Super Summer

I've been reflecting on the last 2 weeks of back to back Super Summers. I'm exhausted, sad, excited, broken, encouraged and hopeful. I've had the opportunity to meet some amazing college freshmen...you guys blew me away. I am being completely honest when I say that I truly think God is going to do something amazing through you! I see a passion in you that stirs a passion in my heart.
Each week was unique. The first week God reminded me of a lot of things I've learned before, things that I definitely needed reminding of. This week I was able to be much more of an encourager, and God truly blessed me with some amazing encouragers as well. I met some people that spoke truth into my life that I needed to hear...thanks to my new friends for being there for me! I feel like I'm falling more and more in love with Jesus, and I am becoming more satisfied in Him. I'm seeking out what God's will is for my life, but I know right now I am here for a reason...whether here is at Super Summer, working, being single or whatever.

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
we will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Our God, You reign forever,
Our hope, our strong deliverer,
You are the everlasting God,
The everlasting God,
You do not faint
You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need,
You lift us up on wings like eagles.

This song has been my song the past 2 weeks. As I wait on the Lord for many areas of my life, I pray that God will be my strength, and He will be glorified in everything!
