Well, it's mid-August, and for me it means I will have one more week in California before I head back to CIU. This semester, I'm going in with changing my major again to elementary education. I would really appreciate prayers about this transition. Everything is working out so far on paper and I am exactly where I should be on track toward graduation in Spring '17. I am trying to figure out what electives I want to take and trying to balance it between fun & practical.
It takes a certain amount of time every break to reach the peace (lacking an overwhelmed ) of returning for another term, since being at home for 3 months gives me a sense of settling and comfort, while knowing that I will be leaving again for 4 months for school. I have been incredibly blessed with good quality time with a great church body, meaningful and insightful fellowship, and the reminder that I am headed where I am supposed to be.
In the past semesters, I have seen God knock down a lot walls I've built for comfort. I feel that knowing the future is unpredictable, while knowing it is in God's hands, is a reason for this peace I have just been handed, and be open to the opportunities.
As summer had started, I have been going back to the Chinese church I grew up in and I found a sense of fulfillment I didn't know was needed. It has felt very home-y smile emoticon Getting to spend a majority of my time with my dad has been so good and it always strikes me much more I learn every time I come back.
I'm excited to go back and help with the middle schoolers at Crossroad's youth group, as it is one of the highlights of my week and for classes to start (surprisingly).
I really do want to stay in touch will you all and hear what you are up to while I am away. Please fill this out if you want to stay in touch during the school year, I'd love to hear about YOU!
