I know its a long way from summer. But I cannot get my mind off of Mt. Hermon. There are so many things reminding me about it. Its crazy. Now, don't think that I am not 100% here at PLNU or think that I am not content being here. I am very happy at the moment cruising through school and finishing the things that God has assigned me with here. I've been investing a lot of my time in my school work and the hard work has been worth my while. I've been content where God has me at the moment.
After the end of the day, my heart longs to serve. That is the whole essence of me. I was created to serve. I've been thinking about my kids a lot. Wondering if they even took anything out of last summer. Wondering if the kids who needed extra love are safe. I'm sure they are. We have an amazing Father. I send a short prayer there way whenever they come into my head.
Its funny how much the last summer really changed my life. I have become so much more confident in my capabilities and gifts that God has blessed me with. Its really helped me get through the challenges I have faced here at Point Loma this year. I have had to make the decision of whether or not I will return to Mt. Hermon for the summer of 2012.
Well, I can happily say that the pros far out way the cons. I have decided to put my future plans in Christ's hands. I trust that He will take my plans and make everything work out. In the mean time, this servant needs to love. God has given me this gift. I need and want to use it to further His kingdom....even if it means 17 units for the rest of college. Hey, if I can do what I did last summer, I can definitely pull through school with God's strength. He never fails to give us strength. I'm pretty sure that He has given me this desire to return for a reason. I am determined to go back to Mt. Hermon, put my 'Kricket' name tag back on and love recklessly. I want to be open to what God has for me.
His work will never cease until He returns. I want to love kids because Christ has so greatly loved me.
Mt. Hermon 2012. Kricket is coming back with full armor of God on and a heart full of love.
"We must go live to feed the hungry/Stand beside the broken/We must go/Stepping forward keep us from just singing/Move us into action/We must go."
i cannot wait for this summer! seeing everyone again and talking with you and Tiger and Ollie made me realize that i was being somewhat selfish in my plans to stay at school this summer. the past few months i've really felt my heart pulled back to mt hermon with a force that i could not control. i'm so glad i finally gave in to the pull on my heart to return. i can't wait for another summer as Puffin with you, Dear Kricket :)
