Silver Lining.

I have had the most stressful, crazy, and nerve wracking past few days of my life. A lot of decisions I made for the next year are turning out not to mesh well together. I had to say goodbye to working at Camp War Eagle, which makes me BEYOND disappointed I can't even describe it. I have to enroll in summer school classes to keep my eligibility to live off campus next fall. I've had an insane couple of days looking and begging for any and every option. Feeling just a bit hopeless and overwhelmed, I get a text from Heidi simply saying 'There's a reason God is having you home this summer.' Indeed there is. So far all I can tell is that I'll be able to have CFM Slushies daily. Haha which, believe me, is a relief. But remembering some people who are at home and some needs to not be gone are starting to present themelves. And while I obviously have not figured out exactly why I am not being led to do CWE anymore, I cannot wait to find out what else God has in store.

I've also been incredibly grateful for a few people.
1. Ben, for waking up to my crying nervous self calling him. And calling him. And calling him. And him listening... A lot! I'll never know how to thank him for all the listening he does.
2. My sister. Heidi says A LOT of Bible verses, encouraging words, and quotes of wise people. Of which I tune out occasionally because I don't understand how much positivity she can store, especially since I've always thought myself a very positive person. But this time she had the perfect encouraging words that were HER OWN. And simple.
3. My dad. I normally talk things over and call my mom in a crisis but she was busy. So I called my dad and I've never been so shocked with how helpful someone could be. I probably repeated my problem to him a million times just waiting to hear a glitch that would turn out to be a good thing, and he just listened and helped and understood and I awed. Wonderful. Just wonderful he is.

I love the people in my life! And I love when they surprise me and I learn to appreciate them all over again.

Short post, but that's all I got for now and I'm trying hard not to forget to Blog. :)
