Another door opens

Oh my gosh. The school year is winding down rapidly. 16 days until Team Kenya takes flight. Most of my schoolwork for the semester must be turned in before then. That means I'm in the last two stressful weeks of school. I hope I don't blink for too long and miss my graduation! I've realized that in my rush to get stuff done (i.e. youth group, homework, stuff for Kenya) I have neglected to realize that I am almost done with college, for ever. In spare moments I have been trying to reflect back on some of the meaningful things that I have been taught over the last four years. There is so much to reflect on, so much to rejoice in, so much to put behind me. Most importantly, there is so much to look forward to. Kenya is so close, graduation is so close. This weekend I am flying up to Benicia, Ca. I have interviewed with a church there and will be visiting the church and then giving them a decision! This is where I have to stop writing and reread that last sentence over and over and try to really soak it in. I just can't believe that I am graduating and going to be going out and doing full time ministry. It has always seemed like a far off distant dream. Yet, here I am getting ready to hit "the real world" and go do some ministry. I just hope that I can find contentment in what God calls me to and live my life as a reflection of Jesus.
