In his heart a man plans his course,
but the Lord determines his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
He has our plans and is doing things in our best interest. He knows exactly which way we're going and what those things are going to lead to. My post yesterday really touched on these things and I don't see a true need in repeating them all.
Either way...
BIG NEWS.
Today was extremely productive. I got reading done for classes, assignments done that aren't due til later this week or next, AND planned a retreat. That's right. A retreat.
Within Cru, I'm a part of a team called, appropriately, Freshmen Team. We meet weekly to discuss how to better the community within the freshmen and so on and so forth. Anyways, my good friend Nate (the one I took photos of for the Bible Study!) and I are in charge of planning the retreat for the freshmen which will happen in the Spring.
This is a big responsibility but I have a lot of faith in us! We met today for a solid two hours planning and got a huge chunk done. Now, all of this has to go through the proper channels and under review of everyone else on the Freshmen Team and by the time it actually happens, will probably look nothing like what we planned today - but that's okay. I'm free to go with the flow. If there is something I've learned this past year, it's that more heads ARE better than one and it leads to more successful events.
Okay, now to the big news. I got accepted as a Greystone counselor! Eeeek!!! So excited! I'm excited for this summer and all that God will do in my life between now and then to prepare me for it. I'm excited and will be praying for the girls that will attend this summer and that God will work tremendously in their lives as well. I'll be praying for my the other staff that I'll be leading with, that I can make true friendships and that we can grow closer by serving the Lord together. I'm just so excited and thankful for all of it.
I'm especially relieved by the fact that I know (or at I think I know...) what will happen this summer. It's a weight off my shoulder. Hopefully something drastic doesn't happen to change all of that, but if it does, I can't imagine what better things God would have in store for me.
