Today I was thinking about where I am right now and how absolutely crazy it is that I am here. Never in my life would I have thought the place I went to middle school camp would become my home..the place I walked around a year ago with my best friend and swore was too small for me. Never in my life did I think I would get to go to Hawaii, let alone live there for 3 months. Never in my life did I think I would travel to so many places of the world for the sake of the gospel. I never thought I would go to Montana or have 6 deep heart friends that I lived with for 8 months.  I never thought my sister would be my best friend. I never thought my heart would be torn and left in SO many places. And I really never thought that I would love Jesus enough to follow him on this crazy ride...but I am SO glad that by His grace I do. 

I am thankful for this reminder of God's crazy unthinkable plans for me. It gives me such hope in the wild future I know we will have together, even when college seems never ending (and its only the 2nd month) and the trouble of today seems overwhelming. 

I challenge you to stop and listen to where God is leading, like right now. Give your plans, your hopes and your dreams up to Him- hold on to them loosely- and see where He leads. It may not make sense, but one day you'll look back and know that God is trustworthy and right and good,

  at least I know I do.
