Hey there, people I love!
I know this blog is long overdue. Today is the first time that I feel caught up with my life. Everything is finally organized, and I'm up to date on all of the homework and reading that I already have. The first week was rough. I love being back, and I was so glad to see all my friends again. Yet, every time I was alone, I remembered my precious kids in Haiti. All I could do was cry. I know it just takes time, and I'm getting there! I trust that God is going to continue to take care of those kids, and I just want to embrace every moment even now that I'm back at Asbury!
I've got another jam-packed semester ahead of me. I'm working three jobs. I'm a phoner, childcare worker, and a desk worker! The fantastic news is that I can get quite a bit of homework done when I work the desk. Can you believe it's my senior year? I can't! I have been so blessed by my time at Asbury, and I'm thrilled to have this year here!
On a different note, I'm trying to lose some weight this year, so wish me luck! I lost 5 lbs since being back at school, but I know it gets harder after you get started.
As for the future, who knows? I can tell you a little about my dreams. I truly believe that when we delight in God, He gives us desires that are just like His desires (Psalm 37:4). Then God makes our dreams come true! So what is my dream? There are so many possibilities and opportunities. It's absolutely invigorating when you think about it. I can still honestly say that I'll be happy anywhere, doing pretty much anything! I'm looking into several long term options, so pray that I will be able to discern where I might be the best candidate. I'm especially excited about Urbana, a missions conference that I'm going to in December. Hopefully, I'll be able to connect with a lot of missions organizations there, if I haven't already made a decision.
I am also hoping to go to Honduras for five weeks before I commit to something quite a bit longer.
Well, I know this blog is a bit random, but it will be more regular in the future.
LOVE,
Shelbs
Yay! She's back!
