2nd Semester

Well since I didn't get the chance to yesterday I thought I'd update today. Yesterday was the start of  second semester.
Christmas break was really good! Having a month off from school was fabulous. It was great hanging out with friends and family again. Relaxing and enjoying the Christmas season. The only "bad" thing about the long break was coming back. I think after having such a long break it made it that much harder to come back.
Another thing that made it harder coming back was finding out that Emily wasn't coming back. Last week Thursday she told me she was going to GRCC this semester. She had literally just decided that. So that was really hard for me to hear. She was the one I hung out with the most and did like everything with here at school. I went to church with her and she brought me home. So the next few days were a little rough for me. It made coming to school so much harder. It still isn't easy but things are slowly getting better.
I know that this is all a part of God's plan for my life, but that doesn't make it any easier! That day after I found out I was in the car driving and the songs that came on the radio were just perfect for me. Later that night my mom was telling me some quotes she had seen on Facebook that were so fitting for me. And I had the same thing the next few days when I was on pinterest. I found something yesterday that just really stood out to me. It's a quote by Louie Giglio.

"God is using your present circumstance to make you more useful for later roles in his unfolding story."

This couldn't be more perfect for me right now! I know this semester isn't going to be easy but I just need to have faith and keep believing that it is all a part of His plan for my life. It's always amazing how God places things in your life at just the right time. I have this coming Monday off so I'm excited to be going home again on Friday!
Continued prayers for this semester would be appreciated. Prayers that God might place someone in my life and that he will use me this semester! Also just that my classes will go well. And also for health! Especially in these winter months.
Thanks :)
