4 Weeks of School... 6 Weeks to Go!

While school continues to call, I attempt to focus at all. Classes seem unimportant to what I feel God calling me. Every day I question whether I should stay in Scripps, or leave. Do. Act. Then, I remember God's promises. His promises for next semester, for me at school, and I remember that, at least for this and next semester, I am supposed to stay put.

So I continue, I try to work at all things for the Lord. Whether that means genuinely enjoying problems sets, translating sentences, or readings, or whether that means getting grades good enough to stay in school to love the people around me, I'm not sure yet.

What I know is that this semester has 4 weeks left, and I care more about the 6th week then I do my finals. Thinking about Kenya, wondering what God has for me there, gets to be such a distraction. Earlier this semester, trying to focus while being busy with fundraising, letter writing, and other preparation was tough. But at least then I had a to do list. Now, now I am half way raised (God is so awesome!!! Thank you cards are being processed, I promise!). I have read most of our pre-trip reading. I am getting vaccines. I am done with letters, and making a few phone calls. Yet, these things only shed the tiniest light on what is really going on behind the scenes.

Kenya is on my mind.

I can't shake it. I know God is going to do great things, and I grow anxious, not stressed, but excited. I think about what I might see, who I might meet, what lives I might change, and who might totally change mine. Even thinking about next semester - planning where to live, what classes to take - seems so insane. Who knows what I will care about when I return, or how I will feel. Though, that isn't entirely fair to say. I know one thing holds true - I want to see a revival on my campus. That encourages me, that, and knowing that wherever I may be a few months from now, God remains the same - on the Throne of Heaven and Earth.

So as deep and reflecty as I might get these next 6 weeks, I guess I really should just be still, knowing who My God is, and trusting that whatever comes next I am ready for because He is with me, and He goes before me.

Thanks again for reading!
