To begin this post I would just like to say...WOW! So many things have happened this past week that I don't know exactly where to begin. I guess I'll start by saying that our first week of summer fun with the 4th-6th graders was great! The kids were wonderful and really absorbed the truth that was presented to them. The bible study was the favorite part of the day for many of them which is really cool, I think. The theme of summer fun this year was the big redemption story. We took the kids through the story of creation, the fall of man, Abraham and Isaac, Moses and the passover, and we ended with Jesus. Through these stories our goal was to show how God's plan from the beginning was to have a perfect relationship of friendship with us and that everything He has done has pointed to Jesus. It was so cool to see the faces of the kids who got this! Their eyes lit up and they couldn't hide their joy as they realized just big and wonderful our God is and how perfect His plans are.
This past week was a joyful one, but it has also brought me face to face with some tough personal decisions. After recieving my financial aid information and tuition bill for college this semester, I'm having to reevaluate if UT is the place I need to be. Also, the Lord has been placing on my heart a desire to switch my major from journalism to education. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I am trying hard to pray through the decision to transfer schools and completely change my major. I'm not gonna lie, I am feeling rather stressed over all of this...mostly because I don't want to go through the process of changing anything. However, I really feel like I could do more with an education degree than with journalism, and UT is putting a lot of unnecessary financial stress on me. I'm still working through what this next year will look like for me, so please pray that God will direct me and relieve me of all the tough decisions burdening my heart. Pray that He will open the right doors and shut the wrong ones. I know God is faithful no matter where He leads us in life! Keep praying everyone! Thanks and love.
