I learned so much last semester about what not to do and what needs to be clearer and so I don't know if that's why things seem to be going smoother now or it's because I and so many have covered this semester in prayer. I suppose it's a combination of the two.
I was at Bible study the other night and one of the women in my group mentioned that I looked different. Did I have a new haircut? No. Did I put on different make-up? No. Did I.....? No. And then I think I figured it out. Peace. I have so much more peace this time around. And I suppose that's because I've done what I didn't do nearly enough of last semester...I've been praying and talking to God about these students and this semester. I have sought His face more than I did last semester. And I guess that's kind of the point to life...that we learn from our mistakes and move forward...allowing God to use those moments in our lives to mold us into a better version of who we are....to be more like Christ.
I am finally excited again about what I am doing here. I am finally finding life and energy in what I'm doing. And it's nice. I know that this semester will bring challenges because how can there not be when 13 fallen human beings are living together? But this time around...I know what needs to happen....thanks to God's amazing grace.
