learning.

After spending a lot of time in prayer, I applied for fall program several weeks ago. I felt a tug on my heart that I was meant to be there this fall. Yesterday, I found out that I wasn't accepted. At first I was hurt and frustrated, because I had stepped out on a limb and came back with rejection.

But then after spending sweet time with Jesus and having a conversation with a high school friend, I realized what that was. That was God leading me and me following. Just because He led me to apply for fall program doesn't mean that is where he wanted me. How sweet it was to be able to tell my high school friend that I was coming home because God wasn't calling me to live in Pigeon Forge this fall, but that he had called me to apply to teach me how to trust in Him and be willing to follow His leading. 

What an example! I am praising Jesus so much for using me as an example to my sweet friends. I cannot imagine where I would be without Young Life and cannot wait to spend another year leading. 

To think a year and a half ago I was ready to throw in the towel on Young Life and to live my own life, my way is an incredible testament of God's faithfulness and goodness in my life. 

I can truly say I am SO BLESSED.
