I have a lot of exciting things that happened this last week. Last Monday, I found out that I GOT A JOB!!!  I will be working at Rock Church this summer as their "summer student"; helping out with the Sunday School program, vacation Bible school, and around the office. It is a full time position so I will be busy this summer, but I am so excited! It truly is a blessing from God, and I am looking forward to getting started.


     On Tuesday I found out I was chosen to be on the admissions call team, and we have begun meeting every day to recruit students for Masters next year. It really is a cool opportunity to talk to students in the same situation I was in a year ago. This place has changed my life, and its not a stretch to say that it could change theirs, too.


     Wednesday night was O2 night, where as small groups we split up and have our own service for our kids. We talked about the importance of quiet times with God, and I spoke as well as led worship for our group at the end. That night I realized how much I have grown this year; I came in an insecure, fearful girl, and am leaving a confident, fearless girl. Although I am still fighting insecurities, I've realized that I am the only thing holding me back. God will use me only as much as I let him. I won't be silent anymore!


     At the end of the year, every class is responsible to run a chapel. They come up with everything; the theme, worship team, message, and everything that goes along with it. On Thursday, I found out I was chosen to be one of the four leads for our chapel. We mediate the discussions, solve conflicts, set meeting dates and deadlines, and organize our class. It is going to be a lot of work, but I'm excited of the privilege to lead our class!


     Friday and Saturday were great days to hang out with my small group, Audax. We went to Charmaynes dance performance, and the next night a few of my girls slept over. It was great to hang out with them over the weekend!


     Sunday was Mothers Day, and my family went to my Papa's apartment to cook lunch together. Today was our turn to plan a family time; we went to my Dad's favorite restaurant called Bojangles. Then we took them to a lake nearby, were we got out a ton of pool toys we bought and had fun swimming around. I have enjoyed my Masters family a lot this year, and I know being a mom next year will be a great joy for me.


     The countdown is on: in three weeks from today, I will be HOME!
