being content....

so wow i have been back for almost one month now...it is crazy how time flies. In the last month i have had my life completely change.

i moved downtown minneapolis
i was an orientation leader at nwc
i started classes at nwc
i got a job at caribou coffee in uptown by lake calhoun
i started my urban ministry program
i got an internship at good in the hood

things have been so different and it has been hard to be content. for the last 3 falls now i have done something new. my freshmen year i went to umd, then sophomore i went to nwc and now i am doing both nwc and this u4c program. it is once again completely new.

change isnt a bad thing, but it is hard. it is hard being content with things when you are used to the way things used to be. i love love love living in minneapolis, but honestly i am not content with it. i miss nwc, i miss by really good friends from there, i miss living on campus. i just miss it all. i miss having a core group of friends the most. it is hard keeping friends when you move off campus. it just plain sucks most days. because the people that i used to depend on i see maybe once a week and have a real convo with them on rare occasion. it is just reality, a reality that i dont like.

but God is faithful and he has a plan God promises that he has it all worked out. he has me here this year for a reason and i need to embrace it. i need to take every opportunity here and live it up to the fullest. and i am excited about what God has for me.

God has a plan for all of you. He has your life mapped out. he is in control. Trust God from the bottom of your heart dont try to figure it all out on your own dont assume you know it all. that is spoken in the book of proverbs and it is something that we should hold dear to our hearts.

trust is a hard thing to do, but i am trusting in God that he knows what he is doing, that he has a plan for me living here in minneapolis, that he is going to keep me safe, that he is going to provide the good friendship i am looking for, that he is going to be more than enough, that he is going to fill me up, and that he is going to keep holding me close to his heart and not let me go.

i challenge you to do the same thing in your life, whatever situation you may be in, to just trust God and know that he has it all in control. <3
