Well hello there...

So, lets just say I am a hardcore slacker when it comes to this thing. My friends have an assignment for one of their classes to write a blog, so it inspired me to catch up on mine. A lot has happened in my life. I am working on the third month of my last semester of undergrad. This is scary for me because I need to begin making decisions that are legitimately going to affect my future. The plan tentatively for now is to go to seminary in January and be looking into going overseas in the next few years.

This is where it gets real scary. A few weeks ago I talked to a missionary about the calling I feel to go overseas. He was very honest and open with me. My questions were: do I need to have a husband? is it biblical of me to do missions? what can I do in being single? The missionary really set my mind at ease and encouraged me to go to missions meetings and whatnot. HOWEVER, it is crazy to see just how quickly Satan will try to get you to go the opposite way of where Christ wants you to go. Basically since I made the decision to go overseas and do missions. Satan has been putting things in my way that have made me cower at the idea. I knew this and yet I still let those things consume me to a certain extent. One thing though is that it is so awesome to see God be victorious over those things. Basically I have been blessed because God has shut the door on many of the desires that I had that if fulfilled would put an end to my sharing his gospel with the world through missions overseas.

Basically we serve a great God and we do not show our appreciation enough. This is another thing I have noticed in my life. I am working to change this and know that one day I will be strong and I will follow God's calling for me...stay tuned...
