This summer was definitely not what I expected. At the beginning it wasn’t what I wanted either. Watching the end of my senior year go to waste was hard and I know I speak for all of the class of 2020 when I say that. This summer was meant to be filled with tearful, joyous goodbyes and final memories before leaving for college. Another 3 months of Covid-19 was never in the agenda. ••• However, God provides. Not despite, but in the midst of this season of Covid God has created ways to connect people and to give me community and memories I won’t be quick to forget. ••• I still was able to go to Georgia where I got to see and spend an incredible time with my oldest friend and our friends before we all leave for school. I got to spend quality time with my mentor before he moved and was able to celebrate the impact he’s had and continues to have on my life. I was also able to hang out with my local friends. These incredible men and women have had such an impact on my life helping shape me into who I am today. This summer was hard for us all but together we were able to make the most of it and together we watched as God continued to work in our community and in us. ••• Leaving for A&M tomorrow has me nostalgic for this summer. I never thought I’d look back and be able to say I really enjoyed the summer of 2020. God has really been on the move, helping me to grow, furthering His kingdom, and having His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I can’t wait to move in tomorrow and continue to see how the Lord moves in this semester and this coming season of college.
