Welcome!

I was led to Senegal, West Africa this summer by the grace of God. I was able to live there for 6 weeks thanks to many of my friends and family who supported me. Without them, this trip would not have been possible and I am forever grateful. This blog is a collection of my thoughts, experiences, and pictures while in Senegal. Hope you enjoy!

Break

This past weekend was Fall Break. It’s supposed to be a time where we get a break from all the studying and stress from school and get to relax. While I did have a break from the studying, I wouldn’t say this past weekend was any less stressful or more relaxing than usual.

This summer I interned at my church at home and worked mostly with the youth group. The youth girls were taking a trip to Charlotte Friday and Saturday for the “Revolve Tour.” It was a retreat for girls that involved a few bands and many great speakers. After stressing over an anatomy exam all week and not sleeping very much I had to drive to Charlotte to meet my youth group girls. (I had promised I would help out during the retreat) Saturday afternoon when the retreat was over, I went on home, which was another hour drive. Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon I was able to spend some time with my family, which was nice since I hadn’t seen them in over a month. It was nice to relax with them after a stressful month at school and weekend with the girls in Charlotte. Monday, however, quickly became stressful again. I had so much to do and I didn’t hardly get anything done. And now, I’m back in Wilmington, with so much to do. Every time I go home, I never get anything done. I should know this by now, but for some reason I always think it will be different and I’ll actually do something. But I never do. So here comes another stressful week…bring it on.
