So Many Things Unclear, So Many Things Unknown

This semester, as you have read about, has been a complete whirlwind. When I came back from Orlando to begin my senior year I honestly did not imagine half of the things that happened would happen. But through the ups and downs, I have grown immensely from all of it.

Yet, I can't help but feel like so many other things are unclear and unknown.

With about six weeks left of the fall semester, I am beginning to truly think about what I am going to do after college. Do I stay in Lynchburg and work at Liberty? Do I begin the search for jobs in New York and figure out where I'd like to live? Where do I really stand with my employment with Disney? Which professor do I ask to write me a letter of recommendation for the master's program? These are all questions that I need to seek answers to, and sooner rather than later is preferred.

A Much Needed Fall Break

Two weeks ago was Liberty's fall break. Normally, I do not go anywhere for fall break; I just stay home and work a little extra. But this time around, I was able to go home with my friend Jess and on Friday we got to go to my favorite place: New York City. I was so excited to actually be traveling for fall break, and maybe it would actually feel like a break.

And it did, especially this year.

Life is the Bubbles Under the Sea

For about the past month, I have been fulfilling my Christian and Community Service (CSER) requirement by being an usher at my school's theater. When I learned this summer that the first show would be "The Little Mermaid", I was ecstatic! I knew that I would be having a slight case of post-Disney depression upon my return to campus, so being able to have some Disney magic in Lynchburg was going to be a dream come true!

It Is Unbelievable How Enough You Are

C.S. Lewis said, "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." As a girl, especially as a girl who was raised on Disney and worked for Disney, I know all too well about fairy tales. Damsels in distress, far away places, daring sword fights, princes in disguise, all of that and more. And as a Christian, one of the most amazing fairy tales is that Jesus gave his own life so that those who believe in him can have everlasting life. So I have been asking the question for years when will my fairy tale begin? When is someone else (in addition to the Lord) going to rescue and fight for me?
