Reflections...

Hey lovely people :)

Guess what??? School's finished!!! (like 2 weeks ago :P) and now I'm about to leave Bozeman :(

I've decided I don't want to leave Bozeman though... I really like it here! And I have made some wonderful friends who I don't want to leave! It's got me thinking about what an amazing semester I have had here in Bozeman and all the things I have done and learnt and experienced. So I'm gonna tell ya'll what I've learnt and how I've grown and changed this semester!!! :)

Firstly, I have grown so so much in my walk with God. Having to trust Him for everything can do that to a person! :P I have loved going to Bible study and CrossLife and church every week and just learning so much about God. We've been doing a study on the characteristics of God in CrossLife and Bible study which has been AMAZING!!! This semester I have found myself praying so much more often and reading my Bible all the time! More than I ever used to :)

Something else I have learnt... sorta connected to the last one is that I have grown as a person. I have grown as a preservice teacher at MSU and learnt some amazing things that I can't wait to use in my own classroom one day :) And I've learnt that maybe God has more planned for me than I had planned for me! I really feel like He's been broadening my thoughts for the future and what I can do, which is super exciting! To see God lead me and change me and help me follow His will :)

Another thing I have discovered is that living somewhere and not just being a tourist is a wonderful thing until it's time to leave!!! I feel like I've left a bit of my heart here now... same as in Canada when we lived there... and I love it and hate it all at once! It's really cool that I have so many connections and friends and memories here now but it makes it so much harder to say goodbye and leave! Even if I am going home to see my family who I haven't seen in forever :)

As for my experiences and adventures... well you just gotta look back through my blog posts to see all the wonderful things I've been able to do here!!! ;) and it's not over yet! I'm about to head off on a big traveling trip ending in Canada for a month before I fly home!

But don't worry... I'll tell ya all about what I'm up to and keep you in the loop with photos and stories :) And hopefully I'll be back in Bozeman before ya know it! ;)
