potential trips

I had an amazing Sunday. It was my day of rest, which turned out to not only be refreshing but also encouraging and insightful. I've spent time in prayer looking to find direction about possibilities for this summer. My plan was to take one of my prereq classes this summer so that I didn't have to take three classes in the fall. There are some friends who go to Vietnam every year and lead medical missions. They ask Jenelle and I every year to join them, but it never works out nor was I ever headed down that path. It's funny how this came back around. I spoke with them about beginning school for nursing and what do you think their response was? That's right! "Well, sign up for our trip!" Of course I was hesitant because I already had my plans in place and didn't feel as though I could alter them. Although somewhat open-minded, I was pretty much pushing the idea of going this summer right out the window. Back to having a wonderful Sunday... I ran into a friend who I haven't seen in a while. We got to talking about what I've been up to and some of the things I really wanted to do. Keep in mind that she's almost done with her nursing degree at Loma Linda University. As I was telling her about the trip to Vietnam and not thinking it was possible, she stopped me and told me it was definitely possible for me to take the two classes I was going to take in the Fall, plus the additional class I was going to take in the summer. So, as we went back and forth about how many hours I would be working and what classes I would be taking specifically, things really started to look good. Really, I think it would be an amazing opportunity and get me out on the field before ever beginning the nursing program. Much continued prayer is needed. The application deadline for the trip is coming up, which means I really need to make a decision soon. Please keep me in prayer.

All for now.

This blog is for jenelle. She so desperately desires for me to share something every week. I mean really, she sees me every day already... kicks me out of her room... attacks me... You'd think she wouldn't be interested in my tiny thoughts.

Ok, these are my new thoughts on life and where I see myself going... I really feel like I'm supposed to try out for a hockey team. I mean, after getting back on the ice this last week... I was touched. I almost teared up. Oh ya, and I'm watching Mighty Ducks right now. But that only had a small influence in my decision to pursue hockey. Go ducks!

Oh, and supposedly I have issues with my hairy legs. Any advice as to how to stay motivated in keeping my legs beautiful? Didn't think so. I just recently found out that one of my good friends has never had hair on her legs. She's never had to shave. What's up with that? Gosh! But I bet if she had hair on her legs, she would have trouble staying motivated to!

Ok, enough about my life.

Ok, people have been getting all crazy about updating this blog thingamajiggy. Anyway, based on the last blog I left... Path of life ministries is not in the workings anymore. God has taken me a new direction. I'm currently striving for a nursing degree. Random? I'd say yes and no. Regardless, I've just been asking God to go before me and be the one leading. Now I just have to be listening and obeying. Not too difficult, right? hmmmm...

Ok, I think that's a good start to blogging.... more to come later.

Fast-forward of my life.

I guess since this is my first post, I should at least give a little background and bring you up to date. I will make it quick though, unless anyone has any questions. I was born in Iowa, moved to California when I was 4 years old. I graduated with bachelors in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. I’ve worked at a college and University for 6 years and absolutely love it. I spent a year of those six years serving International students and have fallen in love with so many cultures. Vietnam is definitely my first love, but I have grown quite a burden for the people in Africa. I’m currently waiting to see where He takes me next, but it sure is difficult to be patient. As I wait, I spend a lot of my time with friends, family, and international students (many are friends).

PS. I'm the really blond one.
