The major plight that I keep running into with the blogging thing is "what on earth do I write about?" I want to to be interesting, maybe funny, but most of all I want you to get a glimpse of what my life looks like now that I'm getting ready to move to Germany. Here is my life:
It is a myth that I have graduated. Sad. I. Know. :( but DONT WORRY, I didn't do anything wrong. I had one last class to take before I get my Bachelor of Science in Theology and Youth Ministry. I also wanted to walk with all of my best friends from Multnomah this May. Knowing myself pretty well, I thought it might be best to take this last class when I actually had time. Its working pretty well this way and I love that this class has no tests so I can officially say that I will never take a test in college again. *happy dance*
I don't have a job yet, but I may have a lead on one. If you think to pray about it that would be awesome! It would be working at a Portland school as an educational assistant. Its better pay then I would get at any other job that I have applied for and its only part time which allows me to continue doing photography. Speaking of my other love... :) Photography is going well. God is blessing me with some jobs and I'm hoping for more. I'm also just taking a lot of pictures for fun. I can't help it haha I also got some good advice recently that before I leave I should take a LOT of pictures.

(This lovely advice giver had no idea she was talking to someone whose camera is already {practically} her 3rd arm. I have taken her wisdom to heart and I'm trying to documenting everything. Oh happy life...)
"How is support raising going?"
...Oh, I can't tell you how many times a week I hear this question and it is so encouraging! God is blessing me with so many people who are interested and passionate about BFA and God's call for me to go. My reply: Its going well. Slow. But God is showing that He is faithful.
I'm in a Bible Study Fellowship group right now and we are going through Genesis. Who would have thought that I would be learning about support raising in Genesis, but I am! My most recent and profound lesson was this: God wants us to ask, bring things before him that we need/want/are worried about and lay them at His feet. THEN (here is the key) leave them there. We don't ask for them back. We don't continue to worry (How to really do that is still a bit of a mystery to me). We give them as a sacrifice and then allow Him to do what He has promised to do: love us and provide in His best way.
So thats how support raising is going. I'm learning a lot while I find the balance of being proactive and leaving it in God's hands. Please pray that I would be able to do that and that. God will bring in all the things I need for this move! In. His. Timing.
