This summer has been absolutely fantastic! I've been to the beach every day, I have a beautiful natural tan, and my hair has never looked better! It's been so relaxing, and everything about my life has been totally normal.
Except... not.
I get up almost every day at 3 am to go to work at Dunkin Donuts. I haven't been to the beach, not once. I have an awkward farmers tan from the few days I actually have spent outside, and my hair almost constantly looks like a disaster. With college coming up in 11 days (11 DAYS! OH MY GOODNESS!) I've never been so stressed about money and back-to-school shopping. My life is CRAZY.
And yet with all this stress, it's been so evident that God is working right now. He's been blessing my family with random amounts of money towards college that we never saw coming, and giving me opportunities to do fun things (like an amusement park) for free.
And with so little time left before my whole world changes, I could be really afraid. But I'm not. I'm confident in the knowledge that I'm not doing this all by myself. So here I am, sitting on my couch, excited and really looking forward to next week. Gordon College, here I come!
"The Lord himself goes before you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." ~ Deuteronomy 31:8

I love that verse. I'm going to be repeating it to myself a bunch this week for sure
