Done!

I am done with school!  Although I was scared out of my mind at the beginning of this journey, I really enjoyed myself, and I learned alot!  I finished this semester with straight A's...not bad for someone who had no idea what she was doing when she started!  I will not be going back to school until next summer, or the Fall of '13 due to my financial aid issues.  I am not really worried about it because God has everything under control, and I am not in a real big hurry to finish this degree.  I want to take my time, do well, and enjoy it.  And HOPEFULLY I will have a job soon and school would have just been one more thing added to my plate.  I have learned that God knows what He is doing, and I just have to trust Him. 
It's funny, I guess not really funny, but seeing my life come together...by that I mean, seeing God use me, work through me, in ways I never dreamed.  I'm on youth staff at my church now and I can only describe it as "God-ordained."  I didn't want to do it, in fact I fought it for months...however, I knew that this is what I was supposed to do, so I just jumped in, I did it...and the rewards have already been amazing.  Friendships are blossoming with the youth staff, and relationships are connecting with the youth.  I have so many things to offer, so many things to share, so many nuggets of wisdom.  More than anything, I want these kids, these girls, to be where I am at in my relationship with God now, in my 30's, while they are teenagers.  Imagine!  If they can be where I am at with God now, how incredible will it be by the time they are in their 30's???  Wow! 
God has given me a voice and so many amazing things to say, and He is opening the doors, and setting the platform for those things.  Dreaming with Him, dreaming His dreams for my life have been amazing!  There are still so many things that I am waiting for, a job, a car, etc...BUT I know by that trusting Him and dreaming with Him, He will blow my mind!  I'm ready!  So ready!:)
