I never thought the end of my senior year would approach as fast as it has. As this school year is coming to a close, I often find my self agitated and confused. While many friends are signing and planning to go off to college, I can’t help but think that my plan to stay home is “lame”. I see their excitement of new housing, new people, new opportunities, and it makes me want to go right along with them. Choosing to stay home and go to Butler is the best choice for me. I mean, who doesn’t love continuing their education while sleeping in a full sized bed, having their own closet, and not having to move a single thing? This girl sure does! After a few mental breakdowns and countless prayers, my heart is finally at ease, and I don’t feel like I’m walking alone in the dark. This year has been a year of growth and learning. My classes are hard and my extracurriculars keep my calendar full but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I am sad to leave my “normal”, but I know God is beautifully orchestrating my steps and his plan for me. I can rest assured that His plans are far greater than mine, and I am perfectly okay with walking into the unknown with Him. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways and taught me many lessons throughout the year and I am so thankful for His grace and mercy. Thank you for your continued prayers and support leading up to my trip. T-minus 77 days until graduation, and 88 DAYS UNTIL Costa Rica. You all are such a blessing.
“I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future. Then you will call my name. You will come to me and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will search for me, and when you search for me with all your heart, you will find me. I will let you find me.”
Jeremiah 29:11-14
Love,
