Chiseling... Qualifying... NEXT YEAR

This is my first blog in a while. I am really slacking and its definitely not a good thing.  I used to write all the time.

Hahaha well anyways, the past few weeks (well, month actually) has been one of those defining moments for me. For one, I officially am majoring in Broadcasting and Public Relations.  With a minor in Psychology.  I never thought that I would actually minor in Psychology. It never really crossed my mind that much for me to want to declare it.  But during RA qualifying weekend, we had to do a counseling session and that really hit home for me.  I loved doing it, but at the same time, I want to learn how to better counsel.. to better understand that way people think.  Especially teenagers and young adults.

I'm still in the process of waiting for God to tell me exactly what He wants me to do with my career. But I feel as though these little adjustments that I've been making as far as my major and campus involvement goes are allowing me to get closer to finding out.

But again, God has really been chiseling off hindrances in my life. Whether its with the things I say, or things that I needed to learn how to deal with.  I've especially been convicted heavily on the things that I say.  I am definitely hasty with my words.. or when something bothers me, I tend to go on and on about it.   But in my devotionals, I've been basically reflecting on wisdom. And learned how FOOLISH it is to keep going on with my words. It will definitely bring a lot of trouble my way.

But God is definitely shaping me to become a leader.

I was selected to become an RA for the next school year.  It is absolutely phenomenal! It is also great because at the beginning of the school year, I wasn't sure if I was quite ready to actually take on the role of having the spiritual responsibility of 50+ girls on a hall.   I still have a lot of learning to do, but now, I feel confident that it is the time and place for me to start.  It's going to be a growing process, but I'm excited for it!  Over the next few days, I'll be meeting with possible RA partners and next Friday, I'll get my placement for the next year and then the formatting of the leadership team will begin.  I'm REALLY excited about what God is going to do over the course of the next few months as well as the next school year.

But that is basically my mini update on what has been going on!
