Mixed Emotions

My freshman year here at Salisbury is coming to a close and I have very mixed emotions.  I am very excited for summer, yet I am also at the same time dreading it.  I am looking forward to experiencing new things in San Diego and strengthening my faith and bringing the things that I learned back to CRU here in Maryland.  I will meet new people and hopefully make some new friends that will last a lifetime.  But one of the hardest things for me is dealing with being out of my comfort zone.  I have never been away from home or school for more than a week.  I won't even know anyone there.  This is a scary thought for me.  I don't know what to expect.  Summer Project is going to be something to challenge me, and, God, I am willing to accept this challenge.  No matter how much loneliness I feel at first, I know you will provide for me and it will be the best experience of my life!

That is going to be what I am going to, but what is going to affect me most is what I am leaving here at Salisbury.  So many people have affected my life and I just wanted to thank each one of you.

If I were to explain how each of you has affected my life, it would take too long, but I thank God for placing you all in my life this year.  You make me laugh, I can turn to you for advice, and you help me in my times of need.  You all have made my freshman year so awesome and I cannot wait for sophomore year to start!  You don;t know how much I am going to miss all of you over this summer.

During my time in San Diego I will keep this blog updated to the best of my ability as to what God is doing in my life.  I suggest you all read it this summer!
