Summer

So in the past month I've been stressing majorly about what I was going to do this summer. When I found out I wasn't going to Myrtle Beach, my heart sank. I had counted on that and was looking forward to it. However, this obviously was not God's plan for me. The coordinator in Myrtle sent all of my information to North American Mission Board and told me to apply because he thought that I was extremely qualified. I ended up applying and finding a summer missionary job in Chicago. It seemed like a far stretch since they were looking for only one person and that meant my chances of going were much smaller than I expected. I contacted the coordinators there and built a relationship with them within a couple of emails. My application went through and I was waiting ( quite impatiently)for the email that would determine my summer plans. Luckily that email came sooner than I thought and I discovered that I AM GOING TO CHICAGO!!!!!! After being "rejected" from one missions opportunity, I got really worried that no one would want me. It made me feel like a boy broke my heart and made me insecure, and then someone comes along and he wants to be with me just as much as I want to be with him. It's a perfect match! I haven't experienced this exact sensation, which is totally fine with me, but that's what I associated it with. I feel like I'm worth something! God's got a plan for me this summer and it wasn't in Myrtle Beach, no matter how much I thought it was. I'm going to be in THIRD largest city in the United States. What an opportunity! This is definitely not in my comfort zone, and Satan keeps trying to tell me that if I'm not comfortable, it's not right. But you know what? Satan's a liar! I might be nervous out of my mind of all these new experiences, but this is exactly where I need to be. God's going to transform my life in ways I can't even imagine! I'm so excited :) All of this being said, I'm going to create a different blog for the summer so I can share my experiences both spiritual and non-spiritual. If you'd be interested in following that let me know :) AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

So my friend Caroline wanted me to write a blog post about her. I really don't know what to write about but... here we go. The other night I was being very productive, let me tell you. I had a Biology test to study for and believe me I was getting it done! As all Sunday nights go these days, though, I got a phone call from one Caroline Worthy. She comes over to my "residence hall" (sorry, I'm trying to train my mind like an RM) and tells me about her eventful weekend, eats her easymac, all that jazz. All the while I'm taking Biology notes and being a boss double tasking. We then talk about other junk. Around midnight, for some reason, we decided to have a little dance party in the study room. Mind you, there are windows surrounding us and people in the study room next to us and possibly below us, and it was past quiet hours. Did that stop us? NOPE! We're too awesome for rules. Then we decided to watch a few scenes from A Very Potter Sequel. If you've never watched it, just do it. Don't question, just do it. Then we realized it was almost one o'clock so I signed her out and she went on her merry way back to HER "residence hall". This is essentially what I do on Sunday nights. Sleep? What is that?
