Day 157-Being at peace

Hey guys,

    So, I'm sure by now many of you know that today was NOT the easiest day in the world for me. Essentially, I got pushed into the regular enrollment round at Wheaton, and I have to wait another 3 months to hear. On top of that, the percentage of students in my position that have actually been ADMITTED to Wheaton is only 30%. So, as I sat in my room this afternoon, sobbing and heartbroken, I was also at peace. I know how strange this sounds, but just hold on, I'll explain. As much as I was sure that I was going to be admitted, and as heartbroken as I am to realize that there's a good chance that I won't be, all through the day today, I had people, some of them GRADUATES of Wheaton tell me that the same thing happened to them. At the same time, I continue to be SO reminded that this life isn't about me, it's about doing my best to live my life for Christ, and spread his love to others. Not my will on this Earth be done, but YOURS o Lord. My life is not my own, because it is hidden in Christ. I know that whatever happens with Wheaton, wherever I end up next fall, THAT is where God wants me to be. For the time being though, God has put me in Lenoir for a reason, and I'm going to ENJOY the time I have here.

<3 Always,
Rose
