joy in simplicity.

Whew! The past couple of weeks have been crazy. I had been wondering two weeks ago how in the world I was going to get through the next month, because I figured it would be low key and I wouldn't have anything to do. I'm laughing now that I even thought that. Between taking my GED on the 28th and 29th of April, to doing my first hip-hop performance on the 1st of this month, to my brother graduating this past Saturday, to finishing up Awana, to preparing to jet off to Minnesota and making sure I hang out with all of my friends before I leave, it's been busy busy busy! Honestly though, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'd much rather be busy then just waiting for the day to come. I'm happy to be back at my little spot here on the internet, and hope to blog a bit more before I leave. Probably won't have the time or energy for that at the end of the day after chasing 2nd-5th graders around all week long.

When I look at what I have ahead of me I can't help but get super excited. I'm realizing more and more as the days go by that this really is where I'm supposed to be this summer, and also realize that there will be challenges, but that I will need to lean of God and trust Him through the process of adjusting to a new environment. And being thousands of miles away from home. Minnesota isn't anything like good old South Florida. I'm grateful that God is showing me these things before I leave, rather after I get up there and I'm completely uncomfortable. Knowing that it will be a challenge makes me excited for the work that God will do inside of me and through me this summer. I hope to blog a bit more about what I'm feeling and doing before I head off for the summer. Stay tuned! :-)
