Being away from home is A LOT harder than I expected in all honesty. So much has changed since I graduated from high school that sometimes I can't believe it. One of the biggest changes in leaving my awesome church community back at the beach. And not only that, but my youth pastor and his wife (my small group leader) packed up their lives and moved to Florida to work at his parents' church, so going home to Trinity just isn't the same and that's rather depressing at time.
But of course God is awesome and places things in our paths to reassure us and encourage us as we live for Him. The Younglife bible study that I joined started up two weeks ago and we spent our first meeting together discussing what to dive into this semester, to no avail might I add...And at our meeting last night our leader told us the verdict: JAMES! I almost wanted to cry. For me and the three Trinity girls in our group James holds a special place in our heart because it was our youth pastor's favorite book in the Bible. Getting to explore and dive deeper into a book that is so familiar and so special to me is really a true blessing, I can't wait to discover my own reason to love what James has to say.
