Winding down...

This year has gone by so fast. It is really amazing to me that so much time has past, but it feels like yesterday we were at orientation and I was nervous about meeting so many new people. Now they feel like family and I am sitting here in the common room with a few other people and this feels so much like home.

Tomorrow we all with load up once again in our van with our teacher Pastor Randy and go to a couple of churches in Florida. We are going to be helping them in any way that we can, whether it be hard labor or just encouraging there. This will be our last big trip together as a team. I am excited to go and I know that given the people that the trip will be with, it will me a good trip.
As this year comes to a close, it's really sad, but I am realizing that God has big plans for me and even though they might involve still staying in Sebring, I know that God will help me take what I've learned this year and use it for His glory. Next year, I plan on going to the community college here and also being involved with the youth here. Hopefully too, since I've been through the program, I will be able to tell the other people who are here next year how the year is and also, what to expect and hopefully form a relationship with them too. Basically all I know is that God has a plan for me and that whatever happens next year and in my distant future, that He is in control and I can always fall back on His character and love.
