twists and turns

Over the past few months my life has been nothing but twists and turns.  There has been so much stretching and growth in the process.  I'll try to give a quick update on my life as of now since it has been so long, but I'm sure I'l leave out some detail along the way. 

JOB/SCHOOL:  Many know that I was fired from what I like to now call my "summer job."  It was an experience I wouldn't trade by any means.  Talk about humbling and growing my faith.  With in two weeks of being fired I was suppose to move into an apartment with Amy, which cost lots of money.  I was fired on a Monday, spent all day Tuesday on the beach (it was a stressful job so I thought (I would soak in the unemployment for a day), then Tuesday called a family friends to ask her about where she worked.  Wednesday I applied and while apply had an interview set up, interviews Thursday morning, and was hired Friday morning.  All that to say PRAISE GOD!!! 

Now that I have worked there for a little under two month, I couldn't be happier with my job.  I get to help widows and widowers everyday!  Through this job I have found that I for sure want to study Occupational Therapy Assisting in college, then I can better help these people.  It couldn't have been more perfect how God worked out the details.

Me being excited about work and college :)

ROOMMATE: After God worked out the details of the job, we still moved into our apartment.  It's beautiful!  It has an amazing view and space.  We live together well and are loving it!

Roommate love!

FAMILY: Deanna and Trace came to visit this month, which was an unexpected trip for this year.  Everyone was happy to see them, especially me because of my Africa trip, I won't get to see them at Christmas time.  They also got to meet my amazing boyfriend, so that was great for us!!!!

Tracers :)
 
BOYFRIEND:  He is the man that I had always prayed for and everything more.  We have officially been dating for like two weeks, but there was alot that had to happen before we made it "official" and we found out we have both been in love to sometime now :) 

This is Evan and his son Morgan :)

AFRICA:  We have plane tickets and alot more to go along with it.  But along with it comes stress and anxiety.  Please be praying for us we are entering the final stretch of preparing with WorldVenture on our trip.  Thanks so much!
