It is a funny feeling to be in your room and see everything you are used to seeing around--in a duffel bag on the floor. Tomorrow I leave and start the journey to Kansas City. I feel like this is not really happening, like I'm still five: packing my little suitcase to "move" downstairs. Slowly it is dawning on me that I'm not bound by anything really, I'm an "adult." Weird thought. I'm excited to start this new life, but at the same time I have trouble realizing that tomorrow and the next day I won't be waking up here in Muncie. I'll be in a whole different state, doing things I don't normally do. My "Normal" will change, and when the internship is over, my "Normal" will change again. Funny how life works. But it's nice to know that God won't ever change. I know that is such a "typical" Christian thing to say, but really. I'm not worried about the people that I am leaving here for a short while, because I know that God is looking after them. I'm a bit nervous about meeting new people and trying things I have not done before, but I know that God is with me and my goodness! I'm going to a place where people have dedicated themselves to God!
So here I go. I don't mean to be dramatic or anything like that. it's just that feelings and thoughts have always come easier onto paper then spoken aloud.
Oh my, I love you all. My lovely people!

House Full of Lutherans
Nothing against Lutherans, but well... they are in my house... well, it's really their house. Okay, for those of you who don't know-- I live in a Lutheran Campus house and they are having their monthly meeting today... in the living room....... and there would really be no problem, but you see I'm taking all of my extra stuff home today. And well, it's it all over the kitchen and the living room... and my purse is in the room they are meeting with... SO YeAh... I thought I would come and post here in the meantime! (I'm sure you are thinking "oh my, I know she said she will post alot, but really? this much? and she does not even have anything interesting to say about God...)
SOOOooooo if that is the case. God is good. and He loves you. There those are profound ideas that I'm sure you don't entirely grasp (my goodness, I don't!).
And now I will try and quietly make my breakfast and smuggle my junk out to my car.
I leave in like four days. And it's kinda weird.
But very happy.
Love you!

Getting ready for a change....
To start my blog at the beginning...
In about five days I'm going to be all packed, drive to Kansas City, MO, and start my internship with Fire In The Night. It has all come down at the eleventh hour-- I applied to the program about a month ago and waited to hear back... and waited... and emailed to see if they were having any problems... and waited...
Eight days before the program started I was sure that I would never hear back from them... that I had not hear the voice of God clearly, but imposed my own wishes... I was sent home from work, so I though and finely came to the conclusion that it was totally beyond my control. God was either going to open this door, or he was going to open a different one. And just at the point when I was resigned to staying in Muncie and finding out what God really wanted me to do.... I got an email. I got into Fire In The Night.
After the shock wore off, I realized that I had eight days to get everything done... And thus I have been running around like a crazy person...
But anyway, I wanted to start this blog to that I could let all you, my lovely people, know what I was up to! I'm not going to be on facebook much at all, but will post here muchly!
I'm not sure what all my life is going to look like for the next 3 to 6 months, but here is what I do know:
I will be taking classes to learn more about God and how to grow closer to Him, and I will be praying in the prayer room from 12 to 6am-- actively taking back the night for God.
Well, I must cut my blogging short, for I have about a million things to get done before I'll be ready to jump in the car and head to Kansas City.
I love you all.
God's blessing on you Greatly.
