Strange, but awesome feeling

Well, it has been quite some time since I have last updated! So here goes an update…

Bruster’s is going well. I’m finally done with training, and I absolutely love it! I got to take my first take home of ice cream yesterday (we’re allowed to take up to a double scoop home on the days that we work). I was super excited, and of course, I brought home my all time favorite! Mint Chocolate Chip. And Bruster’s has THE BEST Mint Chocolate Chip!

School is busy, as usual. I have a midterm on thursday that I’m a little worried about, but I’m trying to lift those anxieties up to the Lord. The midterm is in Intro to Exceptional Learners, and my professor basically wants us to know everything in the first six chapters of the book. But other than that, things are good!

Discernment is fantastic. I went on a retreat this past weekend and the strangest feeling of peace came over me. As many people know by now, I am in a new relationship, and strangely, for the first time in 3 years I have absolutely no desire to look into any religious communities. It doesn’t mean that I am no longer open to religious life, because I really am, but I just have no desire to even look at another community right now. It is actually a grace. I am so excited to see what the Lord has planned for this new relationship!

I’m reading a new book now! Its called Captivating by John and Stasi Elredge. It’s a fantastic book about unveiling a woman’s heart. Its amazing, all you women out there should read it!

I love how God likes to keep my life adventurous!

Better week

I just got back from camp yesterday evening. I go back Tuesday evening for the last session. This past session was a teen session where we served young people from 16-20. It was a really easy session and a much more positive session. Some of the staff members that were partially the source of negativity had left. It was also the secret pal session, so everyone was focused on lifting each other up! Which is the way it should be! So I enjoyed this session, but for some reason, I am still not at peace and my heart is not in it. There was also a prank pulled again this session, but thankfully it was a good one. People actually got a laugh out of it and it affected no one personally. If pranks are going to be pulled, this is the way they should be.

Now that is pretty hilarious.

My mom went to a conference at Franciscan University in Stubenville, Ohio last weekend, so I got to hear all about it yesterday. It sounds like it was pretty amazing. Mommy got my sister and I rings that say Love because there is Faith, Hope, and Charity (Love), and the greatest of these is Love. She bought a couple of books. One in particular stuck out to me. Have you read the God Delusion? Well, Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker have written a book to counteract what the God Delusion has done to the Christian religion. People have actually left the church based on this book. So Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker had to come up with something to tell people the Truth. So they wrote a book called Answering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins’ Case Against God. It seems like a great book to read, especially for young adults who are so influential.

God is so good!
