An official RA.

These past couple weeks have been crazily exciting. First of all, I'm going to be an RA (resident assistant) and that in and of itself is all very new to me. To think that I'm going to be/get to be serving twenty or so girls my age or older frightens me, while at the same time, makes me ecstatic to see what the Lord is going to do within us as a whole and as individuals. I am so humbled that the Lord would allow me to be a part of this community and use me as a means for His purposes in serving those around me.

It's all been challenging for me in the sense that I felt unprepared and not ready; no vision, really, for this community of unique girls and this living place in which we all share. That was something I really struggled with and often, I used the excuse of having less than two weeks to prepare for a years worth of stuff. So yes, I'm pretty nervous about the year; about how everything will play out; about how these girls will be ...


However, I've found much comfort in the Lord when I'm reminded that this doing is not for myself or solely for these girls that I get to serve and it's also encouraging to know that I'm not alone in this. I'm thankful that the Lord is always faithful and continues to provide for me in strength, comfort, and assurance.
