I'm a College Grad!

"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." ~Philippians 4:13

I am officially a college graduate...I never thought the day would come! Having to work full time nearly my entire college career forced me to squeeze 4 years of college into 6. But I finally finished. As I've reflected on the past 6 years I can't help but remember all the times I wanted to quit, all the times finishing seemed impossible, all the changes in major, all the not having a clue what I wanted to do with my life, all the tears cried over math classes, all the late nights studying, all the facebook procrastination when I needed to write papers :), all the times I had to pass up fun to study, all the encouragement I received from family & friends, and all the prayers for endurance, guidance, and comfort from my sweet Savior. And as I've remembered all these moments, I am overwhelmed at how my God supplies ALL my needs. He is so good and so faithful. I love the journey we've been on the past 6 years. It's been a journey of a lot of lows as I've tried to rebel, but also a journey of a lot of grace as God has refined me and given me a heart that loves Him more than life. I'm so looking forward to the start of a new chapter and I am THRILLED that the first pages in this new chapter of life include making a life-long dream come true by traveling with God to Africa for missions!!! Graduation is behind me now...next stop, Africa!
