STP Parent Week

Hey everyone! So here at STP it's Parents Week, which is cool, except that my folks aren't coming. I mean, it's not a big deal, but it does change things. We don't have any normally scheduled activities except for Navs AM this morning, and XTAWG tomorrow, which means that I get lots of time that I can spend by myself if I want to. And that's what I've been doing. But I'm really missing people, even though I know that I'm suffering from some moderate introvert exhaustion, which is strange. There are definitely specific people I know I'm missing more than others, especially my team and the people I've gotten to know/know really well. But it's cool. I do need this introvert time for myself, so it's good that I'm getting it.

STP is really going super well, though. I love so many of the people I've gotten to know. It's definitely challenging, but I'm loving it. So, I guess I know that God is speaking to me this summer, I'm just not entirely sure I know what it is that He's saying quite yet. But I'm pretty excited to be here, and to be listening.  I've already learned and been affirmed in a lot of different things, and I know that I'm growing, which is so wonderful. It's been an amazing first half of the summer!

Quick Update on that STP Life

Hey there internet people! Sorry it's been so long since my last post! It's a little crazy here at STP, and the hotel wifi isn't the best, so it's tough getting on the internet and posting, or doing much of anything to be honest.

So real quick post, just because I actually need to be doing some Bible Study Prep right now, I'm TOTALLY loving my team, and my schedule, and the life I've got at the moment. I can definitely see how God is using this summer and this time and these people to change me and grow me. Just yesterday, He showed me a little glimpse of the problems of my own legalistic tendencies through a coworker, which was incredibly frustrating but also definitely helping me grow. And I'm learning to trust God more, to submit to Him, and just to spend time with Him for the sake of being with Him, and not to just learn something, which is really cool. Anyway, I'll expand on this later (I hope!). I've gotta go! We're studying Philippians, and I've got a long way to go before I'm done with b-stud prep! Anyway, love you! Thanks for reading!
