Time Flies!

Wow. Is that an emotion? Maybe? Well that's the feeling I am getting right now. My work day ended, and I figured that there is no better time to blog than the present. Too bad we don't center our lives around that idea. The present. We don't live in it and we definitely do not spend our time thinking about it. Students have about a week and a half left of classes! Yea, that's it! So naturally, they are running around studying for tests, preping for finals, and for SENIORS this is the time to be scrambling for resumes, interviews, summer employment, apartment shopping, and transition. I remember, it was only a year ago that I too was stressing out trying to determine what I would be doing next year. Luckily for me things worked out an I was able to spend my year in AmeriCorps volunteering and serving the New Wilmington community, aka my 2nd home.

Now I feel as though I should take stock of my time as the school year wraps up and my year of service is coming to a close. Wow. The Drinko Center and Westminster has blessed me with another year of wonderful work, excitment, and amazing relationships. Time to make a list (my mom would be proud, she loves lists)

Continued playing frisbee, you can't get me to stop, I love those kids too much
Attended FCA meetings, its just an amazing group of special people
Shout out to our bible study, great times with great people with big hearts
Served others in nearby communities: New Wilmington, New Castle, Farrell, North Liberty
Worked with some committed students through my Scholars in Service program
Spent time with the few close friends who are still around
Worshiped with awesome believers at Neshanock and New Life
Made new friends who have helped fill me and put the spark back into my life
....I guess I can stop there and add to this list later, but it has been a wonderful year, and I am so extremely blessed to have this place and these people around me! =)

Shout out to my friends old and new that have encouraged me this year! You know who you are.
