One thing

If there is only one thing that you could take away from this semester what would it be? a new friend? a difficult lesson? a great experience?

For me it would be the joy that I've found in being used.

Last year, through the summer, and into the beginning of this year was really difficult for me mainly because I felt worthless. I couldn't see how God was using me and honestly thought that he had cast me aside for a while.

Even over the summer, surrounded by kids and great opportunities to be effective for Christ I felt like I wasn't having an impact on anyone. I love little kids, but I really struggled with how to communicate my faith to them.

Anyways, God really worked on my heart during the fall semester, and showed me what he was doing and some things he had planned for me. He really opened my eyes to some awesome opportunities he's given to share my faith and encourage other Christians.

I've found the confidence in Christ from what he has done in my life that I felt like I was missing before. I've had conversations and done things that I know came from the Holy Spirit because there is know way I would have known what to say or what to do on my own.

It feels so good to be used.

Because of his grace and for his glory.
