No Place Like Home

God is good - ALL the time! That pretty much sums up the last few days, because He's been doing some absolutely amazing things in my life. Here's what's been going on this week:

• Applied for a summer (PAID) internship with a youth organization to be a summer event coordinator and mentor. The crazy thing is that there's an opening at one of the organization's branches in the town I used to live in - in Montana! I didn't think there was any way I would ever be able to return there since it's so far away from home, but that place truly holds my heart. Anyways, I received a call this afternoon from the youth organization saying that I made it through the initial stages of the application process and all I have left is a phone interview with the supervisor on November 5th. I'm overwhelmed with excitement!
• Completed my application for a spring break missions to Honduras! I have wanted to go on a missions trip since I became a Christian three years ago, but I was always all over the place emotionally and spiritually, so I was never fully surrendered to His spirit. I'm in such an incredible season of my life and I just have such a desire to use this energy to help His children. If I'm selected for the trip, I'd spend the week helping to build an orphanage and run a VBS for the kids in the community. This seems like such a great opportunity and I would love the chance to serve overseas.
• Finally stopped procrastinating and turned in my "Change of Major/Minor" form - I am officially a Student Ministries major, Cross-Cultural Studies minor. Previously, I was a psychology major who, because of transferring to a new school this year, would have graduated a semester behind despite the fact that I completed a full semester of college in high school through dual enrollment. HOWEVER, because God is so faithful and will shower His blessings upon us when we listen and follow His plan, I am now able to graduate on time because every one of my credits from my previous college will count towards my ministry degree. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

Anyways, to add on to all the wonderful things that God has been doing, I get to go home for three days! I'm so excited to see my family, my friends, and my church family as well. This weekend will consist of bike trails, rodeos with my best friend, family dinners, fishing, and incredible worship at my home church. Yeah, this week was definitely a God-given blessing!
