Hey y'all! I'm sorry for how long it's been since I posted anything. It's funny how summer is supposed to be time for relaxing and having a life, yet somehow it gets filled with all kinds of random stuff before you even know what's happening... Or maybe that's just me and my inability to control my own schedule, lol.
Anyways, I'm finally stationary and no longer swimming in random things to catch up on, so I figured I should send out a ping. A lot has happened over the last couple of months. Not much of it is worth reporting on, but one big change has been made: I'm not going back to Kona in September. My plan had been to staff Discipleship Bible School at YWAM Kona over the fall quarter, but recently that plan changed. There are a few different reasons why, which I would be more than happy to share about in detail to anyone who wants to know. If you care to know, you can message me and we'll chat. =) The main point, though, is that this fall I will be staying home to continue my college education. I actually finished my art courses already, but I recently decided to double major in Art and Business, so that's added about a year to my time at SRJC. (One of those changes I mentioned) For those of you in Santa Rosa, that means I'll be around more! For those of you I'll miss in YWAM, <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I love you guys!!! Honestly, I've always let college take a backseat to YWAM because of the strong calling I've felt towards missions. I still feel like that's where I belong, but for now God has been putting it on my heart to get my degree and genuinely pursue what He has for me here in this time. It's quite a change of pace, but that can be a good thing. (At least, that's what I'm telling myself.) Life in California is very different from life in the missions field and I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it. Call me crazy, but I'd take trekking through the bush over sitting in traffic ANY day!! I find it easier to talk to people who don't even speak English than to my own classmates. (Which I realize sounds ridiculous and makes me laugh at myself frequently) But God calls us to unexpected things sometimes, and for now that's staying home. I am staying put in faith that God will open doors for me to engage with people who need His love, and that through this time His kingdom will grow in my heart and life. Well that's the long and short of it. My life is going to get very boring once school starts - at least I don't anticipate much excitement in taking business classes, but who knows? There are surprises everywhere. I have done a bit of painting over the summer and will try to make time to update my art page before my every waking moment gets sucked into the event horizon of the Fall Semester...
