Wow! The last few weeks of school have flown by without any warning! I guess while you are stuck in the library working on sermons and papers it does not seem to fly by, but other than that is does. Looking back, there were some great times of laughter, hard times of stress with papers and finals, and of course lots of memories with friends. The last few weeks have consisted of our floor’s “Dress-Day” when all us ladies on my floor wear a dress and take fun photos, end-of-the-year band social, last outings with bro/sis and friends, and sermons, papers, projects, and other events. My roommate is getting married this summer, so we had a fun night celebrating that, along with a different night celebrating the 3 other ladies on my floor getting married this summer as well!
Francis Chan/Rachel Chan/Rend Collective came to Wheaton Bible, and my sister and I attending that event. Music artists Shane & Shane dropped by Moody to give a concert right before the stressful week of finals. One other highlight of the end of the year was that I was elected President of the Moody Symphonic Band. This made history, because I became the first woman president in the 40+ years of the band (2 other ladies were nominated in the last 5 years, but not elected). Though I pray that I will not take this position for granted, I do know that a lot of responsibility and leadership that comes with the role. Yet, I am even more excited to work with 7 exec teammates in serving the Lord and the band as a whole! Finals for me ended last week, and I stayed to help with graduation on Saturday. It was fun to experience that, yet I was also saddened by how many of my friends will be leaving Moody. But, I do know that God is going to use them in ways we cannot even comprehend, so I know it is a good thing…just bittersweet. Cannot believe that I will be walking that same stage next year!
My summer plans right now are umpiring softball, playing for/standing in/attending weddings (like 9 of them…), and learning the rest of the secretarial things for my grandparent’s business. I am on the waiting list for EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification class at COD (College of DuPage), and if I do not get into the class, will be looking for another job to work during the day (softball games are at night). Last summer while in Uganda I saw the great need for medical treatment. Though I know I do not want to go into full medical school, nurse/doctor programs, I felt that this would be one way to help out and be better prepared for the mission field. I also have always been interested in basic medical training, probably due to my sister’s extensive medical treatments with her diabetes and the time I have spent in doctor’s offices and hospitals with her/my family. We shall see what the Lord has. I am so excited to see what happens this summer and cannot wait to look back and see how I have grown closer to Him.
Looking forward to catching up on life with many of you this summer! Please send me any prayer requests and praises that I may lift to the Lord. Blessings and Prayers!
