How Sweet It Is

It has been a gorgeous past couple of days in Kennesaw. Overzealous dogwood trees are masking their branches behind bouquets of white flowers. The air is a cool, refreshing treat for sun-covered skin. Bees and other insects are enjoying their freedom, zipping from flower to flower. Students are walking around campus wearing shorts and flip-flops. Yes. Spring is here.

Even though spring officially started at the vernal equinox (March 20), spring semester is winding down. Kennesaw students have five weeks left of classes. RUF's Summer Conference is quickly approaching. We are already starting to talk about plans for fall semester. Despite the fact that our days are getting longer, it seems like they are going by faster. Perhaps it's the anticipation of the summer.

While I am very excited to get together with the other interns at Summer Conference, I am not ready for the semester to end. My relationships are blossoming just as beautifully as the springtime flowers. The thought of putting those relationships on hold while everyone goes away for the summer is saddening. I know that because our foundation is built on Christ, we can weather the seasons and continue to grow. It has been a remarkable experience to look back and see where the girls have grown, where I have grown. It's a testimony to the work of the Spirit in our lives. I can't wait to see more of His glory revealed. How sweet it is.

Still, there is the very real possibility that I will not be back in the fall depending on how support-raising goes over the next several months. Don't get me wrong. I have every intention and desire to continue as an RUF Intern at KSU, so long as the Lord wants me here. There is a comfort in knowing He will have me where He wants me. I just hope that this is where He wants me.
