End

Looking back I have no regrets. This semester has been wonderful. It has been rough. There were parts that have been the hardest of my life yet. But through it all, I do not regret a single one of the struggles or 'bumps' thrown on the road. God has proven Himself yet faithful again and again, over and over again. He never fails. He is the One who makes things happen, good and bad but always for His Glory. It sometimes just takes time to see the beauty after the ashes. It takes time to see the reasons for the hard stuff.

The beginning of this semester I prayed specifics about getting involved in lives of girls on my floor. God has answered that with an emphatic YES! He has put girls naturally into my daily life who have been such an encouragement to me and who have been there through some of the roughest stuff. He has also provided younger girls to pour into and learn from as well. That has been huge. I am so thankful to Him for these girls.

I could go on about His provision, but there is no way it would all fit on this blog!

As sad as it is to say good bye to this community, it is so exciting to know that the next stage of life is right around the corner. I look forward so much to what God has in store. I'm sure He has an adventure planned! I know just enough for now. That's all and that's ok. There are things I am unsure of, many many things, but wow, God has proven His faithfulness, I think I can trust Him with these uncertainties too.

I just want these last few days with friends and Moody to be full of joy and happy memories. I don't want the sad, sappy good-byes. I want to move on to the next stage and welcome it because we can't live in the past. Let's embrace what is set before us! Let's rejoice in this day the Lord has given so graciously!

He is good. I want to know Him. I want to serve Him. I'm overwhelmed by His love. He is faithful. He is my provider. He is my all. He is the one I'm crazy about. He is everything I need. He is sufficient. He is powerful. He is a comfort.
