Where's Waldo?

There is a few things that I can share...
First, I have been working a lot. The girls are fantastic and teach me things, daily. Second, money has started to come in from my support letters, which is very exciting. Especially because I know some of the people giving me money don't have a lot to give. Which makes the gift even more special to me. For example: I was at bible study on Thursday night and I was talking to a girl about my finances (which was $40) and she gave me a $10 note and said, "I know it's not a lot but take it". That brought so much joy to my heart.

I am leaving for WV this week to go speak at my Uncle's church. PLUS I get to see my brand new cousin! (: I will probably end up going by myself, but it will be fun. I like road trips, they make for excellent Jesus time!

God has been teaching me to wait on His timing in everything. Anxiousness goes hand in hand with that for me. I keep having to remind myself to not be anxious about ANYTHING not just the future or finances. The small things is what always trips me up, the being late, or fighting with a family member, or whether or not things get done and lack of sleep. It's very comforting when I actually apply it to my life. Lately questions of the future have been on my heart, which is helpful for learning this lesson. It's probably the best time because I have complete peace with things that I never thought I would. (vague I know, but trust me it's good)

God has also provided me with amazing friends. That are girls! It's tough sometimes but totally worth it. The girls I hang out with are all in different stages of life so it's nice to see what functional, God-based relationships/families look like and it's nice to be reminded I'm not the only girl who doesn't live for guys.

I also have been challenged recently about how I display Christ in public. Do I go places ready to share what Jesus did for someone? Do I have a Christ-like attitude at 0530 when I go to wawa before work? Do I help someone when I see them struggling? I have found myself getting wrapped up in my own little world so I'm trying to make myself more aware of the fact I live for Christ, not myself. Which is tough, but worth it.

I do have a few prayer requests:
Continuous peace about my trip, finances, leaving my friends and family.
Consistent times with Jesus, that I would realize how much I need Him.
Challenges would be faced with confidence in Christ.


Thank you for taking time out of your day to read about my life, it means a lot!
Have a fantastic day and spend sometime with Jesus! It will be rewarding.

<3 to you all,
Shann
