Busy actually might be an understatement. I feel like almost every moment is filled with something....but I wouldn't change a second of it.
God is molding me into a new person. The hardest part of this process so far is letting go of certain pieces of the old person. There are pieces that bring me comfort and put me at ease just because of their familiarity. God is showing me that I have to surrender all the areas of my life though. If I never left my comfort zone, I would never have to lean on him for strength. I am called to give up EVERYTHING for the sake of the cross. In doing that and living a life that I've emptied myself from and allowed him to fill, I will be a better servant, lover of people, friend, daughter, sister, roommate, and ultimately be able to make a bigger impact for him and his kingdom.
I am breaking into a million pieces, but my heart is overwhelmed with joy! I am living out the words of the old hymn "..sweetly broken, wholly surrendered." Sometimes people don't understand that concept, but being broken is SO very sweet. It allows you to come back together as a stronger, more mature, resilient child of christ. My heart is swelling every day as I spend time with my creator and grow closer to him, as I get to know the people here and continue to build Christ-based friendships and relationships with them. I am so blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing group.
I wish I had time to keep going, but my homework must get done at some point!
