Beauty in the breakdown

It is finally SUMMER! Ah... Sunshine, tank-tops, shades, and lakes... All things that I love! I have been so ready for summer, I can hardly believe it is here! Well, for starters I did not get accepted into the Blinn nursing program. I found out this past Saturday and ever sine then have tried to block it out of my mind. Everyone says (and I know) that God has something so much better for me! I know this all too well, but doubt creeps in and I start to worry. It is funny, yesterday in my youth group we were talking about the power of prayer and trials that we will go through and I flipped to James 1:2-5. "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." I was finding it for my group, and almost had to chuckle with how much it applied to my life. I am learning to be at a place where I do not have to have a plan, but just riding along with the plan my Heavenly Father has for me.

On to a happier note, I am (other than school) so overjoyed and in love with life and my amazing Creator! I am experiencing new things and beauties with Him everyday! I am going to be the children's intern for Champion Fellowship and volunteering with Jr.High and High School! I am so pumped about serving and hopes the kids see Christ this summer and not me.

I am also still going to El Salvador, August 2-9, and am so excited about it! My mom went to El Salvador a few weeks ago and her stories made me want to leave right now! God is so faithful and amazing! His beauty is incomprehensible and I cannot wait to love on and share Christ's some orphans from El Salvador!

That's all that is new, I will be updating more!
