I must share about an incredibly awesome story that just goes to show God’s providence in all the craziness that abounds! Last Friday at church, I really felt a stirring in my heart about potentially moving within the next year or two and really feeling a leading to go out of the country (something out of my comfort zone even after the experience in Spain). I kind of dismissed it to just getting restless here and wanting a change, etc.
Enter Bekah’s invitation to a women’s night with her church! I knew when she asked it was where I needed to be. I received such encouragement, direction, affirmation, prayer, enlightenment, etc. that my thoughts have been confirmed. The thoughts, dreams, and visions are from God! I am excited about embarking on this journey to see where it may lead!! Please keep me in prayer as I desire and strive to follow His will for my life! Seven years later (I became a Christian on 10/27/00), I think it’s about time to follow His lead!
I would appreciate prayer for:
1. Direction
2. Finances (getting out of debt, paying off loans, etc.)
3. Commitment
Thank you so much! God bless you all!!!

So, as I endlessly search through friends’ blogs and updates, I constantly wonder how they get theirs to look so cool! I’ve tried starting a blog before, but failed. With over one year of taking the first step and less than five entries, I came up far short of my overly ambitious blogging dreams! So, I will start again with the same lofty dreams, but a different approach! I am going for short and sweet; something that, those who know me well, is quite difficult for me. I especially appreciate that there is a word count holding me accountable as a speak…or type, rather! So under 200 will be my goal. I will now type a list (surprise, surprise) of some things on my mind:
1. I really want to learn to speak Spanish…fluently (so I’m listening to the Spanish channel and debating a move to a Spanish-speaking country)
2. I made the tough decision of breaking up with my boyfriend this week. Heartbreaking, but something that needed to be done in order for us to grow.
3. I am excited to take this time to fall more in love with Jesus and get back to where I want to be spiritually!
