What a week it has been...

I have been so incredibly busy lately, but a good kind of busy.

I had my first COB event, which is just a fancy way of saying spring recruitment. The girls were SO AMAZING, and it turned out so good!

This week I also spur of the moment went in for a mission trip interview. I didn't really know what to expect, or if I was even 'ready' for that. It went great though, and I loved getting to know a few of the girls at the BSM a little better.

I have prayed a lot about this trip I am about to embark on. Though I am extremely excited; in some ways it is kind of intimidating due to the fact that I have never done one before. However, what is more fulfilling than working for the great commission? I was worried about not knowing how to share my faith with others, worried about not having the right words to say... but I know that God will equip me with what I need. I want others to want to know God because of me.

I also have strengthened some relationships at the BSM, and I am SO thankful for that. Last night a friend of mine prayed over me, and it was one of the sweetest moments I have ever experienced.

I have just been feeling so incredibly grateful, and that's really the only way I know to put it.

At church we've been going through a series about fresh starts... how God is a God of fresh starts. When we read the Word, there are so many people that were granted a fresh start. We also talked about what we wanted to leave behind in 2020, and bring with us in 2021, and there are a lot of things I could leave behind in 2020... but as for 2021 goes, I want to be less of me and more of Him! (John 3:30). ...feed the spirit starve the flesh!

It blows my mind how the presence of God can so drastically change a person's mood. He is so good, and I am eternally thankful for the people He has put in my life, and for making me new.

As I go about this mission trip process, and approach the trip itself, I just ask for prayer that He works through me, that I can be a light, and lead others.
