This is me!!
Hey Family!!
I am so sorry that I have not given you guys an update in a long time, a lot has happened!
So this last summer was incredible!! I was working on the most amazing CIT team with Tyler Cassidy, Kristie Voth and the one and only Jim Badke!!! Working with the CITs was the most amazing thing ever. I was living out my passion; God blessed me so much with those guys and an incredible love for them, it was such a blessing to be able to Baptize one of the girls with Kristie!! I learned a lot of lesions (with the help of my team!), but the two biggest ones were finding joy and rest. I was incredibly tired for most of the summer and learned the difference between physical exhaustion and emotional. It is very hard to learn how to rest especially when you are a restless person, but God is patient and faithful and is still teaching me what it means!!
Before the summer started I applied to go to Birercrest this fall and by no surprise got accepted. This was definitely a huge step of faith as I had no idea what I was going to take or how I would get the money, or any details, but I knew that I needed to do it to almost (for lack of a better term) prove to myself and God that I trust him. But in contradiction to that I realized that I needed to be at home this fall and rebuild some relationships, rest (though I hate to admit it) and to re-establish home before I keep going (applying for Briercrest was what I needed to do, but I am not attending yet, if that makes sence.). So I started to really pray and figure out what that would look like. It started with a road trip to the Grand Canyon with 7 close friends before I came home. It was a dream if mine and somthing that I had been preying about for a long time So yeah the week after camp ended we headed down to LA via a 36 hour train ride and hit up Disney Land, Las Vegas ( I don't recommend it),and the Grand Canyon!!! It was incredible...I learned a lot about chillin out and letting other people take control and just about being... It was incredible and I very highly recommend it!!!
So since I have been home from the trip I have been looking for a job and just hanging out. I am having a very hard time finding a desire to do anything, I am not sure if I am just lazy or resting... I am trying to think of things to fill my time with like a hobby or something but realizing that I don't really have any. I am feeling like I am in a place where I have no passion or desire or focus for anything. But I also feel like this is just a short time, like the New Year God has some huge plans that I am going to be living out. It kind of makes it hard to commit to anything because I don't really want to ditch out on people, but I honestly don't know what to do...
I am realizing the hypocrisy in my life and trying to figure out how to rid that out of my life, but at the same time not spending the needed time in the word to be living after Christ's example. It is so weird, I am almost in a place of Apathy, since when am I, Sheri Geiger apathetic?? Or am I just at a stage where I need to rest and not think hard about anything? I am not too sure!
Anyways, I am living in a super cheep ( and colourful) condo with my sister right now, which is amazing, because our relationship needs lots of work and God has provided this as a sweet place to do it!!!
I am also attending LFBC again and love it so much!! I have never enjoyed that church, but am so blessed by it right now and though I am not involved in ministry right now am hoping to be on the missions committee as I am wanting to be doing missions....We will see!!
I do have a very part time job right now at the boys and girls club, and am hopefully getting another job at a coffee shop in Ladysmith it would be ideal for these two jobs to work out.
I am wanting to save up to go travelling to NZ and Auzzie, or to go to school (I once again am not sure at all!!)
So this is me I am sorry if it doesn’t make sense at all and if it is scatter brained. I am hesitant to write this stuff out because I can see how it could be portrayed as a sob story, but it is not that at all, I am so excited for what God has been doing and what he is doing and what he will be doing in my life! I love you all so much and miss you a lot!!!
