Wackadoodle

So here I am at the end of the summer. What a summer it has been. Working at a camp all summer was a great experience, God really showed me some large areas where I need to work on my heart, and at the same time He confirmed my choice to be an education major. Working with kids was the most rewarding experience of my life. Every week a new batch of kids came in, each group more different than the last, but all with great joys and hardships. I loved it and wouldn't have rather done anything else all summer. Yet, here I am on the verge of school. God has continually and blatantly blessed me in the choice to go to Judson. Last year with the beginning of my freshman year He gave me incredible friends and relationships, a year full of growing and enjoyable experiences. He gave me a place where I knew I could feel loved and safe, a place where I could be entirely and honestly me for all my faults. I was then given the position of Wilson Hall Dorm President for this year as well as the position of student mentor for the incoming freshmen.
All this almost came to and end though. As we were pulling out of the drive from Judson my dad informed me that my aunt who had cosigned for my loans could no longer do it. This meant that short of a working of God I would not return to Judson. I could not sign for my own loans as I had tried to only weeks earlier and been denied. I told myself that sure God would not open the doors that he had if I was not going to be able to serve, I told myself to have faith that it would work out. As camp approached I knew I had little time to act so I applied again by myself for the same loan as before and this time, yes this time, I got approved. I got approved on my own credit. God provided. Now walking into the new school year with everything paid for, with a position to serve my school on a large scale, and with my good friends as my roommate and suitemate I am confident beyond anything that Judson is truly where I am meant to be for now.
