In the last month I have:
- Graduated from Olivet.
- Played Piano for a wedding,
- went to Minnesota,
- worked on HR related things... was actually a lot.. more to do
- played worship for 2 straight weeks of camp
- lead worship at my home church for 2 morning services and 1 evening service.
and oh yeah...
GOT ENGAGED!!!! :D
I have to brag a moment. My fiance is quite amazing. Never mind the epic beard, but who else would be so supportive a person who is choosing to leave for a year? He knew from the time we met that this was on my heart, he was there when I got the call that this could be reality and he is helping me develop into a better person every day.
So back on topic... "A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

I love reading, I love books, I love Lord of the Rings. Hence the title/quote. This is also something I've been learning over the last 4 years. My ability for timing is awful. I would never make a good drummer.
I guess, theologically, I shouldn't compare God to a Wizard but in my exhaustion from the last couple weeks, that was the first title that came to mind.
God has been so good. There have been multiple times where I've had mini freak-outs because I haven't gotten responses as quickly as I'd hope or funding wouldn't be quite to where I was hoping and in the midst of it all, God hasn't necessarily provided when or how I expected, but in the ways I have needed it.
The last 2 weeks in particular have been absolutely crazy. A Senior High camp, a weekend of engagement fun and a church service, then Jr High camp and a few more services without time for a break. I have been running on empty, but God has provided the strength needed to not just "get through" each of these things, but proven to dwell in His house despite of my flaws and allow us to worship Him.
If I've learned anything in my small experience with missions, things never happen the way you expect. I am going to teach English. I am going to serve. I am going to love. I am giving an opportunity for my friends and family partner with me and learn more about the Kingdom of God. :) I know that there is a place for me to sleep and people that I can rely on. Some ask how I don't know more specifics... when God is in the details and I know what I need to for this time. I am at peace and that is all that matters.
I know there will be times out on the field where I feel overwhelmed as I have these last couple weeks. But God has proven time and time again how He will work most when I am at my least <3 br="" god="" good.="" is="" nbsp="" so="">
