Living the Life to the Full

Over the last two years God has really blessed me and allowed me to go on amazing adventures! I literally cannot believe what He has allowed me to do and be a part of. From Hungary, to Mexico, to going to college, and now he's sending me somewhere new! Texas! I'm so excited!

In two days I will be leaving for Texas, where I will be interning at a church, working with high school students! I'm really looking forward to be working in ministry in this capacity, in a completely new place, with new people! I'm interested to see how ministry is in a different culture, from what I'm used to. And I'm excited to see what God will do this summer in me and through me!

On top of all of this, I have been offered a position in the premier traveling singing group at my school! I am so humbled at this opportunity and feel so blessed! It is still very surreal. I cannot wait for next year! It will be such an exciting year singing and traveling with this group! I am so in awe.  

God is doing some amazing things in my life, and sometimes I just can't believe it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm dreaming! Two years ago I couldn't have even fathomed that this is where I would be right now. I am so grateful for a God who always has a greater, bigger and better plan. I'm grateful for amazingly loving people that God has put in my life to support, encourage and love on me. They continue to show me God's grace and unconditional love, especially on the bad days. I really do feel like I am living the "life to the full" that Jesus talks about in John 10:10.

It has been a long road, and there is a long journey to come! The road has been watered with many tears. Nothing comes easy. And even in the good, there is hard work. But the hard times, and the tears are all worth it. Perseverance indeed does produce steadfastness. And when you truly trust God, and surrender your life to Him, He will guide you to amazing things.
