Whoa! Where did that summer go? I'm so excited for what this year has to bring. Granted I had to go through the decision of changing my major out of the music department but I am still ready for this new change. I also live in a different dorm, with people I sorta knew but not really. I have a new RA--who happens to be fabulous, might I add. Everything seems like new to me.
There are so many new people on campus-it's crazy! There have been people that I was friends with last year that I have become even closer with this year. I also have been making new friends, which is always a bonus.
Ever since my mom passed away I have this new perspective on a lot of things. All of the hardships, heartaches, and sorrows that I dealt with last year-never thought I would really make it mind you- have really helped me become who I am today. (Even though she passed away 4 months ago.) God has made everything like new. He has created a like new faith in me, strength, joy, praise, worry free. For He has made my mom like new, even though it wasn't the way we had imagined it. There was something that a woman said at church when she closed the message for that Sunday morning and it really struck me. I would love to share with you
She said "Don't let anyone tell you that your struggles are because of a lack of faith." whoa! that seriously hit home. She also began talking about how that's the whole part of being a Christian. Us as Christians are going to suffer for Christ's sake and it's not because of our lack of faith. If we didn't suffer for Jesus, then we would be mediocre Christians. We wouldn't be able to be much of an impact because we wouldn't see how Jesus brought us out of the suffering and increased our faith in the process.
With this everything comes up with new light, or as I like to say-Like New.
So, I guess that's my motto for this year. How everything became like new and is shinning brighter than ever.
I'm super stoked for this year. (In case you couldn't tell)
