"I have decided, I have resolved, To wait upon You Lord My rock and redeemer, sheild and reward..."

So, I'm home for the summer....after an awesome semester. I learned so much about truth and love, community and forgiveness, trust and dependence on Christ. I really enjoy being home, and seeing people that have impacted my life so much, I love my job (as always: smiles), but part of me is missing. I miss BoMo, and the community I have grown so close to. There are always tons of people and my Hannah is there with me always.

I hate this torn feeling, about not knowing which community I really belong to, because I love them both. When I'm at school I miss my church and job, but when I'm home I just miss the people so much. Mel and I were talking a couple nights ago about how we felt like nomads, traveling between two homes.

I do know that I will make it through this summer, with a ton of help from the people I love, and complete reliance on Christ. But, 5 days into it, I can already tell its going to be tough, I'm just hoping I get back into the groove of things and that that will distract me.

God has continued to be faithful in answering my prayer for God to break my heart for what breaks His, and has shown that through breaking my heart for a girl here. I don't know how to explain our relationship, I'm definately not her mentor, but like a couple other girls, they just call me their big sister... but everytime we hang out, I make sure and share the truths I am learning...

I still marvel over the fact that I learn a lesson, but then look back on past sermons I've heard and realize they were saying the exact thing I learned, and then I wonder why it didn't click then, and how much easier I would have been if it had...but I'm confident that, this is all just part of God's perfect timing...and seeing Him more clearly.

I love God's humor sometimes, the things you convince yourself that would never happen, that end up happening, and could only have done so through God...I'm getting more secure in realizing that's how He teaches me a lot.

"Now, the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lords glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." -2 Corinthians 3:17-18

I am confident this passage that has stuck out to me the past 3 days as I read through 2 Corinthians is going to teach me something awesome!

"Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed."
