Seriously, this face happens frequently. And it never ceases to make me giggle. It's been a pretty crazy 2009 so far. I can't see how it'll get better, but I know that it will. I'm excited.
And, update...There's like a 99% chance that I shall be in Belgium before the end of the summer. I'm so excited for this, but I'm also so nervous. Yet, it doesn't matter, I'm pretty set on going, and I can't wait to see where this takes me. Even though it'll take me further away from my friends, and my family, I know that it'll be an amazing opportunity. And besides, there's Skype. I'll be fine. Be praying for me though, that I shall be safe, and find a Christian community to be in. That I might touch others' lives, and that whatever is supposed to happen when I come home...does. I know that God is sovereign over my life, and I pray that I trust Him with everything, my future, my life, the plans that I think I have. It'll work out as it's supposed to, whether that's how I want it to, or not. Either way, all things work together for good right?
Wow, Jen! I'm so happy for you and for embracing this opportunity. I know the word embrace goes with doubt and anxiety and unsureness, too, but I'm pretty sure that's normal with big life-changing decisions like these.
ReplyDeleteI don't think such an opportunity would be presented to you unless God had it planned out way in advance for you. College will still be there, you're an amazing, hard-working student. But maybe God is thinking of using your awesome self to work for Him in a different place, a place that you can have more impact on people, on circumstance.
Man, I will pray for you! I know this is hard. But let's keep contact.
Love!
