Fall semester is almost over and I feel like it would be good to write a semester overview of all that has happened. In the future, I can look back and see all that God has done during my time at Moody. God is so good and I have so much to thank Him for.
The beginning of the year was so good. I was so nervous and anxious to come to Moody- especially to drive out here. I didn't want to come all the way to Washington. It was so uncomfortable for me and a huge leap of faith. I thought driving here would be miserable, but it was so fun to drive out with my roommate. My roommate and I moved in the first week of August, and we started out the year by visiting her family in Portland.
School then started. I started out and even ended the semester very well in regards to grades. I loved all of my classes and liked the people I was meeting, but I absolutely hated it out here. Our house had a lot of drama and I pulled far away from anything and everything that had to do with my house. At first, I wanted to transfer to Chicago with every fiber in me. I figured that everything would be way more Godly than what was going on here. BUT, God changed my attitude about everything. I literally could not see myself in Chicago. If God calls me there somehow, I will be obedient to follow Him. But for now, I think I am supposed to be out here. God is growing me in amazing ways. He also does crazy works in our hearts, and I know that I am supposed to be here for this season of my life. Even though there was things I didn't like, there was a TON of stuff that I did like. I have so many memories this semester though: road-tripping to Portland, cliff jumping at Coeur D'Alene, meeting new church families, chapel, random life talks with friends. It has been so good. So thankful for the people that I have met out here this far. I couldn't imagine life without them.
Towards the middle of the semester, a lot happened. From starting the semester on fire for Christ, I realized fast that I was going through the motions. It is so easy to go to a Bible College and go through the motions. The Bible is our textbook... but not only is it our textbook, it is a life changing and transformational book. I realized soon that I was reading the Bible just for homework and not reading it as daily bread that gives me life. This is something that I will work on next semester. Also, towards the middle of the semester my Grandma passed away. This was incredibly hard on me. So thankful that I had the chance to go home for the funeral and that a lot of people supported me financially with buying the plane ticket and everything.
It is now the end of the semester and I am so thankful for all that the Lord done. I AM SO GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR HOW HE HAS GROWN ME THIS SEMESTER. I have grown so much as an individual. I am learning more about myself and my God day by day.
God has great plans for me and my time at Moody, and I can see His hand over everything. May I always be obedient to follow Him every step of the way. Where He leads, I will follow.
