Updates on well, everything.
Africa...
I am still waiting on the official email that says everything is a go, but in the meantime I'm getting things accomplished.
*Dates for vaccinations are set up (12/20/12)
*Passport application completed and turned in. (4-6 weeks this girl will have a passport, and will hopefully have exact dates by that time)
Most importantly, I feel that this call keeps being reaffirmed by God. Every time I begin to doubt without fail the Holy Spirit has come to remind me of why this is happening, and how blessed I am to have this opportunity. Also without fail right when I think something will stand in my way, the obstacle is promptly conquered...God has that ability, and it is amazing to watch.
Work....
As of today, I have accepted a full-time teller position at Great Southern. Here is the amazing thing, my managers are fully aware that I am leaving for Africa in the spring, and they are proceeding with this offer anyway. This was not the original plan, but it feels to me like it is God's plan. This is a guaranteed extra ten hours a week that can be applied to saving for Africa. It is beautiful how God has truly worked this situation out. His plans keep becoming more apparent, and I couldn't be happier.
School....
I rock at reading Children's Literature, and I also rock at British Lit essays. So basically, I am rocking this semester out, and actually LOVING my classes. This section purely got added because zero times in the history of my college life have I loved my classes, and I feel like documenting this time is awfully important.
Life in General...
I made a decision last week that has been slowly but surely approaching for almost six months now. I'm not ready to really talk about it, past that I could really use some prayers. Tomorrow night could be a real game-changer in my life so pray that everything happens the way it is supposed too. I need quite a bit of courage and some luck, and unfortunately I have misplaced my Felix Felicis potion (Harry Potter references are totally necessary, please do not judge me.) Regardless send up some prayers for me in regards to this matter, and I would be incredibly grateful.
In other news,
God keeps showing up, and I just hope I continue to pursue Him more and more everyday. More Him, and less me.
This is all fantastic! It gives me shivers to see God working like this in a friend's (or anyone's) life. Wonderful! I surely will be praying for you. And congrats on the job!
