The Lord is amazing! Have I mentioned that?! He is truly a God with a plan and has been revealing Himself in some crazy ways!! Here is an update on life:
I left Point Loma and transferred to Cal Baptist. I was so scared to come here and God has given me such a peace. I am so excited to see what He has in store my next few semesters here. He has changed the direction of my major and I am now a Liberal Studies major with a double concentration in English & Global Studies. I have made some amazing friends with my roommates and I love every moment we hang out! I am working at a tutoring center where I work with kids who come from rougher homes that I love on them while I teach. I was terrified at first but God has used me in some ways to love on the kids. I am so sad that we will be done in June and I will be away from them for 3 months! The Lord has given me this job that is guaranteed to me until I graduate from CBU or no longer want it. It is a job that works with my schedule and pays well. In my time here at CBU I am taking two Intercultural Studies classes. These classes have challenged my way of thinking and brought so much awareness to life outside of California. The professor is insane and absolutely great! I applied to study abroad in London and everything looked like a go...I then became nervous and was wondering if that was really God's will for my life. I began praying. I so much wanted to travel and do something amazing but I didn't know if spending 4 months in Europe was what God had planned. I asked Him for a super clear sign because I was struggling. One day, I lost it to Andrew and was telling him how I had a desire to go back to Belize and maybe not London but I didn't see how that would be possible. That night I checked my email and there it was...an email from the Study Abroad counselor...I was not eligible to study abroad. Okay Lord...what now??
That was the door He shut. I am asking for prayer as I am praying to go to Belize this summer. Pray that if that is the Lord's will everything will work out without my pushing on a door. Pray for understanding and discernment on my seeking. Pray if the door is open that I will be a light to the people in Belize. I will go past my discomforts and love the people I am working with and the people I am ministering to. That I will truly look at everyone as a child of God who needs to be loved. Pray also for homesickness if that is where God has me. That He will be my comfort in those times of wanting home.
Thanks so much for all your prayers! I am so excited to share what God is doing in my life!
