Renewal

So many new things going on lately! I was so nervous about starting another season of school, another season of extreme business. I got so seriously burnt out last semester- so this year I am trying to be careful. God is so good, He is really reminding me that I am a different place completely and things will not look the same at all.

Where to even start. Well, my first week of school were brutal.. I did not want to be there at all and was a tad discouraged about it. But then I had my first Social Work class and things just seemed to "click." My new favourite moment is that sudden realization that you are EXACTLY where you are suppose to be. You get an adrenaline rush of extreme joy and complete peace and satisfaction, because you know that THIS is what you were meant to do, THIS is WHO YOU ARE! If you have never felt that feeling, you need to keep going until you do. It is epic.

I also have started a kids church- which let me tell you is no easy task... but at the end of every Sunday I am so happy and satisfied. I love the kids I minister too so deeply. They teach me so much and they are ALL so completely beautiful and gifted. I am so blessed to have such an amazing opportunity to teach these kids about Jesus and watch them grow.

Also. my best friend is moving in with me this weekend. I am so happy to live with her again! We have lived apart for almost a year now, which is so crazy! It has been good for us.. but I am so excited to live with her again! To laugh lots and stay up late with cereal and Buffy when we know we should be doing homework. Oh the beauty of it all. I love her to bits. I love all my friends to bits! Pretty stoked for Meredith moving to Strasbourg too, to embark on a new adventure. She deserves an adventure!!!

I can't believe how awesome things are turning out so far this year. God is really so, so, good to me. I am in awe of everyday and I am really, really happy. I am falling deeply in love with God's heart again too, which makes me so joyful and relieved. I thought I had lost my ability to feel that pure love burning in me. But Jesus is renewing me. He has taken me through a season of hell, and brought me into a season of life.
