Hey everyone!!
I’m so sorry it’s been so long since my last post! Camp life was crazy but it was truly one of the most wonderful, fulfilling experiences if my life so far. I am so grateful for the opportunity I was given to live and work in Christian community for three months, and I am SO excited to be able to do that for the next 9 months through Gap Year!
it’s hard for me to believe that I have about a week left before flying down to Georgia. These final days in Illinois are passing by so quickly. There is so much laundry to be done, clothes to be packed, and many difficult “see you soons” say. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by what is left to be done! One of the very important lessons I took to heart over the summer is to live in the moment. I believe that right now, even if it’s difficult, I have to live in these moments of high stress and worry. It would be easy to think past them and focus on my future, but if I can’t face the stress, how can I appreciate the little joyful moments in between? I believe that the difficult, last minute stressors I’m facing now, are a fully necessary part of entering this journey prepared. As ready as I am feeling to “rip the bandaid off”, I know that everything i do now to prepare, will benefit me in the long run. I will do my very best to keep living in the moment, regardless of what that moment brings.
Please pray for me and for my team mates. I know we are all excited, but a little nervous for what these next nine months have in store. Thank you all for your support along the way! It is an amazing feeling to know that I am surrounded & uplifted by a community of believers.
Keep checking in here for updates on my journey this year! Although I don’t know exactly what will happen, I am positive that exciting news is on its way 🙂
