too much?

Biola looks more and more different every time I come back. The caf is filled with younger and more stylish kids, the walkways are busier, and new faces are popping up everywhere. But I'm still grateful for all that I've learned and the ways I've grown because of this place. I'm going to enjoy each moment I have left here, but at the same time look ahead with excitement toward life to come.

Speaking of what's to come...

I need prayer. Lots of it. So much so in the next few days. All the plans I've made for the next year are being shaken up a little... I mean, there are many things, namely one, that will not change. But as far as where I'll be living and what I'll be doing... I have never given something up to God with such sincerity and confusion. There are several options, and up until this point I thought I knew what this year would look like, but a few revelations and doors have opened up today that has taken everything I've planned and put it in a blender. I really have no idea what it means... if it's just an option I'm going to turn down, or if it's an avenue that my life will end up taking. Tomorrow will be a pivotal day that's going to involve a lot of talking and praying. Lots and lots of prayer. So all that is to say this: if you think of it, pray for discernment and open eyes to God's leading. For me, for Joel, and that we'd be open to what God has for us. I'm usually not this specific about personal things like this over the vast space of the internet, but I value prayer from my friends in all areas, especially when it comes to Joel and I, and I really need it.

Thanks, friends. I'll let you know how it turns out...
