I just love you all very much and wanted to let you know!
That was all I was planning to write when I opened up this text box, which is so very true and I wanted to express that but then I thought that I should let you all know where I am at in my life and heart. I can really not remember the last time I wrote on here, even though I read it very regularly. So my life ...
I am in my second year now which is exciting. I am still really loving it. I genuinely love learning and I get excited sometimes thinking about how the time I am spending right now reading and writing papers (though mundane at parts) is preparing me for the life God has called me to (even though I don't know exactly what that is yet). I am now doing a double major in Legal Studies and Peace and Conflict Studies. I am trying to live everyday here not looking only towards the future, which is so much the focus in University but to realize that God has called me to life here and now and can serve those around me in little (and big) ways. I still live in residence, which is wonderful and I love it. It is a really great community that teaches and challenges me in so many ways.
There has been some difficult times lately as well. My Poppy (that's what I call my grandpa) passed away on New Year's Eve. It was a hard time. I stood by his bed watching as he took his last breathes. It hurt my heart but at the same time it was full of peace and joy knowing that he was sitting at the feet of His Saviour. In his last hour we read Scripture and sang hymns and it was truly beautiful. He was a good man who loved Jesus and lived his life for him. It was a blessing to see God's faithfulness through this.
On another vein, I am in the midst of trying to make so many decisions for the summer and coming year. It seems so far away but I need to make some concrete decisions in the near future. The problem is that my heart is anything but concrete at the moment. It is being pulled in so many directions. It comes down to that I want to serve God and his children but I have no way in what capacity to that. There are a lot of opportunities, so I am just seeking wisdom and waiting at this point, which to be honest I am not a huge fan of. But once again God is faithful and that is where I need to be.
Oh! My sister is getting married, which is very exciting news in my family. Her fiance is a great guy and I am really excited for them. The wedding is in June and it is going to be beautiful!
I feel like there is so much more that I could say but pretty much that is my life right now. If anyone wants to know more I would absolutely love to chat with you. Also I love writing letters, so if you would like one just get me your address!
I love you all and really appreciate reading about where you are at and praising God for each of you.
Be Blessed to be a blessing,
Saint Catherine (though I am so very far from being a saint)
