This Amazing Semester...

This semester has been amazing, surprising, odd, hard, and frustrating, but a huge blessing. There has been a lot of change. I started nursing school, begin getting really involved helping with the youth at church, have made a lot of new wonderful friends, and sadly grown away from some of the people that I've been really close friends with in the past. Kind of drifted away from BCM too...

But, I have been so blessed by these teenage girls that I've been pouring into. Of course, I've loved leading their small group, and just getting to know them, but they have given me so much too. There have been a few times this semester when I've been going through a hard time, and God has definitely used them. They'll say something or do something, and I can just see Christ through them so much! Sometimes we'll get to small group, and before I can say anything they're asking me how my week has been! I'm like wait, I thought that I was the one who was supposed to be taking care of them!

I've also just been so amazed at the grace that God has given me this first semester of nursing school. He blessed me an absolutely amazing clinical group and clinical instructor, and really... overall, it has all been a somewhat smooth process... in some very small ways... haha. And I've always wanted to be a nurse so I could go overseas and serve people and share Christ with them, but even in the US, there are so many sick people, who are just completely worn out and they need someone to remind them that there is hope and they can have joy. And I have just learned so much this semester about so many different things, and I know it is only because Christ has given me the grace and patience to be able to.

So... the moral of this post, even change that leads into all new things and into the unknown, can be made incredibly amazing by God.
