It's starting to make sense now...

This summer I had to come to Qing Dao and have these family conflicts. I had to feel overwhelmed with guilt and negative thoughts to realize how to focus and be reminded of God's grace. I had to learn to humble myself by swallowing criticism and following unreasonable requests. Getting rejected from all the internships for this summer, going to Chapter Focus before China, and starting the new AA chapter when we get back...are all a part of God's plans for me, and the new chapter. God's revealing to me the gifts I have to offer, and I hope that I will use them well to serve him. :)
