When life hits the fan...

Hello Friends!!

Don't you love it when you think you've got life figured out and then God tells you you're wrong?? I'm not joking. It's actually a really cool thing.

I thought I had it totally figured out that I wanted to work at Qwanoes for a year and be surrounded with people that know me as someone who loves Jesus and it being really easy to live a life wholly devoted to him. I thought it was the perfect time in my life to do that. I even said in my previous post. Then when they told me they didn't want me they said they thought it wasn't the right time in my life! I was so mad because I was convinced that this is where God wanted me.

But I've been thinking a lot about it. Why would God want me to be a Christian where it's easy?? I need to be his light to the dark world. I know that God wants me to be able to be as devoted to him here as I am at camp. I have always known that. I really think that with moving to Langley he is giving me a fresh start. The only people I know in Langley are Christians. That is the complete oppisite to Ladner. I mean I know some really awesome people in my church but we don't hang out too often because they are all quite a bit older than me. Which is fine. I still love them to bits and we have so much fun when we do hang out! I just need so friends my age that love Jesus as much as I do. Because I don't have any that live very close to me.

So all this being said, I am really excited for the fall. Living in a new place and meeting new people. I love being in a place where I don't know anything! I love it! But I am the most excited to see how God is going to use me out here. I am in need of a place to live out here in Langley and a job. But I'm not worried about that at all. I truly believe that God wants me out here now. I believe he has made that very clear. And I see that more and more every day with how he's been blessing me! God is good. I can never, ever, ever forget that. He is an amazing God who can do amazing things!
