spring break.

Now here's a little fun and different blog post from the others.

I'm currently writing from good ole Panama City, Florida.

Yes.... That means I'm your typical college student that goes on a trip during spring break. This is my last year of college so why not live it up before I have to grow up.

I'm here with my four best friends and I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else. To those who haven't been, I would highly recommend going with people you like. A) Ain't nobody wanna spend a week with people they aren't close to. B) Stuff will most likely get stolen. C) Staying with randos means they'll bring other randos.

Anyways, today didn't consist of much. Just spent most of the day driving, then went grocery shopping and now we're getting ready to hangout with some friends. I slept about 90% of the time so I can say I am fully rested for this week. So ready to be on the beach every day.

This will be an interesting week since we're from Oklahoma. Right when we pulled up to our place a group of guys came up asking where we are from. We told them and of course the first thing they brought up was the SAE stuff that went on at OU. My sorority even told us it might not be the best idea to wear our letter or anything that's Oklahoma related. Sad that racism is still a problem.

Crazy how the world is sometimes. But as for me just gotta smile, live every day to the fullest and treat people with kindness.

"To help me live in the now, I must trust in God for the then."

Yesterday I had my first interview over the phone for an internship this summer in Haiti.

The excitement and nervousness is overwhelming. Words can't explain how ecstatic I am.

For a some time I felt like nothing was happening.... I was at a point where I wasn't sure what move to make next. The waiting process is no fun (especially when you're a pretty impatient person.) I talked to my college pastor about it and he told me to keep pressing into God. Although nothing seems to be happening at the time, He is at work in my life.

Circumstances never change His promises. 

During this phase, every day, I need to:
Seek..
Trust...
Obey....
Praise..... 
Pursue......
And never lose hope in Him.

After a few weeks, something finally happened. I received a Facebook message about who to e-mail for an internship opportunity. So I did that and the next thing I know I had an interview over the phone a few days later.

I'll find out in about 3ish weeks if I got it or not.... These next few weeks will be. the. longest.

This organization I want to work with is the first one that caught my eye ever since I seriously decided I wanted to go and serve in Haiti. So it is truly a blessing they are considering me.

At this point, all I can do is pray and hope for the best. If it doesn't work out, I know God has something else planned for me. No point in worrying but to have peace and trust Him. God has got me this far, He will certainly not leave me now. He never has and never will. Which is so cool to me.

"Let God's faithfulness free you from the fear of the unknown."

I'm happy to say, my dream is slowly but surely becoming a reality.
