Post Graduation Blues and Upcoming Events

Yes, from the title this post may sound silly, but I have been struggling with boredom. Graduation was only a few weeks ago but it already seems longer than that. I have been trying to fill my days with a mixture of productive and fun activities.

Progress on my transition to attend Southern Nazarene University is going well. Thankfully the finances, which were the initial concern, are by the grace of God working out fine. Housing also has been taken care of through an incredible blessing from some family members in Bethany, Oklahoma, which has made it possible for me to live off-campus, saving a huge sum of money, but also living in close proximity to the campus. I would really appreciate your prayers though. I am still struggling with finding a major that is the best fit for me. I have considered several different options, but none of them seem to feel right.

One of the activities that have been filling my days has been studying for our up-coming Bible quizzing competitions. Last weekend was our regional competition at Southern Nazarene University. The weekend went very well and was both exciting and fun!!

Because this was my senior year in highschool, this also was my last year to participate in quizzing. Therefore, I had a very big push to do well. At the end of the weekend I placed 3rd in the A division and also qualified to quiz for SNU at our national event at Olivet Nazarene University on July 2-7.
Because of this my siblings and myself will continue to study for this big competition. 

In the weeks and months to come I would greatly appreciate your prayers as I continue to seek the Lord's will for my life.
