Summer is here!

I am done with all of my undergraduate classes! I can't believe it. It seems so crazy to think I'm already done with college. It definitely went by so fast. I feel as though freshman year was yesterday, well maybe not yesterday, more like last week! haha. It's been a bumpy journey: meeting new friends, moving a lot, finding a wonderful church, and so much more. I've experienced a lot of new firsts, many fun nights filled with laughter until 4 am, late night runs to mcdonalds, lettuce lake park, and dunkin donuts.

It makes me sad that this part of my life will soon come to an end, but I am so thankful for everything that I've been blessed with through all of it. More than anything, my sanctification has grown immensely. I am not the same naive girl who left Port Orange, FL at the age of 18. I realized the other day that this summer marks 10 years that I have been saved. Looking back at my journey, I'm amazed at how much I've grown since then. There is not a doubt in my mind that my years here in Tampa have been the most drastic change in my walk with the Lord.

I wouldn't change one thing. In fact, I am even thankful for the painful memories. It is in those times that I had my most precious moments with the Lord. A sweet friend of mine told me a quote from a book she was reading and I just loved it. "We were made weak, so that we might humbly obey." How true and awesome is this. To the world being made weak is something that is undesirable and frowned upon. However, as a Christian, I'm glad to say that I'm not afraid to go through suffering so that God can be glorified through me. I never would have been able to say this 3 years ago leaving for college.

So what's next? I have no idea! haha I have one more semester of Internship and I will officially be a college graduate. Still hasn't hit me yet. Right now I'm going to enjoy my 3 months of summer :) Then we'll see what's next. Oh and pray that I find a job! I've been looking since January. So far I've gotten one offer as a swim coach which gives me about 100 bucks a week. However, that's not set in stone either.
