Resting on the Wings of an Eagle.

This summer has taken its toll on me.  Don't get me wrong, I absolutely ADORED being a member of Deep Impact's staff.  I'd love to get the opportunity to work with them again next summer.  But the transition has been hard.

I keep thinking of my fellow staff, especially Blue Team..  Every time I hear that silly whistle alert tone that comes with the iPhone, I think of Cameron.  When I hear anything with a beat, I imagine Ethan  banging on whatever is closest to pound it out.  When I hear "All My Fountains" or "Take it All" or any of the other songs, I hear Carson and Abigail singing sweet songs together.  And every time I talk about Monster's University or Despicable Me 2, I think of Autumn and all the fun times we had.  

But there is also so much to do now.  I'm remembering the past, but I'm also super excited for the present and future.  

I'm in leadership positions in both Cru, my ministry on campus, and Lawndale, the church I go to.  I've reconnected with so many people, and I'm already building new friendships.  I'm starting to help with the worship team in the college ministry in my church.  I'm itching to get back to choir.  I love my classes so far and I'm actually excited to go to them (though not as excited to do the work itself).  

I'm stuck between this amazing, God-inspired and spiritually uplifting summer and the fantastic potential to see how God moves here.  Most days I feel like I'm barely hanging on, one hand on the amazing summer experiences and the other reaching ahead toward the near future.  

Sometimes, being very involved in things is hard.  

But I know I serve a God who tells me that if I walk in him, I won't grow weary.  That, with him, I will soar on wings like eagles.  

So I rest in my Lord.  I pray for smooth sailing, but I know that when the air gets rough, I have the Creator of the Universe by my side, carrying me on His wings.
