I must have lost my mind..... Yes, yes, I have!!!

Ok, so.... I have decided in the past three days that I am transferring to HBU and moving to Houston!!! I think the hardest part of all of this is going to be telling my family that I am moving away AND that I made this decision without any of them knowing, and I did it in three days. This is SO out of character for me, I don't think that I have ever made a major decision like this in under a month, and so I ask myself, "Have your lost your mind?! Do you really know what it is that you're doing?" and of course the answer to both of the questions is, "YES!!!!!"

This summer has been an amazing experience in SO many ways. I have really started to understand just who exactly I am, and that if I want to do something, I can! The 220 family is awesome!! They are such an amazing group of Christ-followers that know just how and when to encourage. Any time I have been down this summer and listened to the enemies lies about myself someone has been there to encourage me through whatever was before me. I have come out of my shell more than I think even I realize. there are things that I have done and said this summer that I have always been too self conscious to do or say. I have even considered joining the HBU REC team, which for me is huge!! (Those of you who have ever seen the REC team and know me well will agree) I know that God wants to continue to do AMAZING things and that I must just follow Him, and that this is just one more step of obedience that I must take while I'm passing through......

For those of you at home, I will miss you tremendously!! This is not, "Goodbye" , merely, "See you later!"

Until later......

I knew He was going to reveal things and I was going to learn alot, but I had no idea how much this summer would impact everythin in my life and the way that I view everything especially myself. I'm pretty sure that I'll be back next summer, and the next, and the next........ This is where God's got me for now, this is truly my home and my family, and I am so grateful for everything that has been shown to me and just the way everone treats everybody else like they're special, and they instantly become family no matter how shy (that doesn't last long) or reserved(neither does that) they are. I don't see how anyone can be around this group for any amount of time and not be changed in a very significant way, God is that good!
