Moving Forward...

I put together my support letters and I got almost all of them out. I've thought of a few more people I need to send one to, but for the most part I've got it done. I also received my packing list in the mail last week! It was pretty much letting me know things like what the weather will be like, how much it costs to do laundry, values and policies, curfew, what my schedule will be like... and everything else you could imagine! It makes it a little more exciting. And I think I'm beginning to look at myself more as an adult than a little girl. Which is weird! But God is doing something amazing, I can feel it! Which is probably why I can feel the enemy working, too. He's been whispering doubts like "Are you really spiritual enough to be doing something like this? Won't you be out of place? What if you're not like everyone else there? What if they think you're a horrible person for listening to secular music, or wearing a lot of makeup, or dressing the way you do?" But I'm learning how to choose to hear what God says about me. I know that no matter how I look or seem to be, God sees who I really am. He sees my heart. And he loves me the way I am. Because, after all, I am his masterpiece. I'm realizing, more and more, that life is really about trusting God with everything, rather than being consumed with looking the way a christian should look. I mean, Do I really want to spend the rest of my life trying to live up to something that can't possibly be obtained? Or do I simply want to live loved by my king, laying down my life for those around me to bring glory to his name?  So, I'm moving forward towards this amazing journey God has planned for me. And I knew it wouldn't be easy! But this is only the beginning! Be praying for the voice of truth to be so loud that I can't even hear the enemy! God is so good!
