Much Has Happened.

Well, a lot has happened since I last posted. I went home for Christmas, and yes, I told my dad about my plans for next year. He was surprised at first, but the more we talked about it, the more he warmed to the idea. He is even supportive now! Praise God. I also went to Boston for the annual Boston Winter Conference. That is a whole new story...

I have wanted to stay in Rochester and intern, but it seems like God has other ideas for me. Everything that has bound me here is being cut loose and my desire to stay is lessening. God has given me such a heart for the world, and I am so excited to see what He will use me for. I looked for a while at working with the Jesus Film project and traveling with them to record new languages. I realized pretty soon after talking to them that my motion sickness would be a pretty good sign that a job where I would be traveling so often just may kill me, or at least make my life pretty miserable. However, I was introduced to Shelley from London STINT (short term international). She is in her 2nd year in London with Agape (Campus Crusade's branch in Europe). After talking with her for a while, I really felt like this was where God wants me. There is a huge international population in London, and a huge Indian and Muslim population as well. These are cultures that I truly have a heart for, and being able to work with them as well as with the English people would be a perfect combination for me.

So, today, I sent in my application to STINT in London next year. It sounds crazy, and I am scared, but I am also so so very excited. I pray that I get accepted and can raise the support that I will need to go. Please keep me in your prayers for all this. God bless you all.
