A year ago I was excited because my student leaders were returning to campus.
A year ago I was frustrated by the administration change that caused our department to move under someone who wanted WOW rather than relationship.
A year ago I was concerned about the change in my direct supervisor.
A year ago I was working with people that I trusted, admired, and looked forward to seeing everyday.
A year ago I had a roommate who wasn't exactly a roommate, but lived at my house nonetheless.
A year ago I was getting ready to begin a year that would end up being both incredibly hard and wonderful all at the same time.
A year ago I wasn't sure where God was taking me.
A year ago I was living in Arizona and while I desperately wanted/needed a change I wasn't sure that I had it in me to take that step.
A year later and here I am. Five days from now I leave for Rome. And I have to wonder what I will find when in a year from now I reflect back on what's transpired. What will have happened? Who will I have become? How will God have used me? Who will I meet? So many unanswered questions loom before me as I face something that a year ago was only a hope....now it's a reality. My how things can change in a year...

Feel tears well up... this is so amazing and exciting... remember to live in the moment - makes looking back over the year that much more fulfilling. You will be amazing. You will do great. There will be moments it will not feel fun - more like a burden than a journey. But, remember in those moments Christ is making us more holy. He is changing us for what He has for us next! Refining, purifing, loving and challenging.
You are a great friend and I am SO happy for you!!!
I just started tearing up thinking about a year ago! So much has happened! I am soo excited for you that you took a leap of faith and followed where God led. I miss you and I miss old times:-( But I can't wait what adventures God leads you on and the people you will get to meet! And I can't wait to come visit you! Yah!
