busy busy busy...

Oh well hello there. Its been a while since we've spoken, hasn't it? I take full blame and sincerely apologize for that. As much as I'd like to tell you I've been off busily doing incredible things, I'll admit to the fact that I've just felt like I've had nothing to post about.

Over the summer I mentioned to someone that I'm going into my sophomore year of college. She told me that if I could survive this year, I'll survive college. Well, I laughed to myself thinking about how I had breezed through my freshman year...

turns out she was right.

The excitement of "being in college" from freshman year is gone. The encouragement of "woohoo! I'm halfway there!" isn't going to appear until next summer. So its a rut that I think the majority of sophomores tend to fall into. But as many little miniature mental breakdowns as my sophomore year has caused, I've managed to keep busy enough to inspire myself to 'keep on truckin' along.'

God's been taking care of me lately. By "taking care of me", you could also say "challenging" me. Aside from helping with Young Adult Group and organizing the St. Lawrence Girls Retreat, He decided that its about time I step into my future ministry.

On October 5th, after weeks of prayers and planning, St. Catherine Church launched her very own youth ministry program...with MaryC. as the youth minister :) 

Everything fell into place so smoothly. The teenagers really enjoyed themselves. I'm so looking forward to what God has in His plan for our new group!

So as ordinary as I claim my life has been, God has been doing extraordinary things. But I'm thankful for the ordinary. If there was no ordinary, we wouldn't appreciate the extraordinary. This is why as crazy and crammed as this sophomore year of mine has been thus far, I'm absolutely loving life.
