So here I am starting off my sophomore year at IWU. I don't feel like I was a freshman this time last year. A lot has happened in my life since then. Im not the same person I was...in a good way though. I've been through a lot of difficulties and trials. God has really tested me and I must say I have failed many times. But He never gave up on me. No one gave up on me. My friends believed in me and knew that I could get out of the rut I was in once. At the end of may term, I was feeling pretty good about my faith. Well then summer came around and I was at home with no one there to support me. It was a very hard summer at times. And I will admit, I messed up and I wish I could change some things about it. Luckily my God is a forgiving God. I couldn't wait to come back to school though. I was an NSO leader this year and I loved every minute of it. I got really close to some of my freshman and I can tell we will be good friends. I had some deep conversations and prayer with them. I can't wait to see them grow while they are here at IWU. I also made a lot of new friends that were NSO leaders as well. Some of them have already really helped me with my faith already and they don't even know it.
I also went to summit this year. Last year I was so stubborn about Summit and I refused to go. Im still mad at myself for that because I can see how much it helped me this year. God is amazing and I don't know what I would do without Him. I know that God has a plan for me. Even though I don't know what it is, I know it's all in his hands and I trust Him completely.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
