I'm beginning to see that light at the end of the tunnel, school is finally falling into place and the end is near... well sort of!
As I close one chapter of my college career it's such a relief yet I see this huge mountain ahead of me to overcome the next phase. There are so many people that have shared in this journey for me to reach my goal. My family has been a huge. Even though they don't have a clue about how the whole college process goes they've been there to listen to me complain and get excited about all this college "stuff". They have helped me financially as well. My friends have been a huge support (sometimes a distraction too). They have taken the time to tutor me, be patient with me, understand the demands, encourage, and volunteer their time to hear my speak. I am ever so grateful for all of this!
Now I ask the same of you all! Please do the same for this next phase. Please be in prayer for my dedication and perseverance to grow and continue. It's the last half and it might be the most challenging.
Also I am very thankful for my Heavenly Father and the strength He has given me to press on through it all. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Him guiding my path through this life. He has carried me through the hardest moments and blessed me with some of the sweetest moments.
He is now leading me to take a long-deep breath this semester. I've been in constant school year round since Fall of 2010, it's time for a break. I need to refocus and let classes fall into place. A few months off shouldn't hurt to badly. This semester is to focus on me, my walk with Him, growing and preparing for the next chapter of school. Also I'm going to focus in new ministries and opportunities to serve Him more wholeheartedly!
Even in the midst of the stress of these final few weeks of preparation "he will quiet me by his love" (Zeph. 3:17b), "to guide our feet into the way of peace" (Luke 1:79b), "to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul, O my God, in you I trust." (Psalm 25:1,2a). His love quiets my soul, He gives me peace as I allow him to guide my footsteps and I trust in His ways.
