Life Lately
This semester has been so wonderful! I really love the spring semester at Baylor. It is so much easier to get back into the swing of classes and so many other exciting events happen! January brings rush and a new pledge class, February brings Sing. March brings spring break, April- Diadeloso and May is summertime.
Last semester was a time for big changes in my life and utter reliance on the Lord. I truly believe God carried me through that time. I committed myself to so many things and I was feeling quite overwhelmed by a lack of time. Because of this, I HAD to rely on God for strength and affirmation, as I certainly was not finding it in the world.
This semester, however, has been very different. I have more schoolwork, but also more free time since I committed to fewer organization and events this semester. Many friendships and relationships that are so important are really growing since I have more time to invest in them! My walk with the Lord has also been more peace driven instead of desperation driven. I still must rely upon Lord for strength every day, but this is no longer coming from place of busyness and stress where I need the Lord to provide comfort. Instead, my time with Him is sweeter and slower. It has a more sentimental feeling. Last semester, our conversations were about reliance on Him alone and fulfilling basic emotional needs. This semester we talk more about sitting in peace and loving deeply. As the pace of my life shifted, so did my needs and consequently the things God and I talk about. I am excited to see what He teaches me this semester.
It has been such a joy and blessing to be a part of Tri Delta for one year now. Going through rush on the sorority side was so different, but so fun. It can be a very stressful process and a lot happens. I was so encouraged and uplifted by the integrity of the chapter during rush and I am so proud to be a part of the club I am in. We took a talented, kind, Christ-loving and beautiful pledge class. I know those girls are going to change the Greek system, Baylor and their communities for the better! I also got to take a little this semester. Her name is Emily McWhirter and she is just amazing. She is so loving and genuine, but just so cool at the same time. I love every moment I spend with her and I cannot wait to further our sweet friendship throughout our time in Tri Delt together.
Looking forward, I am so excited about this summer and especially spending the fall in Italy! I am returning to work at Kanakuk for the first half of this summer, and I will then take summer courses at home or have an internship. This fall I will study at Florence University of the Arts in Florence, Italy. Sono molta entusiasta!
This was a brief update and some random musings on my life. I enjoy reflecting through writing, especially publicly, because it really helps me think through the things I would like to say.
Alla prossima volta! Ciao i miei amici!
