"i know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?"

i think that line speaks for itself.

so far, this transition has been hard and chaotic and nervewracking. i am now twenty. i have an apartment, which also means bills and responsibility and searches for parking spots. i have sixteen hours to plow through this semester. i am delving into my major and finding out whether i either love it or hate it. many ministry opportunities have been placed in my lab. and the kicker, i am looking for a job.

what a far cry from what i have been so comfortable in.

but i'm in a new season in my life.
not one to rejuvenate.
not one to rest idly.
not one to be silent.
not one to hibernate.

instead, it's a "step up to the plate" kind of season. to be tested and challenged. to be decisive instead of delegating my responsibility to others. to grow in leadership.

am i ready? am i a "wherever you are, be all there" kind of person? NO. but the Lord is with me. He's meeting me at this point in my journey. i just want the desire to make every moment an opportunity to be a vessel just for Him. and i pray that my fear of the unknown will turn to contentment for trusting His steps on the path. (proverbs 16:9)

"and even when i’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
i won’t turn back, i know You are near.
and i will fear no evil, for my God is with me.
and if my God is with me, whom then shall i fear?"

hope you guys are having a great day, week. update me on life. love you.
