Pen And Paper

Almost through my first week at CCBC!! I’m all registered for classes: I will be taking Bible Study Methods (Required for 1st semesters), Ruth/ Esther (All girls class), History of Redemption (Required for 1st semesters also), Romans, and John. I also got assigned my “M1”... as we call it here.... which is basically my volunteer work I will be doing on campus. I’ll be working in the kitchen every other weekend doing evening food prep. I will be honest, it’s not what I originally wanted to do. I was hoping to be a server, and I found out later I could have requested it.... and probably still could. After thinking about it all day, I came to the conclusion, for whatever reason, this is where God wants me to be. I just decided to take whatever was given to me and believe that it was part of Gods plan. So, after that, I started getting more excited about it!! Just getting to serve where I’m needed is worth it to me. It’s all about the heart (which I will talk more about later) and the att...

"Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path!"  This verse came up a few different times in the past couple of days before I left for Bible College. And as I thought about it more, I realized how perfect this verse is for my life right now.

And this is what I am learning to do. God doesn't want us to be on the fence about trusting in Him. We need to be ALL in or nothing.  I'm beginning to realize, I've been trusting God with some things in my life…. but not all!! I'm still concerned and confused about how certain situa...

I'm so excited to introduce my new blog to whoever is reading this. I'm not really sure how to start.... So I guess I'll just jump right in!! So here we go....  This month has been so wonderful, scary, exciting, nerve-racking, awesome, difficult and all around an emotional roller coaster!! But I'm SO thankful, because I can see God's hand so clearly in all of this. It's awesome to not only be a part of His great plan, but to also be a witness of everything He has been doing around me.  In a lot of ways... my life has been building up to this moment... this time in my life..... this new chapter. And I'm ready to turn the first page. I have been fighting it for awhile.... I feel like it's all moving so fast. As if, time is the rope tied around my waist pulling me through life as I've got my heels in the ground. But I've tried to give up that fight.... and instead allow my Author, to take the pen and begin writing my new adventure.  There's b...
