Let the Journey Begin


The apartment I currently live in has a bus that brings me right to campus. However, every Tuesday and Thursday I drive to the commuter lot. Why, you might ask. Well, there is a little red car that caught my eye one day. This car really is nothing special. It looks like a late 90s model of just a basic sedan. To be honest, I don’t even know the make and model. But, there is something about this car that caught my attention. It has North Dakota plates. I drive to campus and see this car two days a week parked in about the same place. I go out of my way hoping to one day meet the driver of this car. At times, I feel somewhat stalkerish towards the owner of this red sedan. But, I am realizing that I just want to have a good conversation with the owner about his/her home state. I have a mental image of what this person is like. It is probably all wrong.

Anyways, enough about my obsession with a car owner. I am very excited about changes that are happening in my life. I was recently accepted to intern with Campus Crusade for Christ at the University of North Dakota!!! That’s right, I am going to be moving to Grand Forks, North Dakota at the end of the summer. I can’t think of a time in life that I have ever been more excited and terrified. I am ready to start this next step of my life and see where God takes me and uses me. However, there is a lot to be done between now and then.

Please pray that I can focus on where God has me now. I still have a month of classes left at ECU. Pray that my fears will be calmed. There is a lot of things that have to happen before I can move (finding housing, support raising, ect.). It is so easy for me to fret about all of this. But, God is very much in control. Yes, I am so excited about this new page and I want to thank you for joining me on this most epic journey.

"Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have falled for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand. I will not be shaken." -Psalms 16:5-8
