What If?

This week has brought so much emotion, news, and passion to me. Wow, I don’t really know how to explain myself, nor to explain what God is doing in my life. However, I will attempt it, as this is what my blog is for.

College has brought upon many challenges, not just academically. I’ve been having to say no to a lot of social events lately and this breaks my heart. I know that God is calling me to be a Physical Therapist and if that means studying my science material over going to watch a movie with a group of friends, then that’s what it means. Unfortunately. This week specifically though, it has been extremely rough to say no. I want to be a light on this campus, get involved and move forward in my faith, but my education gets in the way. Why? …I have to ponder this daily.

I do know that when God is calling me to a specific profession [Physical Therapy] that I am to go and work at it as hard as I can. I won’t give up.

This week, I was blessed with amazing opportunities on campus that have been an answer to prayer and I am so thankful to God for them. In HIS timing, there will be answers that you need and are looking for.

Hearing from friends this week has been an additional joy to me. I need my friends on my side, even through the distance. I would be nothing without the family in them that I have. To all my friends back home and at various colleges, you are a blessing to me and I love you all so much. Thank you for loving me, even through this distance.

Plus, my family came to campus this weekend!!! SO happy to see them. Although, I am pretty sure it was much harder to say goodbye this time than it was initially on move-in day. Regardless, I praise God for the time that we could share. I treasure it so deeply and wish it hadn’t gone by so fast. I love you Dad, Mom and Sis.

I think that through this week, one thing has remained the same: God’s presence. He was here and still is. I am learning so much and it amazes me each day. I may think that in order to be happy, everything will have to be picture perfect, but God has shown me otherwise. He has whispered into my heart and spoken big things. He is moving. He is able. He is.

It has been really hard to get through this week. From saying no, to saying goodbye again…ugh I just wish it didn’t have to happen. God has other plans and I will follow. Not just a few steps behind Him, but up close along side Him, the ENTIRE path I will follow Him.

Well, I tried to explain it as best as I could. In the mean time, here is this: I hope it is a calming and strengthening to you as it is to me…Blessings from afar.
