It's gonna take a while before I get used to blogging... :) so be patient with me please!
I'll be home with my family for exactly one month more until I leave for Kansas City.
During this next month, I have to get my visa and buy plane tickets for Bulgaria, read 1,500+ pages for grad school homework/studying, write papers, teach 45 hours of swim lessons, lifeguard for about the same amount, spend time with family and friends, pack for Bulgaria, and raise a few more thousand dollars (I need at least half the total amount before I leave). At first glance, it seems like a lot to do in a month. However, God promises to be with me all the time and take care of me. Remember Matthew 6:34? "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I just need to live each day at a time, trusting God through it all. It's not an easy lesson to learn, and God has to remind me every day to trust in God and not in myself. It's great how has God used different people to encourage me and remind me of this.
On a different note, my boyfriend is in Peru right now! He's on a short-term missions trip helping construct a church as part of his senior engineering project at NNU. I miss him, but I'm glad he's serving God with his gifts. : )
As always, feel free to drop me a note to encourage me or just to say hi! :)
