this week is one of my favorite weeks on campus; spiritual deepening week. this means two things:

1. Set school aside & focus on Jesus. 

i love that this week tends to be a lesser load for me. it’s a good time to not stress so much over school work & get some good solid jesus time in.

2. Rack up on chapel points.

this is the best time to hit the mother load of chapel points. i am aware that this is the most selfish reason ever. but, hey, a girl’s gotta be practical.

there is a point to all of this, i promise. i have really been struggling with anxiety over my Australia trip. as many of you may know, i am going on a mission trip with TAG (Trevecca Around the Globe). & I AM SO EXCITED. but…the funds have not been coming in as i had planned. some people have given, which has been such a blessing, but my overall goal is just very large. i have been struggling with this because it’s a lot of money to raise. i am a stresser, i always have been. i just don’t know what to do if i don’t raise this money.

BUT all of these anxieties went away this morning. God gave me peace & assured me that He is going to provide & i just couldn’t be more thankful. i encourage all of you this week to cast your cares upon Him. let Him carry your burdens today, He is more than willing.
