Less than 2 weeks and I will officially be starting a new chapter of my life in Chicago! I am anxious to see what God has been preparing for me. Yet, as I think back on this summer and what God is doing in my life here in Mesa, I am in awe to see what God has for me at THIS moment, right now. I know that God has a will for my life at NorthPark, but he has a will for my life this very second! And I don't want to miss it!
I have been reading through Proverbs for some wisdom and insight and instantly have been overwhelmed with the direction and guidance God is giving to me.
"For attaining wisdom and discipline;
for understanding words of insight;
for aquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
doing what is right and just and fair;
for giving prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young -
let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidence -
for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
Proverbs 1:2-7
Right away I am hit with the thought that wise people seek more wisdom. They refuse to be satisfied with what they already know. They refuse to believe that they have already obtained all the knowledge they can. They seek more. And more importantly they seek the Lord. Because He is the start of all knowledge. That is a mind-blowing thing to tap into. ALL KNOWLEDGE! Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
So, I have committed myself to learning. I refuse to become apathetic and comfortable with what I already know. I commit myself to keep my mind open, to continually learn, to ask questions, and to gain wisdom from those around me who have experienced more than me. And most of all, search out more about who God is. He is the beginning of all to know and all that is....and if there is anything I want to be a part of, it is that Truth.

Hey Brittany,
I think they may be all done in Chicago, but if you hear any news of the next Batman movie being filmed (Titled "Dark Knight") go sneak a peak for me!
