Whoa. These past 2 weeks have been chocked full of life and God... more so than usual haha
Lemme tell you about them =)
This past weekend I traveled down to dear Clinton, to see some dear friends and to see my dearly beloved choir, Singers, perform their last concert of the year. It kind of blew my mind to think that this school year has gone by already... it didn't fly but at the same time it kinda did. I stayed with a good friend by the name of Sarah Kate who just so happens to be my future roommate (YAY!) and got to hang out with a lot of people I haven't seen in awhile! Another plus was that I didn't tell many people I was coming down this past weekend so I got to surprise people :D
I did do one thing that weekend that I never thought I'd do: I climbed the mill in downtown Clinton; didn't even know people did that! I don't really know how high up I was but I do know that it took my spit a looooong time to get from my mouth to the ground hahaha
One thing I realized/felt/knew as I was down there was the surpassable peace I was feeling - the feeling of rest. I can't tell you how long I've been needing and craving to feel that. Another thing that was brought to my attention was the fact that I definitely have my work cut out for me there. While going to another college would be a fresh start, I believe God brought MC back into the picture as a way to be a living testimony. God told me that MC was my mission field, my place to be, to thrive, to show all of Him and not me. That will require work, being set solidly and emotionally in the Lord, and there will be bad days, oh there will be bad days
BUT
He's got this! What I consider "the best" for me is my point of view. Not His point of view on what's best for me. That lesson has come into play major lately: Wanting to fix problems, deal with people who bother me, know what to do about frustrating circumstances, how to handle confusion when it comes to my heart, God has been CONTINUALLY saying, "Kendall! Quit looking at what YOU think is best! I know what's best for you so SHUTUP!" Maybe not quite like that, but pretty close :)
Yeah, I don't know how this next school year is going to go, what all I'm going to run into this time around, or even how the summer is gonna go, but I'm not really worried about it. I know for a fact that God is using and is going to use me and I'm just resting in that =)
