Another month...trials, memories, and God's goodness!

Yet another month has passed me by, but God is Good! I have been trying to reflect upon all that I have learned this past year, and just cannot stop being amazed at all that has changed an what I have learned from the Lord, experiences/trials, and people He has placed in my life! I am SO blessed!
Updating you on things from the last blog post: Moody's 125th celebration was a great weekend! The speakers, music, and fellowship were all great, and I loved seeing some friends in ministry that I have not seen in a long time.
Besides school, this year I have been serving on the weekly musical praise team called Thursday Nite Praise (TNP for short); Moody Symphonic Band in which I play clarinet and sax, but also am the social rep for activities and in charge of parts of the concert tour schedule; and I have also decided while not to be on the floor Ministry Team this semester, I am in charge of some musical worship times throughout the year.
I have decided to not add another major for my degree, which was a big decision the past couple weeks. Instead, I will either graduate early in December 2012, or take some 'fun' classes that I have been wanting to take and graduate in Spring 2013. Still praying about that.
As far as Uganda and my praying for God to continue to lead, I know that He wants me to return there for sure...I just don't know when or for how long, whether it is just for a visit or for full-time ministry. Continual prayer for HIS guidance is appreciated.
This month we have stayed busy with classes and homework, completing midterms, and having a 3 days off of classes for the required sessions of Moody's annual Missions Conference. This year God specifically brought 3 things that I was reminded of/need to be working on:1) Being a woman of constant, overflowing prayer, 2) God doesn't give us an entire map, but only one or two steps in front of where we need to go, and 3) God doesn't like boxes - He made each of us for a specific purpose in life.
Life at school has been great, with some crazy times on the dorm floor, a slip'n'slide with the bro/sis, frisbee, football, concert at the CSO (Chicago Symphony Orchestra) speaking at my church about Uganda (with my friend Philip who attends Moody but also lives in Uganda), Navy Pier and beach adventures, and lots of laughs and memories!
Looking forward I have 3 huge papers due before Thanksgiving and the band is starting to rehears for the annual Christmas concert Candlelight Carols the first weekend in December.
Thank you all again for your prayers! God is good!
