this is the end

Ok, so it's been a while since I last wrote, and I finally decided that it's time to end this blog. As much as I enjoyed writing it, I also promised myself that it would only be a summer-thing to document my time with CSM in Chicago. To all of you who read this at some point this summer, i hope you enjoyed my crazy antics and jumbled thoughts.

I miss Chicago and our ministry sites there and the amazing sense of purpose I had every day. I miss the directors and the other AMAZING CSM staff. (click here to read about 'em) I miss who I was while working in Chicago, and I miss how much I got to live out my faith each and every day.

Being back isn't easy- not at all. For awhile I expected it would be, but I was fooled. But one thing I learned this summer is to always be optimistic and rejoice in every situation, because no matter how bad things get, God has blessed me way too much to dwell on the difficult parts of my life. So as I go on this semester, I plan on looking at the good in my life, holding on tight to the memories of this summer, and fighting to be the person I grew to be in Chicago and not compromise that here in Madison.

And with that, it's time to sign off from this blog forever with one of my favorite verses from this summer:

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. ~Psalm 62:5-6

Praise be to God for His blessings and faithfulness this summer! Continue praying for the city and people of Chicago.

Peace-out, Maria :)

These are real, genuine, They are verifiable and student records and
transcripts are also available. This little known secret has been
kept quiet for years. The opportunity exists due to a legal loophole
allowing some established colleges to award degrees at their discretion.

With all of the attention that this news has been generating, I wouldn't
be surprised to see this loophole closed very soon.
