So I had an amazing
week hanging out with freshmen.
I was a welcome week leader and it was
so much fun! I basically had the most amazing group- they were really excited
about Baylor and we had really great attendance. I was so impressed with them-
they had more courage than I had my freshman year. I really wish that I had
been more confident and outgoing my first year...oh well. They went all out,
had no problem meeting people, and were a lot of fun. And they were all just
really cute. We had some long days in the scorching heat, but it was so worth
it. I am glad that I was a welcome week leader and only regret that I won't be
able to do something like this again.
Today I started my
senior year!!! I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to say that.
Yesterday at church, Kyle had the graduating seniors stand...and it pretty much
made my day. It's incredible that I have finally
made it, but at the same time, I am so shocked that it is already here. A
senior. Crazy. On that note...I am really looking forward to what God has for
me this year. My biggest fear is that I will graduate in May without a job. But
after this summer, I am stepping out in faith, just waiting to see where He
takes me. I really am at peace about it. Also, as much as I hate to be a
girl about it, I have to admit that I also somewhat fear graduating without
finding the guy I thought God would have for me here at Baylor. It actually has
been on my mind a lot lately, and I have really had to pray against it
consuming my thoughts. It just gets lonely at times, that's all. And friends
getting married makes it hard, Baylor culture is annoying about it, etc. But
God came to the rescue yet again, and definitely spoke to me last night at the
Candlelight Service. He reminded me of His
love for me, and reminded me that it was enough. And it is. And there is nothing in this world, no one in this
world, that could ever replace or fill that desire/need in my heart.
God has been faithful
to provide a specific song or prayer each semester that He has desired to be
my focus for that particular semester. A "theme," if you
will. One of the songs we sang last night, God gave me as the prayer
for this fall semester...
Give
me one pure and holy passion
Give
me one magnificent obsession
Jesus,
give me one glorious ambition for my life
To
know and follow hard after you
To
know and follow hard after you
To
grow as your disciple in your truth
This
world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared
to knowing you, my Lord
Lead
me on and I will run after you
Lead
me on and I will run after you
So this semester, I am passionately pursuing Christ. Not
that I haven't before...it's just a different mindset this time. And it
couldn't be more true that nothing in this world comes close to
comparing to falling more and more in love with my Savior. I'm starting to get
teary-eyed again just typing this...haha. I am just overwhelmed anew by my
Savior's love and desire to have an intimate relationship with me. So in
the midst of all the amazing things He has already set before me to start this
senior year, you can find me running after my Savior..and if I am not- call me
out on it .
