Decisions, Decisions, Decisions…

Can you believe it?! It’s almost April! My first year at Bethel is flying by! Right now, I am really busy with schoolwork, and life stuff. This was the week of decisions.
First, I had to decide who I would be rooming with next year. I am SOOO excited because I have the chance to room with a Shupe RA, Leah. She and I are pretty good friends, and when she approached me about it, I was honestly a little surprised, but really honored and excited for the opportunity. I told her I would need to pray about it, and last week, I felt God saying “YES, Amy, this is the right thing!” So, for anyone reading this who is going to be a freshman girl next year, hopefully I get to be your next-door neighbor!
Second, I had to decide what I wanted to do as far as activities go next year. This year I was honored to be the freshman vice-president. It was a really awesome job and very rewarding, but I feel like I need to give someone else a chance for next year. And I fell like God is tugging at me in another direction, so I will not campaign or run for the position. I feel really good about this. I recently interviewed to be a block mentor, a leader who works with incoming freshman during orientation and throughout the first semester. I became really close with my mentors last semester, so if it’s in God’s will for me to mentor next year, I hope I can become as close with my block! But, that’s up to God if He wants me in that position. I find out sometime this week!
Third, I had to decide what I need to do this summer as far as work goes, but that’s unrelated to Bethel things. I might be a Summer Camp Counselor at a Hope Montessori School back in my hometown in St. Louis. But that’s still TBD.
So many decisions. So little time. God is really working in me now. Let’s see where this goes :)

I need to de-stress myself sometimes, so I watch this: Ladder Blooper

    Hello!
    I know this is strange but let me explain. I’m the wife of a United States Marine in South Bend IN. I run an organization called The”Soldiers” Left Behind. I’ve been reaching out to area schools and churches trying to get their youths to donate gently used clothing items. We have had so many do so, but now the problem we are running into is having people donate items that would fit young ladies and jr sizes. I was wondering if with you being the freshman vp, if you could spread the word to those in the school, or dorms and let them know what i’m doing along with the Marines, and possibly have them do a little of cleaning out their closets to donate items of clothing they may no longer need? Please feel free to contact me and let me know what you think? Thanks so much and God bless.
