Thus begins 2010
525,600 minutes how do you measure, measure a year?
What a year it's been. My gosh I've grown. God works in such mysterious ways. Though He does everything for the good of those who love Him. I wouldn't trade where I am right now for anything. I'm finally making progress towards my future. I have a couple things running through my head. One i'm so unbelievably excited about but it will so hard. It's a two and half year volunteer committment in an orphange in Honderas. I'd get to teach kids who really need someone to tell them they matter and that God loves them. I'd get to be that example of love for them. It seems like the absolute perfect fit for me. I've always joked to some of my friends that if you plopped down in the middle of an orphanage teaching kids I'd be one of the happiest people ever. So I'm going to apply. If I get accepted it will be one of the hardest things that I'll ever do. But I know in my heart that I need to try. God has a plan for my life that involves me putting my self out there and really going out into the world to be His hands and feet. He's making it all too clear that He's going to take me away from here. It's a yearning in my heart. I need to be out there doing something. It's a desire that only grows stronger the closer I get to graduation. I think this is why I'm still single as well. God hasn't brought the right person into my life yet and I think it's because He knows that If He had brought that guy into my life I wouldn't go. I'd be too afraid to leave or I wouldn't want to be away for that long. Right now is the time in my life where I need to just focus on what God wants me to do and just live. If I fix my eyes on Him and just keep running I'll get to where I need to go. Whoever God has planned for me will be there running next to me. God is good and never have I felt more at peace with my future. I'm scared stiff to start student teaching and then even more so graduate but I have peace. God has a plan. He won't forget me and He won't desert me.
