I'm learning

I'm having the time of my life this year. It's been so refreshing. My core group is really great. They care about each other, and that is so good to see. I can't even compare them to last year. Both great for different reasons. They love the Lord, they love each other, and they love to just hang out and have a good time. I love it. I love watching them thrive, and grow. We go to Cedar Bend on Thursday. I'm excited about that too.

I have incredible friends who love me. I've had so much fun with friends (mainly E&B, and those adventures), and it's been cool to get to know new friends (like Oliver and Aaron). I've had the time of my life.

With all the greatness of this year comes stress. I'm stressed out about this year. I'm taking 17 credits, plus i'm in COR100 with my group, so needless to say, I'm pretty busy. I'm so blessed to have the time to hang out with my friends and core, but this semester has been taking a huge tole on me. I haven't spend nearly enough time with Jesus, and I haven't spend nearly enough time on myself. I've been learning this last week that I need to find more about who I am, and really strive to find who I am through Jesus. I know quite a bit about other people, and forming relationships with other people, but I just don't quite have a grasp on who I am.

This happens quite a bit. I can almost hypothesize it happening every year. I get super weird, quite, and kind of depressed even when I am having fun with people because I simply get burnt out on giving. Sometimes I give more than I have to give to people, and that isn't fair to me, and to them. Even if they don't know it, I can't give something out that I don't have. I've been learning that lately.

So all in all, the Lord has put the right people in my life for the goals I need to accomplish this year. Just please be in prayer for me. Pray that I don't get burnt out. Pray that I find the people who can support me, and that I allow Jesus to spread his love to my heart, so that I can pour out more on people. Pray that I stay encouraged this semester.

I'd love to pray for you too. Just let me know how.
