A Kid at Heart


I'm in even in Kenya yet, and the Lord is already teaching me to be patient and trust Him. My money has been coming in, and thanks to many wonderful people out there, I'm secure in that. However, now the burden that is in my heart is all the paperwork. It's just not something I enjoy doing, and I have this fear that I'm not going to get it all done in time. But even as I type this, I'm getting more peace in my heart. It is literally one month until I leave. 1 more month. And all the paperwork will get done on time. I'll put forth the effort needed, and I'll get there and serve the people and children of Kenya. This has been a dream that I just didn't even think was going to happen. So, I'm learning now, 1 month away, to be patient and let God work.

In other news, finals are in 2 weeks! HOW WEIRD. Then summer and then I'll be a junior. What a weird concept. Junior status means I know my major which means I should know what I want to do with my life. And I do. But, at the same time, I don't know if I'll have a job when I graduate college. Or where I'll live or what school I'll teach at. But hey. Junior year also means I'm a 3rd year vet in the marching band, and pretty much known the drill. Junior means I know the secret places to study where the noisy freshmen won't be. And junior means I'm finally done with core classes, and can finally appreciate, and enjoy school and my classes.

What weirds me out is just the concept of growing up in general. I feel like I'm 16 still, and yet I turn 21 this year. What...where...when did this happen? I don't know. But I know for sure that when I get to be a grandma, I'm going to act like I'm a kid. Giggly, awkward, and forever wanting to have fun.

And these girls make my life oodles and oodles of fun.
