion ignite inside myself for youth ministry that I can't even explain. yes i love music ...

I can't even believe that two months have flown by, I'm graduated, 18, summer camp is done and now 6 days until I leave for saskatchewan. Life is crazy somedays The reason for this blog is so that everyone can get a chance to keep up with me and see from a more personal view how my time in saskatchewan is going and just where life may take me over the next month, year, 5, 10 years and who knows where else. So follow me on my new journeys as I follow Him, the One who is calling my life to bigger things than I would have ever imagined for myself.
