My goodness!

I just realized that I have not posted on here in such a long time... goes to show how busy school has been keeping me I suppose. I just finally got over having the flu and now will be spending the week getting all caught up on homework and art projects. It's so crazy to look back on my posts from last fall and to see how different my life is even though only a few months have gone by.

I am currently wrapping up my first semester as a senior at Bethel University and just last week registered for my classes for the upcoming fall. So far it looks like it will be a pretty busy semester, 18 credits again
Drawing II [i am most excited for this class]
Printmaking
Painting II [i am pretty excited for this class as well! it will be an independent study with Dale Johnson]
Aesthetics:What is Art?,
and a course on Social Justice


I am still working in the Bethel library but will be starting a new job [to be determined] this summer. I am still a leader for Wyldlife, a junior high youth group that meets in Edina. I love the kids that are in our group, they are all so fun and keep me laughing. I am excited to see all of the ways that God is going to be at work in the lives of the students I meet with.

I can't believe that Spring break has already come and gone and that I have been back from Appalachia now for almost a month. It was honestly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I've learned to start noticing God in a new way, I see him working in the world around me and in my life daily. I think one of the biggest things that I learned while I was on my trip is to just trust, not worry, I learned the importance of relying on him and to letting him have the control. It is so amazing to see the way God opens doors in situations where things seem so hopeless. I still am convinced that when we are in the midst of a struggle, if we look to God, He can use the situation we are in to strenthen and refine us.

I still don't know what I am going to do once I am done with school. I am currently looking into how to become a flight attendant. I am planning on trying it out for a couple of years and looking for a job related to my major in the mean time. I want to travel, I want to meet all kinds of strangers, I want to paint and sketch in places that I have never been and I want to serve the Lord.
