coming to an end...

So...I haven't kept up with this but my plan is to back track through out the semester. I haven't typed them but I've written almost everything down in my handy dandy journal. YA YA!

Where so I start? There's so much to talk about. I guess I'll start with the present.

I come home in 4 days! I can't believe how fast the summer has gone. It feels like yesterday when I was at the airport crying and thinking of home. Now I'm thinking about the projects I have to finish up before I leave and how I'm going to fit everything in my suitcase. I've really enjoyed my time here and I've made some lasting friendships as well. Serving the Lord with someone is an awesome way to start a bond.

Molly and Daniel left for Georgia on Friday. WOW! Yesterday morning. It's been a long day. I cried a little. Wait I lied, a lot. I really liked them. I miss my Molly. Look for a post on their last day in Chi-town...

All of that's pretty big, but not as big as what's happened this summer. God has shown me so much about myself and His work in Chicago. I guess the biggest thing I can think of is the Lord has restored to me the joy of his salvation and given me a willing spirit to sustain me. (Ps. 51:12) Ever since February I've felt like someone or something was keeping me down. I couldn't break free from it. I would have occasional days where I felt on fire for the Lord but that was only days at a time. I knew something was up. I still don't know exactly what. Part of me wants to think that God had me stuck there so when I was here I would be able to have this experience. Right now I really don't care why or what. I'm just glad to feel this way again. I'm writing all the details right now. You should read it. It's titled Raindrops keep fallin' on my head.

Actually you should look at all of my upcoming post. I plan to write down a lot so be prepared to learn a lot about me.
