Sure, Why Not

Blogging is always something that I have thought about doing, but I always just decided that people would not actually want to read about my life and thoughts and that blogging would be too much work.  I finally decided though after seeing how much I have enjoyed reading others' blogs that I would go for it.  In the busyness of being in college, it is easy to forget to reflect on life's journey and all that God has done.  My prayer is that this blog is simply a place that I can reflect and share the mercies that God brings into my life all the time.  It could be something simple like finding a new musician that I want you all to appreciate or just thoughts on what God is doing in my life.  I have learned over the years that God is present in the big things and the little things, and we all have reason to rejoice in everything.

This year as a sophomore in college is full of transitioning.  I'm transitioning into life as not a freshmen, into working several hours a week to begin paying for adult things like loans, gas, and a car payment, into the serious Wheaton College culture after coming off of a summer in the Northwoods of Wisconsin as a camp counselor, and just the constant transition of learning what it means to rest and rely on God in each and every thing I do.  These transitions are hard, but God is good.  I cannot wait to see how God continues to grow me and make this year like no other.

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.  Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."  Psalm 143:8
