I have returned!

     Hello everyone! I’m so sorry for my extremely long absence, I promise I have an excellent excuse! I have officially Graduated High School! I start college on monday (not too excited about it, but oh well…ya gotta do what ya gotta do.) I traveled to Seville Spain on a mission trip, I got my license, I started working as a cast member at Walt Disney World, I went on a cruise to Mexico, and I’ve made so many new friends. Over all it’s been an incredible summer and I’m saddened at the thought that it’s all coming to an end within these next couple of days.

     I was hoping that I could make up for my lack-of-posting by writing a really deep and long post about something really meaningful and from the heart, but right now I think you’re going to be stuck with a post pretty much just updating you on the past few months. My apologise. I promise I’ll get back to the good stuff pretty soon but for now this is what you get.

     As I previously stated, I traveled to Seville Spain in June on a mission trip with my church. I can’t even begin to put into words how amazing that trip was. I am forever changed from the short amount of time we spent over there. God moved in my life, even more so than he did in Ukraine last year. I have realized that missions is what God has called me to do. It’s what feels right to me. I didn’t want to come home from the mission trip, yes I was missing my family, but I was saddened at the thought of going home and getting back into the motions of regular life. After a week of doing all of the mission projects and hanging out with the missionaries and the International World Changers crew, I realized that this is what I need to be doing. Whether it be living internationally full-time as a missionary or working with IWC to organize trips, I don’t know yet. But I do know that this is what I want to do. This is what I feel like God is calling me to do. I’m so excited to see how God uses me in the future, whether it be missions in the US, Europe, Africa, Asia, only God knows, but I can’t wait to see where he takes me.

     On a lighter note, I’ve started working for Disney this spring. I absolutely love it. I work in Recreation (On the boat docks at Port Orleans Resort and Downtown Disney…renting the boats and bikes to guests) I’ve met a ton of great people while working, and I love making people happy, so I feel like Disney is the perfect place for me to work. haha. I’ve really enjoyed it, and I’ve made a lot of new friends. So that’s pretty much where I’ve been all summer!

     Oh! I graduated High School!! I still can’t believe it. It just doesn’t seem possible that I’ve actually reached the time in my life when I have to start growing up and taking on more responsibilities….like College. That just seems crazy to me. These past few years have just flown right by and now I’m a freshman again. Honestly, I’m really excited about this next chapter in my life. I’m excited to see what God’s going to do in these next few years of school. I’m looking forward to becoming more independent and starting to make my own decisions about my life and my future. It’s scary to think about starting college and growing up and moving on with my life, but I’m ready for it. I’m ready to get away from High School and start this new chapter. Will I make mistakes?….of course. Will I sometimes wish I was still in high school with my Mommy doing everything for me?….absolutely. But mistakes and all, I’m ready to take it on.

 

Well friends, I think i’m going to call it a night. I’m glad I finally quit procrastinating and took a few minutes to post an update. It had been on my mind for a while now. haha. But, I promise I won’t wait 4 months before I post again.

Until next time!

-Macey.
