Say what?

The move down here was completely out of nowhere. I got to spend an entire summer in Chattanooga studying God's word and receiving great training. So one night during one of the camps, I was listening really intently to Ritchie's message and all of the sudden I hear, "You can't go back to Owosso, you have to move". I kind of sit there and say, "what?" I mean, I LOVED the job that I had, the friends I had, the area that I lived. I was the girl who was never leaving Michigan. Okay, I was never leaving Owosso. So I talked to Brooke and Carlotta on the way home that night and we were all kind of like, "What? Really?" So I started praying about it. I mean, obviously I wanted to do the right thing.

The last weekend that I was at Precept I was in training. The second morning of training I really felt the Lord leading me to talk to someone about interning there. I said, "Okay Lord, no problem... just give me someone to talk to"... Well, less than three hours later I was sitting at the lunch table, speaking with a dearly loved and looked up to mentor, and we were talking about (you'll never guess)... an internship. The following Tuesday I went home and the next day I was in full swing of things.

Around two weeks later, it was worked out that I could come back and complete my business internship and have a place to live. I just knew it was the next step for me to take. So for the next six weeks, I spent time with my mom, worked, got school in order, and spent time with my sweet and dearly missed friends. Saying goodbye. Not knowing what would happen after the internship.

I have been here since the end of September. To say the least, it has been epic. So many things to talk about. So much I have already learned. So much yet to learn. Friends who have impacted me.

The Lord knew I liked to stay busy. So, not only am I interning, taking an online class, working at a shoe store, and driving an elderly man to the hospital Monday-Friday, I have been sooo incredibly blessed to find an awesome church and two fantastic small groups!

There have been hard and lonely times, and there have been awesome and exciting times! I can't wait to see what is next!
